Lyle

Lyle, "Mr. Personality"

2011-03-24T11:12:00.000-07:00

Lyle is back in the program, through no fault of his own, after being with a family for a year.

He has been in our foster home for almost 2 weeks and is a joy to have around. He has a wonderful personality--very affectionate, gentle and extremely well-behaved. Since he was already living in a home, he knows what retirement is all about--taking naps, roaching, playing, sleeping through the night and pottying outside (no accidents). We have no stairs in our home, except for 2 steps up to our front door, which he manages very well. He does well on solid-surface floors too. He loves to play outside in the fenced-in area with his foster sisters, Izzy and Luvie and go for walks. He is a sweet, loving boy who any family would be blessed to have.

Lyle loves it when you talk to him

Lyle made an appearance at the meet and greet at 100 Oaks this weekend and he had quite the time! I put his muzzle on him and let him walk around Petsmart to see how he would react to the little dogs and he was not even remotely interested in them. He did love to look at the birds and the rats in their cages. Luckily, he had his muzzle on because he kept hitting his nose on the glass trying to play with the rats.
Lyle loves to be involved in any excitement that is going on and if it is too calm for him, he creates his own excitement. He loves to chew up stuffies and always has several bones within reach. He would love to be in a house where there is plenty to occupy his attention, this is a dog who likes to run and play, no couch potato here!!

The first night

I picked up Lyle yesterday from the vet and he was alittle unsure of how he was supposed to sit in the car, he had his two back feet on the floorboard and his two front feet on the seat and decided that was good enough for him and rode like that all the way to my house.
He felt much more at ease meeting my two greyhounds and he is very respectful of not intruding on their space. Lyle is happy and is curious and loved just walking around the house sniffing of everything. He jumps right into his crate and I can already tell he loves stuffies.
I will post more once I get to spend more time with this sweet boy.
