Bonding

Happy is getting more confident in his new surroundings although Sandra will be calling him Shuang Shuang (his Chinese name)to get his attention. He responds better to that. He has been wearing his thunder shirt to make him feel more secure.  He loves to explore the garden and knows where the door back in to the house is. Look at his tail wag! ♥

Sandra's lap is a place of warmth and comfort for Shuang Shuang. He feels safe there but he has been growling at Sandra's other dogs when he is on her lap. Sandra says it is more of a fear growl than an aggressive growl but we don't want him to be clingy and not get on with the other dogs and we also don't want the other dogs to start getting jealous of him so Sandra is going to start the introductions to each dog slowly so that everyone knows who the other is. He has always been around other dogs at the shelter but they were the ones he grew up with although when new rescues were introduced he did a lot of sniffing then ignored them so we hope everyone will be ok.
