Willie

Cameron/Willie (I renamed him) is doing great! He's the best dog I could ask for. We both enjoy our afternoon walks with the occasional trip to the park. I never realized how fast he was... or perhaps how slow I was. I know that eventually I'll teach him how to fetch. Currently I throw the tennis ball and he'll run to it, touch it with his nose and run back. So, he may just be teaching me how to fetch, but I know we'll get the hang of it. He's very bright, though easily distracted with his sense of smell. He is still shy around strangers, but he's in love with my girlfriend. She's the only other person he gets sad about when she leaves. He'll pace around looking through the different corners of my house hoping that she's around one of them just hiding waiting to give him a treat. And when I leave, he gives me the saddest eyes, like I'm leaving for ever. Now I sort of distract him with his Kong toy filled with peanut butter or another toy with hotdog bits inside. That usually keeps him busy. I think with some more interaction with people and other dogs, he'll kick those habits, fears and anxieties and become the carefree dog I know he is. I just want to say, "Thank you" to your organization for pairing me up with such a great friend! Nick
