Jet

Profile

Jet came to us Sunday night.  His first stop in the Twin Cities was with another foster since we couldn't pick him up until we were back in town.  We are thankful he went to her first because he came with a coat of fleas and she was fantastic as she bathed him and combed him out a few times.  So he was a pretty clean kid when we picked him up.  Jet is a loving, sweet, 5 month-old Golden Retriever/Black Lab mix.  He has the longer feathers, but definately some soft puppy fur to snuggle with which is just what he prefers to do - cuddle.  The first night we put him in the crate and showed us that he has a good set of lungs.  He settled down after a bit and just whimpered here and there.  FM was the one who didn't sleep much just concerned that he was okay.  But he slept really well.  He didn't make a peep in the early morning and was happy to come out and get outside for a bit.  He hasn't had any accidents in the house yet and has already found his place in the yard to do his business.  He gets along great with our resident dog, Sid,  who unfortunately hasn't shown much interest in playing with Jet, but hopefully he'll warm up to him and they can romp in the yard. 

We went to the vet today and he is all up to date now on his vaccinations, including the medicine to get rid of all of the fleas.   He is a tiny 26 pounds and could afford to put on a few more, but he's not too scrawny.  We have him confined to the kitchen with baby gates for now and he is perfectly content as long as Sid, is there to keep him company.  He stretches out like a tadpole when he sleeps on the kitchen floor as you can see in the photo.  It's pretty cute.  He's a really happy, sweet little guy who I am sure will win over more than a few hearts.  We are in the process of setting up an appointment for him to get neutered.  I will update as we get to know this sweet little pup in the next few days.
