Spencer is a gentile and affectionate Turkish dog. I'd like to give kudos to all involved in this noble endeavor. He had been previously adopted and came back to RAGOM through no fault of his own. He has been with me for a week now. Spencer had an ear infection and was being treated. He was seen by a vet on 6/19, and the ears looked good. Unfortunately, he tested positive for tapeworm and is now on Interceptor medication for that. Spencer is awesome. The biggest issue at my house has been the adjustment with my two resident dogs. He is respectful of their space and will yield appropriately when signaled to. I have always free-fed my dogs. I was advised to feed a new foster separately from my dogs so they are having to get used to having their food picked up and not available all the time. Spencer is young and energetic. At times, he will race around the yard, leaping over flower beds and the edge of the deck. He walks well on a leash. He doesn't often pull, but he does walk in front of my feet. He does bark in reaction to many things, i.e., other dogs barking, some street noise, dogs barking on TV. He is easily calmed down and this is happening less frequently. His excitement over anticipation of being fed is beginning to lessen as we are working on patience and taking turns for treats. Spencer is a Twins fan! On 6/19, Spencer was laying on his side in the living room with the Twins game on. Vargas hits a monster 485-foot homer. At that moment, Spencer started wagging his tail quite vigorously. This is my first foster, and I have given thought to the bittersweet day when I turn him over to a lucky family for his forever home. He is so deserving of a great life.
