Winston has a family

Good news this morning! We took Winston back to the Humane Society on Saturday -- and he has already been adopted. Yay for Winston and his new family. He is such a sweet boy; I know that he will be such a good addition to a family -- and will keep them laughing at his silly antics.

Our new friend Winston

Winston, a 3 month old pit bull, arrived at our home on Wed. Winston is staying with us for some socialization. He is very timid, and just needs to become comfortable meeting new situations and people confidently.

When Winston arrived Wed, he refused to leave his crate for hours. Taking him outside for a potty break was just tremendously overwhelmiing for him. He could barely get up the courage to stand and pee -- but just lay on the ground with his head between his paws extremely sad, lonely and terrified.

But by today, he is walking out of his crate when we open it -- although tentatively, and this morning he even mustered up the courage to step through the front door into the out doors. He no longer lays outside, but quickly does his business and then sniffs about and does a small version of the pit bull twist and wiggle pounce. If you have ever seen a happy pit bull, you know what I mean.

Winston even went for a walk with me this morning, all the way down to the park, and around it. I stopped in at my credit union, and they invited him in, but that was just one doorway too many for him. We'll stop and visit them next Monday.
