Mostly a done deal

bill_schubertI took Toby to meet 'Scar' (name in parenthesis since I'm leaning towards Bojangles for obvious reasons). They had no problems with each other. A bit of shiffing here and there but no overt animosity and Toby was in the most unfamiliar environment he'd been in for as long as we've had him, the shelter. So he was really nervous and no problems at all. 'Scar' is just a laid back dog no matter what.
They already had a 'he's taken' sign on the kennel and I've got him reserved with a promise to be back on Saturday morning where we'll have a Dana/Toby meet and greet.
But I think it is a done deal. 'Scar' has not, as far as I know, ever been inside a home. He tried to walk through a glass door not understanding that there was glass there or what glass is or much what is door? He reminds me of the grayhounds in Florida who had never seen steps before.
He'll take a little while to reset and learn where things are and there will be snipping over toys I'm sure but he's a lap dog and will likely attach to me while Toby is Dana's Alfa dog, or she is his actually.
I may take Toby back over tomorrow or Friday so he'll get the idea. He does not like riding in the car as it ends up at the vet too often so maybe not.
Anyway, I think he needs a good home and Toby needs a friend to play with and so unless Dana freaks out, which I doubt, we'll double the paws in the house on Saturday morning.
I've got a 40 pound brand new bag of dog food that Toby just wasn't up to so he needs help.
