Day 4 - Today I saw something small dash across the street when The Foster Lady and I went for a walk with her friend. It was called a ‘bunny’ and since it was running, of course, I wanted to chase it. I’m a terrier, remember? But, since I am learning leash manners, The Foster Lady kept me reined in. She says that I have to remember that she is taking me for a walk, not the other way around! A friend of hers called Jane came with us. Jane was a bit afraid of me, because I am one of ‘those dogs’, but at the end of the walk, I was giving her kisses.

We also took a ride in the car, cause The Foster Lady wants to see how I do with rides. She says she has a house in the mountains and it will take some time to get there and she wanted to see how I did. I loved it! She left me with my blanket in the wayback and did some shopping and came back and everything was just fine. I had not eaten anything I wasn’t supposed to! Next we got home and she brought Meathead Stan out to the car and put him in the front seat. I stayed in the wayback that has a gate across it; I wasn’t really afraid, cause Stan stayed right in the front seat, next to The Foster Lady, starring straight ahead. He never even turned around to look at me!!! I think that my barking at him when he walks past my crate has sent a signal. But what’s a dog to do? I had to fend for myself for a long, long time. I’m not too sure I will ever totally trust another dog. Time will tell I guess.

After we got home, I got a meaty marrow bone in my crate which was great. The Foster Lady puts them in something called 'the freezer' so it takes a long, long time to clean them out. Before bedtime, The Foster Lady called the Meathead and Tubby downstairs. She pulled the sheet back from the crate and she had this thing that squirted at in my face, if I barked fiercely at those lugs. Once I stopped that (I mean, those guys really, really scare me…they are so much bigger, like some of the dogs I had to run away from when I was on the run!), she made them sit next to the crate, and then she gave each one of them a treat and me a treat. Leni, treat, Stan, treat, Lily, treat. I guess she wanted for me to see that good things CAN happen, when we are together. Then they went upstairs to what I am sure is a big cozy bed where they sleep with The Foster Lady. It was our QT time and we watched some ‘TV’. I am learning how nice it is to get my tummy rubbed on the sofa. It was my bedtime. I did a fairly good imitation of a lone wolf howl, several times. Nothing happened; I figured, might as well get some shut-eye.
