I used to chew on chain link fence, so my canines indicate. I wasn't welcomed indoors. I'm overtrained, too obedient, and I don't know why these people want me to sit on a blankie or a dog bed! They're sort of figuring that such are perhaps too heat retaining for me (?), but are going to call for help tomorrow. They'll get it, eventually, and I shall cringe no more. In all, it's only been a day and a bit, and they love me. I met their son last night, and when he knocked and came over this morning to pick up his laundry I barked! Ted just pilled me, and no problem. I think I wanna stay here! Love, Itok"

Adopters report, a week or so later: "He's getting his own possessions, is starting to proudly prance, and carries "bone" from place to place. He's a wonderful alarm (lovely bark), which my son & he enjoy too. He'll play w/ball a bit, and likes Frisbee a bit better. He knows his doggie run, and already that that's where one does one's private business. He's excellent on leash, and all in all just seems like the perfect companion 'cos he thinks cars & trucks are the greatest & he likes the Dodge Ram and the 5th Wheel!"

And again, after another week or so: "What I thought might be too much training might have been just his being exhausted ... He seems quite recovered now: went in today to see his new Vet again, & got his microchip, then we went for first bath, and then we went to Jane & Ted's "beauty!" parlor for haircuts for the humans & he just sat like an angel and even did a small woof without moving when their next client walked though the front door. We think he's starting to be relaxed & happy (well, it is a bit hot here by Husky standards).
