When we drove up to the shelter 2 towns away from us, there were firetrucks there. All the workers were outside. They told us they were closed and my jaw dropped. Then they found out we were there from rescue to pick up the Siberian, and they rushed back in to get the paperwork. Cedric and Sasha checked each other out, and she allowed him to rest his nose on her shoulder without upset.
Cedric rode well in the car, even though the worker who loaded him in said he was not a fan of crates and that's where he rode. He is thin and has a chronic ear infection, but they say no hearing loss, so hopefully with treatment and good food it will clear up. He is thin. His coat is fairly short; I can't tell if he was shaved at one time or what. His mouth is soft and gentle as he takes treats from your hand; it feels like a nice horse mouthing your hand! He was not disturbed by the vacuum cleaner, and he is making good friends with DH.
Must go put some Frontline on the boy now. More news later.

Every time I see Cedric, I think of Cedric the Entertainer.

Cedric
Congratulations Misha!.....I know Tuesday can't come soon enough for you. Cedric (as in the Entertainer) sounds good. Practice screaming it out the back door and see if you like the way it sounds coming outta your mouth....I've told this to all my friends who were trying to name children (whether they be human kids or furkids). You might have to look him in the eyes first to discern what his name should be.
You mentioned cats being royalty and stretching out 3 times their length....Napster gets up on the back of the couch and straddles it and hangs his head over the edge....looks like a cat skin rug.....as if he's boneless.
As for getting lost, go on Google and type in Mapquest.....you can get directions from your front door the pickup destination and print them out. I can't wait to hear the update!

Cedric's first trip to the dog park
We had no idea how Cedric would do at the dog park, but his play with Sasha in our own backyard has been quite boisterous, and I wanted him to try playing with younger dogs. We brought him in and all he wanted to do was smell the fragrances around the gate. He looked alarmed to see other dogs roaming around. We could not coax him away from the gate, and finally DH leashed him up and walked him all around the inside perimeter and ended up on the far side. At this point he started cautiously sniffing actual dogs, and before long he was willing to romp a little as long as it was just one dog at a time. He did a little running and was having a great time, even when just watching a big pack of dogs running. You could see how he was learning all about interacting with dogs and playing with balls. At the very end it occurred to him there were also people to meet, but it was getting dark and Sasha wanted to walk the park path, so we did that. Cedric liked that too, but at first when he saw the tennis players whacking stuff with rackets, it confused him.
Then we got some food and gave the dogs their tiny bites, which is always a treat for them.
When we got home, Cedric climbed all over DH to show his appreciation, and today he has been lying at his feet. Plus, he has a new appreciation for a tennis ball we have, and when he got up on the couch with me, he chewed on that instead of me.
A very good activity for Cedric.
Sounds like Cedric is in a loving foster home!
Where do you live - that path looks gorgeous!
I love him.What a character Cedric is already. My lab/dane mix is Walter - such a kick. Congrats! nm
