Floyd

Apparently we will be foster parents to Nic's dog Floyd (as in Pink) for the time being.  Trying to figure out how to travel with a dog in a plane was a whole new subset of info we were never really interested in having but there you go. 

 Floyd was one of three chihuahua mix dogs Nic had with a former girlfriend.  Ringo, Zeppelin & Floyd.  Yes, there is a definite leaning toward classic rock.
Fortunately Floyd is smart and well-behaved though not perfectly trained.  Hence, off to classes we go. Because he is small, they had us put him in a beginning class with puppies so the big dogs wouldn't freak him out.  Unfortunately ALL dogs seem to freak him out.

Covering sit, watch me, and touch.

 Discovered a lovely winding road that leads to Cooters Pond and a big ol' dog park (which is really just a fenced area with dry grass....hoping this improves) where he can run off leash and play with other dogs.  If there were ever any other dogs there.  And if he actually liked other dogs.  That little speck about mid photo is Floyd running crazily through the open space.  We took a little picnic and had our dinner there the other night as it is really a beautiful area and about 5 minutes from our place.

We also discovered a use for the tub that is rarely utilized due to the inability to fill it with more than 3 inches of water before it runs cold.  It suits Floyd just fine.

 

No, we weren't really interested in having another dog and no, we don't really don't know how this story plays out, but for the present .....one man's best friend is hanging at our place.
