Former Foster Pupdate
Not sure if you all remember my sister’s first foster Basset Hound, Yeager, he was only with us for a few weeks before he got adopted out to a wonderful home in Michigan. Recently his new owners sent a pupdate to tell us how “Luther” (they renamed him) is doing. Here is the pupdate and two pictures. We love happy endings and there are so many to tell about in fostering! Hooray for Luther/Yeager, and hooray for my sister for getting him adopted out to a wonderful furever home!

“Luther is doing great. Chris and I just adore him! It did take quite alot of work to get him housetrained and to stop marking his territory inside the house. I think he’s finally understanding what’s right and wrong. I knew to use alot of patience. I can see from scolding him, he lays on the ground and rolls over extremely scared. Someone must have beat him in the past. We do not train that way! When I see him that scared I put my arms around him and hold him telling him he’s a good boy. We have found he’s very afraid of loud noises. Probably associated with the beatings from a previous owner trying to scare him into doing right. During thunderstorms he is so frightened. 
I started to use the natural calming holistic Naturvet products. They seem to be working to ease him. All of this brings me closer to him. I want to protect him and give him a happy carefree life.
He makes us laugh at all the silly things he does and gets into. When he walks, his front feet are so big making him clumsy sometimes. His howl is so unique that we laugh at that all the time. He stills jumps up onto the counters and us when we sit at the table. This will take some time but eventually he should know to sit and behave along with his brothers.
His brothers love him! They play constantly. He loves to play chase all afternoon in the yard with both brothers. They get a little carried away sometimes with the play wrestling so we have to jump in and settle them down but then it’s off and playing again. He loves to be my shadow and follow me all 
around. When I sit on my swing in the front yard, Luther comes running, jumps up and lays down next to me. He loves to swing with me. When Chris gets home from work, Luther pretty much knocks him down with excitement.
Chris and the three boys love play wrestling and playing chase.
I’ve attached a couple more pics. Luther’s body is really filling out nice from eating regular good meals everyday. He’s a beautiful dog!”
Hooray for Luther! It sounds like he hit the jackpot with that wonderful home!
