Mozart - was out with Amy and Jessica when I got there. Was a really nice dog, if a little dirty, and liked being scratched on the butt. Really gentle and had a good disposition. He was fine being picked up.
Bubbles - super sweet. He had an application filled out on him and will hopefully be going home on Monday.
Thelma - was looked at by a guy from Moosup, CT. He took one of his dogs to meet her and she was fine with him. He is supposed to come back next Saturday so Thelma can meet his other dog. I also think that "new volunteer" (she was at the very first training session, but I haven't seen her since) might have been looking at her too, but I'm not sure.
Alvin - worked on let's go, sit and stay. We did a little bit of come, but not much. He's really good at sit and is okay at stay if you don't go too far away and if you keep your back turned. He has a lot of energy and a strong tendency to run to the end of the leash and then you have to turn around and jerk him in another direction. He was okay coming out of his cage, but stopped to sniff Tank and then got really reactive with Scooby, who apparently hates him and with every dog after that. He's great outside and really nice with people, running around, did well sitting and jumps, but not too much. He has lot of puppy energy and loves being pet and giving kisses. He was so bad going back in. I let him stop at Marmalade's and Teddy's cages to see if his reactiveness was a fluke, he was okay with Marmalade - who was sitting in the back corner of her kennel, but was really growling like crazy at Teddy. He went nuts with Scooby and nuts all the way back to his cage. At least he's small and not that hard to maneuver. I think he might be one that needs to come to training class and see if he can keep himself in check.
Teddy - got to come out twice. The first time was only for less than 5 minutes. Then I had a young family request to see him. He was great with the family and played with the older boy (older being 5 since the other one is a baby). They were so cute together. Even when Teddy tried to take the ball out of the boy's hand, the mom was cool and tried to tell the boy that he had to throw it. Teddy showed off his "sit" and "paw" skills. The family filled out an application on him... :) (They live in Providence and their boys are really young, but they seemed to love him, so let's see if everything falls into place.) The guy from CT who came with his dog last week and looked at Teddy didn't call or come back today.
Froggy - she had come out with Jessica and Amy earlier in the day and Jessica said she did well with "stay". Amy was impressed by her skills. :) Can anyone volunteering this week take her out and practice "stay" with her? She could try to pass her CGC test very soon if all goes well!
OTHER: There seems to be green penis syndrome going around - Scooby, Bubbles, Teddy. Also keep an eye on Tank and make sure his nose doesn't start have green snot. Lovely, isn't it. We could use some new pictures on Tinkerbell and Froggy, better pictures on Mozart & Snoopy and also info & pics on new dogs : I don't have any info or pics on Pens 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 20, (could use more info on 21), 22, 24, 25, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 38. *Not all of those pens have dogs, I just can't remember which ones do (though some might be owned).
