I have a husky mix here and she HATES summer...it's just too darned hot. Of course, where ever he finds the right home will be great, but I'm sure he'd be happier where it's cooler.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020175351653703130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-560024828001981162009-05-21T22:47:19.139-04:002009-05-21T22:47:19.139-04:00TAS should be finding out where he'll be going in ...TAS should be finding out where he'll be going in the next couple of days. There's also a possibility of a rescue here in Ontario which may actually be better since these dogs were built for cold winters and not hot summers.<br /><br />George is very well behaved on leash and with people in general until there's another dog around and then he becomes a jumping, barking, freakazoid and it's hard to tell if it's aggression or something else. Unfortunately, with that kind of strength and weight at the end of the leash, they're not letting him get close to other dogs again. He'll be learning his doggie socialization skills at the rescue.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243247582677457166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-69153291193412871692009-05-21T22:21:55.670-04:002009-05-21T22:21:55.670-04:00He's amazingly well-behaved on a leash, for not ha...He's amazingly well-behaved on a leash, for not having "manners" yet.

I guess this happens a fair bit, since there are plenty of folks with more money than sense.<br /><br />Anyway, nice that he still has The Attitude. Maybe there's a lady TM out there that will see him for the big old cuddly bear that he is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
