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. Such a sweet face.

Poor traumatized kitties! I hope they all adjust well, and soon. Oh, and I like the English spelling, which is the one that always looks correct to me even though I am American. I am not sure why this is; perhaps because I read a lot as a kid. I also think "cancelled" is correct.

Oh wow, what a beautiful boy! He looks like a wonderful dog.

I feel bad that he and the cats are not settled, but I hope he'll enjoy the idea of having a new home and owner, and the cats will get over themselves ;)

I admit that I did laugh at the idea of George hissing in the recycling bin!

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!

What a gorgeous boy. It may take him (and the cats!) a while to adjust but I am sure you all will do just fine. :) It took about 3 months for Sierra's true personality to come out completely after we got her - I guess it took her that long to realize she was staying with us for good. Sergent's circumstances are pretty different, though.

What a gorgeous dog! How is the dog dealing with cats? We need to get a cat, but I'm afraid my dog would eat it.

What an absolutely gorgeous dog! Give him fluffy ruffles. <3

And also, he looks a bit like a husky/collie cross I had when I was young. We had Ruff from when I was about 4 or 5 til I was 14. Ruff was very loyal and hated when anyone cried. To demonstrate this to people we'd cover our face and pretend to cry. He'd leap on the cryer and force his muzzle between their hands so he could lick their faces like mad. It was a lovely endearing quality and I still miss him 30 years later.

And the cats will adjust. Once they discover the dog is not interested in them, or outright ignores him, they will get miffed and see if they can catch his interest again. I've seen this before. Hope it goes well. You might try Bach flower rescue remedy in their water though until you all settle. You too. It helps.
