Dear Judy:
I just wanted you to see our holiday card so you could see how
completely Cody (formerly Kip) is a part of our family. Have a great
Thanksgiving. Thanks again for our new family member. Hope all is
well, Tracy Gold
update on may 31.
Dear Judy:
I just wanted to let you know that we are thrilled to announce the
addition of Kip to our family. The boys have re-named him Cody
which he seems to be quickly be getting used to. We had fun driving
outside Morgan City to meet he and Chance, but got a flat tire
on the way home. Thankfully, he and Misty handled the long drive
and the delay like champs.
Although the foster parents said Kip/Cody needed to be around people
more to get used to them, and both he and Chance were VERY calm when
we met them, Cody has already warmed up and pepped up! He and Misty
get along great and chase each other when playing in the back yard.
It took one day for us to teach Cody to jump on the bed and now he
sleeps with me and Dave. Actually, he lays on top of me if I let
him. I would say that he has very quickly warmed up to all of us.
He is also extremely gentle with all three of the boys. Not surprisingly,
as he gets more comfortable at his new home, his energy level soars!
He also has a little habit of chewing inappropriate household items,
so we have stocked up on rawhides in all shapes and sizes.
Unfortunately, we believe he must have been hit by his original owners
because sometimes he flinches when you go to pet him. And, when Dave
took down a suitcase and plopped it on the bed, Cody flinched and
ran for cover. Don't worry though, I think he is learning fast how
gentle we all are and how much love he will get here. He seems housebroken
since he holds it at night, and thankfully since my 5 year old had
his tonsils and adnoids out last Friday, we will both be home most
of the next 2 weeks to help him fully adjust.
We cannot thank you enough for helping us find our newest family member.
We will take photos this weekend and e-mail them to you. Thanks again,
Tracy
P.S. If any other possible parents want to ask us about Chance before
making the drive to see him, please tell them to feel free to give
us a call. Chance was also a sweetie and it was a tough decision
although the boys unanimously picked Kip. We would love to see Chance
get a good home too!
Kip is about 1 year old and is the littermate of Chance.
He needs some tender loving care. They both are laid back and are responding
well to human attention. They are in a foster home where they play
with two of goldens and do really well. They will quickly respond to
all the loving they will receive. They are heartworm negative and ready
to go.
