New Puppy :)

Meet Boomer. He is around 6 months old Australian Cattledog Mix...possibly with lab since that is what the rest of them were black lab mixes. He was taken from a situation in which he was one of like 20 dogs running loose on a farm with little human interaction. He is afraid of people, but I know he will come around. He already took treats from me this morning. He is afraid of the leash so yea got a lot of work ahead of me, but I am so in love with him. He did just come down with kennel cough so excuse his boogers. I couldn't wake him just to wipe the floor, he just seemed so peaceful.

He also only twitched at the flash going off but never opened his eyes.

I LOVE cattle dogs. He is a beauty. Enjoy him. I have had several skittish dogs that I turned around with love and patience. What a rewarding experience. Love him up good!

Boomer appreciates all the positive feedback hehe.

We made awesome progress today. We pottied outside!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Ok granted by outside I mean the balcony, but for a dog being leash scared its a start in house breaking when you live in an apartment. Later I plan to just sit out there with him while he wears the leash and hope things keep progressing but I know with a true rescue dog its 1 step forward and 2 steps back a lot. Sadly his sister is still there at the shelter afraid out of her mind. I wish I could foster the poor girl, but 2 medium dogs I think is a no no in my complex.
