On this day in 2014 we got Falcor from our apartment manager who was moving and didn't want her 5 month old puppy anymore. Ken already loved the dog and had been asking the manager if he could have the dog for a while because she and her husband weren't treating him well.
This is the dog pen that Falcor spent his first 5 months in. The manager said he was too hyper to let out so she had him in this all the time. Every time Ken or anyone went into her office, the dog was always in this so when she gave him to us she also gave this dog pen to us and we just used it at night until he was potty trained. He wasn't house trained and had never walked on a leash before we got him. He was scared of everything and we suspect that he was abused since he always acted so scared and would start screaming when he saw a belt, broom or shoe.
He's a happy dog now and doesn't act the way he did when we first got him. He isn't scared of us anymore and loves going for walks, rides and getting spoiled. He even let me put this bandanna on him...for a minute.
The looks he gives me are funny. He will just sit and let me takes pictures when he hears the camera come on. As long as he's getting some attention, he's happy.
My daughter took this picture of him. Cracks me up. He likes having his picture taken.
Now he has a bed, blanket, toys and loves to go for walks.
He doesn't even mind wearing his t-shirt.
Again with the weird looks.
Oh and he had a potato fetish. We have to keep them up away from him or he'll toss them all over the living room.
I am so glad that you were able to save him. And konw that he is too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. He's such a happy dog.
DeleteHappy Gotcha Day, indeed! You guys are so good to him.
ReplyDeleteThat is a hoot about the potatoes.
Thank you. I don't know. They're kinda round so maybe he thinks they are balls or something to play with.
DeleteGreat that is has come so far and just enjoying life indeed. lol they pick the weirdest things to be obsessed with.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do. Potatoes of all things.
DeleteA fortunate dog, after such an unhappy start in life.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm happy we were able to get him out of that abusive home.
DeleteIt's great that you could take him
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we did.

ReplyDeleteThank you, I am too.

ReplyDeletelol He was so funny with that bandanna. He just kinda gave me a look like, are you done yet?
DeleteI really don't understand why people get dogs and then treat them like that. I'm so glad that he found a good home with you guys.

I don't get it either. It makes no sense to me.
DeleteWhat a cutie. I'm glad the puppy found a good home with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am too.

ReplyDeleteI am too.
DeleteYou guys belong together! Sweet puppy :*
ReplyDeleteThank you. He fit right in here.
DeleteThat is too funny about potatoes Mary. I love my rescue and can't imagine why anyone would after 4yrs not want her anymore.
ReplyDeleteShe is the best thing to happen to us. Good for Falcor for worming his way into Ken's heart!!!
Potatoes and he are too funny. He will stick his whole head in the bag to get one. I'm glad you have a sweet dog too.
DeleteFalcor is precious! I'm so glad he has a good home now.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am too.
DeleteHe is lucky to have such a great home. I always enjoy your Falcor photos. He has such attitude. *grin*
ReplyDeleteThank you. He really does have a funny attitude.
DeleteThe best places in the afterlife are reserved for the compassionate. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute and happy guy. Lucky, too.
I like that. He is such a happy little dog.
DeleteHappy Gotcha day! :D
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteI had no idea that Falcor had such a shaky start in life so all credit to you and Ken for the happy dog that he obviously is now. Did he get a special potato for Gotcha Day?
ReplyDeleteHe didn't start out with a great life but he has one now. No potatoes for him. He tosses his toys in the air and would break the glass in my cabinet. lol
DeleteAw he's a cutie. And sounds like you guys rescued him from an iffy life- he's a lucky dog to have such loving owners now!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad we got him out of the bad situation he was in.
DeleteSuch a happy day. What a wonderful story and one lucky little guy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. He's a happy little dog now.
DeleteI am so glad that Falcor found his way to you. It is shame how things started out for him.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we have him now too.
DeleteI'm glad you were there to give Falcor a better life! You're angels ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad too.
DeleteAhh this post made me happy. I am so glad that you guys adopted Falcor and changed his life for the better.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am too.
DeleteI'm so glad yall were able to get him, his whole life changed for the better. We adopted our cat a year or two back and she still occasionally acts like how Falcor did, pretty sure she was abused :(
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's so sad about your cat. I'm glad that you have her now though.
DeleteI'm so glad he made his way to yall. Happy gotcha day, yall!
ReplyDeleteThank you. So am I.
DeletePoor boy! I'm so glad that you guys got him Mary and he has a good home now. He's such a cute dog. I love Falcor updates. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. He's so goofy but he's so sweet. I'm glad we have him.
DeleteI am so glad you got Falcor, he seems to have a great home with you and that's great his behavior has improved so much since you got him. That's sad he was kept in that pen for so long.
ReplyDeleteHe was such a scared little thing when we got him. He's so relaxed now.
DeleteI am so pleased that you were able to save him.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all the photographs.
All the best Jan
Thank you. He's relaxed so much since we've had him.
