Forever Home Update December 10, 2021 Hi Jan, Sorry - no pic of Ollie this time. 😊 We were all fading fast about 9:30, did 'Last Call', got everyone on the bed and all crashed! Ollie was on Jeff's legs all night. I got up to do my normal 'potty' routine 2x and no one else moved. Jeff got up to go 'potty' at 7 - no one else moved! The 'morning crew' (Rafa walks up & down Jeff then Duncan starts moving - It's not me! LOL) didn't stir 'til 8! Ollie was all excited so he's now part of the 'morning crew'. Ollie has been wandering all over, totally at ease, chewing on toys, exploring and trying to engage the unsure 'Couch Crew'. He has discovered all things good come from the kitchen. So, if someone is out there, so is Ollie! Have given him a few tiny pellets of the food we feed here. He Loves it! Just taking it easy to protect his digestive system. He discovered the 2 white golden retrievers next door and is not so sure about that. The fact that a police siren was going off in the distance didn't help his unease. The 'Couch Crew' have decided they just are not sure and have taken up their viewing positions from the couch. When they realize he's here to stay, they'll be fine. Will get the notarized contract to you, promise! Our next week is packed with things we put off to do Lego League (last brief meeting tonight!). Between our schedule and that of our 'Notarizer' friend, this time of year is over-booked. Promise we will get it to you! Besides, you know where we live! Ollie is hysterical outside in the snow (need to take my phone out to get a pic with him). He's more interested in licking the dusting of snow on the patio than in peeing. Trust me, he's not thirsty - he has found all 3 large water bowls! Hugs, Jane December 16, 2021 Hi Jan, It took Ollie 1 week to figure out - if Daddy has ice cream, he shares! (That's not why he's gained about 4 ounces!) He also knows 'outside' and even helps corral his brothers out. He heard something on the front porch & ran to the door growling softly. He heard something in the woods last night & growled. We think he has claimed this property & home as his! It is awesome to see! Hugs, Jane December 28, 2021 Hi Jan, Hope you had a great Christmas! Ollie doing extremely well! Met his new vet - positive for all! Ollie rarely has accidents. However, when he does - it's not on a pee pad. He thinks they're toys. 🥺 Luckily he goes on the kitchen tile. We have quit walking out there in the dark on stocking feet! Hugs from All, Jane January 13, 2022 Hi Jan, We finally got Ollie's contract notarized! It'll be in tomorrow's mail. Sorry it took so long - things have been wild here. Here is a pic of one of Ollie's favorite crash sites! Jeff doesn't complain too much. 😊 We were saying that Ollie just seems to blossom more each day! He's so happy & into the routine around here. The joy he brings to everyone is amazing. Thank you for trusting us with him! 💜 Hugs, Jane February 7, 2022 Hi Jan, Hope everyone and everything are well there. Had to send you a pic of Rafa & Ollie - 1st time they deliberately crawled into 1 bed together. They get along great. 2 peas in a pod. Ollie continues to amaze daily. Sometimes not in a good way. Today he just hopped onto a TV tray Jeff mistakenly left in front of a chair. Ollie just stood & looked around. The area under the couch is one of his favorite places to roll his ball & then crawl under to retrieve. Duncan's favorite balls & 'fetch' game are now Ollie's favorite too. Poor Duncan is baffled. It's been a grand and wonderful journey with Ollie so far!! Hugs, Jane
