Shader the Loving Survivor ~ VIDEO

I guess he's decided to stay. lol He's had few problems. He's terrified of black buckets. He's frightened of dragonflys too. That brought a low growl out of him. He loves the young steer next door. They swap spit & run the length of the fence together. I need to get pictures of him kissing the cow. He's got a ton of new toys, that he loves dearly. He has no desire for raw foods but took to my cooked dog food eagerly. He's a chow hound, for sure. There's been no aggression towards my ferret. But, they have only been allowed to sniff each other. They will not be spending time together, I only wanted to know if Shader would knock down the wall to get him. He is uninterested in him. Good. He's not attracted to the chickens either. He can be off leash around them. He is supervised anyway. Why risk an accident. Tow of the three cats have accepted him. The other is a bitch (said lovingly) and tolerates his presence. She's been the alpha for a while and is not eager to back down a notch. When the neighbors dogs bark at the fence, he'll bark back, but doesn't go to the fence. He just doesn't care about them. He's not frightened, he just knows that this is his home and they aren't part of it. I am very happy that we were allowed to adopt him. We make a good family. Ruth

You remember, Shader, the bait dog? We adopted him 11 years ago. He wanted you to know that he's a little older, a little slower, but he's lived his best life. He's 14 now.
