It has been a whole year now since we adopted our newest baby, Cort. He has turned out to be a great dog. A few growing pains along the way but much, much better. He is learning more each day. (but still barks) He now knows our routine and no longer gets out of bed in the morning when I leave for work. He makes the rounds on each of the beds to ensure he owns it all. I have a friend who adopted a dog about the same time. We share dog sitting and dog walking so the dogs are very rarely at home alone. He is truly part of the family and goes everywhere with us. He would go to school with us in the morning when I drove the kids. Now the kids have a school bus so Cort and I ride the school bus in the morning to do the loop around the neighbour hood then get let off to continue our morning walk to the field and park. He is the school bus greeter and the kids love it.
Cort's life is very busy. In the summer we were at the beach everyday. Cort loves to swim and his long fur can hold a lot of sand to bring home to my floors. He walks, runs, swims, rides in cars, fetches sticks and balls and barks. He also loves to camp and float down the river on a hot afternoon. We were in Alberta this summer in our motor home. Stayed on a farm just outside of Calgary. There he met a grump girl dog, who he became friends with, horses, chickens and a turkey. Had to pen the chickens as he loved to chase them and finally we penned the turkey as I think Cort finally made "Tom" the Turkey mad and the turkey kept charging him. Had to save the dog. We also camped at "Writing on Stone Provincial Park" and "Waterton Lakes". Cort has also been to many other places. He loves to travel.
We kept the name Cort. We did try and think of a few others but in the end liked that name. He became very attached to me and the kids did have a had time bonding with him. He has now accepted them and that bond is growing more each day.
So as you can see he is a very happy dog.
Thank you for letting us adopt him.
By for now,
Susan
