The first couple of days were very scary for Tye, he wouldn't come out of his cage unless we went in to get him. He would reluctanly sit with us but seemed to be warming up. I made a few phone calls to Joan and one thing she said really stuck with us....."He wants to be loved he just doesn't know what to do with it'. So we just kept loving him and eventually he started loving back. He's still uncomfortable with people he doesn't know but he tries. He has so much love to offer we really hope he gets over that.
He loves to run with his buddie Bodie and snuggle with our old girl Roxie. He's learned what toys and treats are and how to catch a ball, but still needs to learn how to bring it back. He loves the water and has ventured into the river to swim with Bodie. He's so much fun to watch run in an open field, you can see how happy he is. It's at times like that, you'd never know he spent the first three years of his life in a small cage in a dark barn (unimaginable!).
We are so lucky to have such a wonderful pet! We love him - he's with us to stay.
