Greetings from the wonderful world of Willow 13-137. Fresh from an awesome vacation in Apple Valley (while foster mom took care of business in Wisconsin), sweet Willow is full of stories about her antics while in the tender loving care of another RAGOM volunteer and her family. Here are some highlights:
- Willow thoroughly enjoyed twice daily walks, and walked nicely on a leash as she followed the lead of one of the resident dogs.
- Willow spent time with a cat and did not show signs of aggression; granted, it was an older and slow moving cat, but time with any cat is better than no time at all.
- On her first night, Willow could not seem to settle and get comfy. In the morning, her host found her snoozing in the shower, yes, the shower (and it wasn’t even a stormy night). After that, Willow spent nights curled up on any available dog bed along with the resident pups.
- Willow had a blast with her three new canine friends, and adored her special human friends. It was no accident that foster mom asked this volunteer to care for Willow in her absence. This gal provided Willow’s transport from her former home at the kennel, to her foster home, and we’ve kept in touch ever since. It is a wonderful thing that so many folks love Willow.
- Vacation foster mom and regular foster mom keep experimenting to find the right thing to help Willow cope during thunderstorms. The poor girl is inconsolable; and the tough thing is that a tool/resource/arrangement only seems to work once, and then it is back to the drawing board. We will keep trying, and hopefully communicate a solution that can be duplicated soon.
