Dorg!

Sergeant (well, Sergent, but I think for the purposes of this LJ I'll stick to the English spelling) is now at home with me.



He's settling in pretty well. The cats are furious: Pan-Pan is hiding in the highest place he was able to find, Smudge has disappeared, and George is hissing sporadically at the proceedings from inside the recycling bin. Yeah, I don't know either.

Unfortunately, the poor guy is still waiting at the door for his Mommy and Daddy to come back. I'm going to take him for a walk in an hour or so in the hopes that this will cheer him up. His Mommy cried when she left, poor thing. I think this separation is going to be hard on all of them, but I have promised to email regular updates to them, and they live close enough that they can come visit if they want.

He's gorgeous! He's got more Husky looks in his face than Carter does, but the pattern & colouring on his chest & legs is very similar to Carter's. Once he has settled in, maybe you'll be able to bring him out here for a day so they can meet... If you need any advice on parenting a Husky/Collie, feel free to email us!

Willdo absolutely. The poor guy is older than Carter was when you got him, and he's lived with his family for five years, so right now he's still waiting for them to come get him. I am trying to offer lots of pats but not really hover, and it's a difficult balance to strike.

I am sure he and Carter would have a great time on a play date together. If you guys are coming to Capricornucopia, we can chat about dates then. :)
