| 29 July 2008 | Saturday Dante left with Edgar and Whitman to stay at camp Bryant until his new mom was off work and could devote herself completely to him. He is a stunning tall black and tan boy and walked out to the car in all his glory! Dante will make his new family so proud I am convinced! I will miss this boy badly! Lisa says he made progress right away and walked beautifully on a leash and in and out of any new environment.
Dante is united with his new mom who had prepared herself completely. They neighborhood children came to meet the new beauty on the block! Good luck sweet boy! (AS)
Dr. Ulrike Reinisch arrived early from CT and spent hours observing the dogs, particularly withdrawn Edgar and shivering Charlotte, to see which would benefit the most from her fostering and magical TLC . Charlotte was chosen for a variety of reasons... Another cheese and treat party as the fosters began to arrive. Charlotte and Edgar (the wall flowers stayed in the background as more people came outside). Edgar began cheek puffing. Anna fitted the nervous trio -Charlotte, Jane, Edgar with lure coursing jackets as anxiety wraps. Anna & Christina prepared the comfy crates crates with clouds of paper towels... Jane turned Lisa's foster agreements into a bed. I am missing them already... Dramatic contrast between the way our precious pups looked in their crates the day they arrived and the day they left... Gloriously groomed, lured by juicy bones and chicken breasts, haloed by Rescue Remedy spray, each happier Hound crated up willingly... Cyrano left for Maryland, Charlotte for Connecticut, Dante, Whitman and Edgar with Lisa to Philly, Frost (Christina/Jules) and Jane (Sue) staying close by on LI... (JA)

| 25 July 2008 | Dante is such a doll .... he continues to be quite subdued, but he truly loves company and absolutely loves to snuggle with you - looking in his eyes you know how sweet he is. he adores being pet and touched and he snuggles his head deeply next to yours - loves being held.... he did walk a little bit with the harness ... was okay with it - slow but better!!!! he is sooo very precious. (LR) ...I felt like Jane Goodall with cheese...Thurs, Edgar was a voyeur and non-participant...Whitman was partying on his own from a distance. Everyone had the happy look except for worried Edgar. By Friday, both boys had joined in the fun... On Friday, Charlotte was romping with the gang but the only one too nervous to partake of the cheese and liver treats...Ironically she had made a pig of herself on Thursday. Jane is adept at finding open run gates and moving the party inside with her siblings.. Everyone "takes food" with manners. (JA)

| 23 July 2008 | Dante is still very cautious when you enter his cage, and he takes a little while to warm up (similar to Charlotte). But, he is such a big love once he is comfortable. (CW) GROOMATHON | ||||
| 22 July 2008 | Dante took time coaxing to relax with me in the cage with him. He is very interested in anything I did but was stand offish. He needs time. (JW) After walking and spending quality time with everyone - we worked on clipping down Dante (he was by far the worst matted out of everyone - his mats had to be three inches thick - it was like he had on two winter coats .... plus tons of dreadlocks .... he couldn't get air to his skin ) he was sooooooo good - - we let him be comfortable and worked on the available areas, since every inch of him was matted - he was a darling - I know he was feeling better with each inch removed..... a rough clip was done on him - just to get all the mats and dreadlocks out - after his bath he can be clipped smooth again - he will feel MUCH better now for sure!!!
