Good news & some not so good news... & Coffee with a Canine!

Good news?  Tessa arrived safely at my house at 6pm Saturday evening! 


Not-so-good news?  She didn't like me very much... so she went to stay with Heather and Emmett instead. She ended up being much smaller than we were expecting.  Mom was told she was about 50lbs and she ended up being about 25-30lbs.  So I think I scared her a little bit because I'm large and was very excited to meet her.  Plus, she had been bred a lot, so I don't think I was her favorite dog because I was a dude.  Emmett can be a little calmer than me, so after a few minutes, they got along well.  Mom went to spend some time with her last night because she's absolutely in love with her and said she's soooo timid and scared, but warmed up to my mom really quickly.  We're hoping to give her some time to adjust and maybe she can come stay at my house after all.  But we'll see.  Right now we're just concerned with her getting settled and adjusting and learning that life will be wonderful from now on. 

Then, I was going to have ANOTHER foster sister!  So I got really excited to meet her! They named her Evelyn after one of the teenage volunteers that helps out Homeward Bound every clinic.  She's really a wonderful kid and she loves me and gives me treats when she sees me, so I love her right back!  Mom and Heather went to pick her up from a vets office last night. 

Go figure.

She didn't like me either... she bit my cheek and I was really scared.  She also didn't like Emmett, which was a little weird, because EVERY dog loves Emmett.  But, it was what it was.  So she also stayed at Heathers house last night and she will be returning to the vets office this afternoon because mom doesn't have an open  foster home that doesn't have male dogs or doesn't have any dogs at all.  But she will still be listed as a guest dog on the Homeward Bound site and she will also be going to their clinics, so they will definitely help her find a wonderful furever home!  Mom said she really is a sweet sweet dog, but she just needs a LOT of help with interaction with male dogs.  Poor girl. 

Aside from all the rejection I got from the ladies this weekend, my friend, Miss. Jamie, came over to take my picture yesterday!!!  I won't show you them all today (well, there were over 800!).  But Emmett came over too, so there were some fun shots!  This is one of my favorites.


Hope you guys had a great weekend! 
Later dudes!

OH!  And Mom & I are featured over at Coffee with a Canine!  Go check us out!!!!!

  5. Two girly rejects in a day is too much.. but probably these two girls just needed more time to adjust to a new home. Don't worry Corbin. I am sure they will love you when they get to know you. I do know Maggie Mae loves you... and a certain Puddles Duddles have the hots for you or is it the other way around? hehehe..

    love the shot of both you with Emmett.

  8. I am glad Sissy made it there safely. Too bad she cannot stay with you right now. She just needs to learn that there are nice guys out there. And don't worry there are plenty of ladies out there that like you.

  9. Awwh Corbin! Us rescue girls and boy dawgs often have a hard time adjusting to new places....I guess since many of thems have had such a rough go of life before.

    I am still a little....actually big....skeeredy cat about most things. I'm much better than before, butt it has taken me a long time! I hope it works out fur you and your foster sissie.

  11. Corbin, I wouldn't worry too much about those girlies not liking you much. They come from a troubled past so it will just take them some time. We foster doggies too and sometimes it works and sometimes it just doesn't. I try not to take it personally!

    Hugs and Licks, Bruschi

  15. Too bad about those silly girls that don't like you! I know Maggie Mae LOVES you and she's a girl. I guess the two fosters weren't as socialized as Maggie is.

  20. Corbin, I'm sorry things didn't exactly get off on the right paw with Tessa. But she's prolly all wackadoo right now with everything that's going on in her life. Maybe the next time you meet, you could just take a nice long walk together. I remember when I first gots adopted, I was really really skeered, too. And taking a looooong relaxing walk with Brudder Ranger really helped soothe my nerves. My paws are crossed that she'll be chilling out with you soon!

    I just got finished reading your "Coffee with a Canine"! Did you know I did that, too? I really liked your article but I just almost fell over to see why your first humans gave you up! That's just about the ker-aziest thing I ever heard. I think the real reason is cuz you are just SOOOO handsome that looking at you made 'em feel bad abouts themselves. Humans can be an awfully jealous lot, for sure.

  25. I can't imagine anybody not liking you, Corbin, but I'm guessing that those girls have been through a lot. I'll bet they'll come around!

  26. Wowzers. Things are certainly busy around your place. It's too bad the new gals can't see what we see inside you. They'll come around. I promise.

  27. I'm sure those sweet girls will find their furever homes. It's really wonderful of your mommy and you to be helping out :)

  29. It's always a mystery about why some dogs don't like other dogs, or even get along so well.

  30. Corbin dude! How could she not like you! Did you forget your bath?:) She probably just needs a little time to adjust and was taken back by all your handsomeness. She's fallen for ya dude. I know it!

  31. I'm sorry things didn't go so well with Evelyn and Tessa. I don't get how anyone could not like you, Corbin.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I guess you need to understand them, right?
    They have had a hard life and need to adjust to a pawesome new time!
    Just give them some time and I hope everything will be ok!
    Take care

  33. Can't believe they didn't like you......boy, do they need some work. Don't take it to heart. Hopefully, they'll get the right care and learn what a terrific guy you are.

  34. Hey! I think it is good that mom remembered that you come first. I had a foster sister once who terrified me and so she had to go. After all, it is YOUR house, right?

  35. Corbin,

    I'm so sorry you got rejected so much this weekend. I would never reject you and I'm a girl dog. Hopefully Tessa calms down and realizes that you're a safe dude.

    Good luck.

  36. Oh, Corbin, we're sorry about the ladies, dude. Hopefully Tessa will relax soon and Emmett will tell her what a nice guy you are and she'll want to spend more time with you :)

    Going over to read about you on Coffee . . .

  39. Oh, Corbin, I can't imagine anyone not liking you! But I guess a very shy girl might be intimidated by your pawsome masculine pawlchritude. It is their loss and I'm sure things will work out eventually if you really want a sister.

    lotsa licks, Lola

  40. Hi Corbin - thanks for coming over to visit me and leaving me a lovely comment! I love making new friends! And my human has a soft spot for Pit Bulls - she thinks that that you are such lovely doggies and it's so unfair that people say such nasty things about you. Pit Bulls are completely banned in Aus & NZ where we live.

    Hey - am sorry those girl doggies didn't like you - if I met you, I'm sure I would like you lots! I know what it's like being a big doggie and having other doggies scared of you, even when you are being friendly! :-)

    Slobbers,

  41. I wonders why your new foster sister didn't likes you? I'm sure dat I woulds love you! Maybe she justs needs a little bit of times to warm up to you. Sometimes it's scary to go to new places.

  43. Them girl doggies must be crazy not to like you Corbin. But they might have been hurt by boy doggies so please don't be mad at them.

    Mommy loved your interview.

    Blessing to you & you family on this very special day.
