Forever Home Update May 30, 2020 We had a bit of a rough night. He had a hard time settling and did some barking. Just a lot of changes for such a little pup. I think a lot of it was he would sleep for a couple of hours and then didn’t know where he was. As soon as I pet him and told him it was ok he’d go back to sleep. I think we may have lots of naps today. Tara June 3, 2020 He is a good boy. He’s not that fond of Paul but I think it’s his walker. We are are working with him to be more comfortable. There are also some little treats involved. Yesterday’s big excitement was a painted turtle in the front yard—such a goof. Have a good day! Tara June 13, 2020 Thought I’d send you a picture. This is his favorite bed. My cousin and his family came and took a bunch of our furniture to make room for our new furniture. He had a lot of supervision and is now exhausted. He’s is getting adjusted. His goofy little personality is coming through. He and Daisy are getting along well. Have a good weekend. Tara June 29, 2020 Reuben had his bubble bath and haircut today!! He looks pretty handsome. He’s doing well. We are still working on the marking. We introduced him to a special friend of ours who has not left her house since March. She fell in love. Plus it was her birthday. Just a little update. I hope you got the video I sent. He was being such a good boy. Tara July 14, 2020 Our silly boy is taking a rest after chasing the geese away!! It’s his new job. He’s doing pretty well. He is getting a handle on our routine. The one weird thing is he sleeps in our bedroom closet at night. We have put a comfy bed and fleece in there for him. He seems happy so it’s ok with us. Take care. Tara August 13, 2020 I realized I hadn’t sent you a picture lately! He’s doing well. Still not a big fan of my husband. We’re making progress though. He doesn’t bark at Paul anymore and he’ll take treats from him. Anything else not so much. He walks perfectly on the leash. In fact I’m not going fast enough he stops and waits for me! He and Daisy are getting along great. Daisy wants so bad for him to play but he really isn’t interested. I think that’ll change though. Hope you have a good weekend. Love from Reuben October 17, 2020 I don’t know if you can see him among his toys. This is his favorite bed. There is a little heat given off from the pilot and he loves it. He has become a lover of walks. If I don’t keep up with him he stops and gives me a look like hurry up. In fact he walks our entire street twice a day. He’s still nervous around people. We’re working on that. Next Friday our holistic vet, Anne, is coming. I want her to put her eyes on him and se if she has any suggestions. We are loving this little soul. Thanks for letting him be part of our family. Tara December 26, 2020 Wanted to get this to you before Christmas. Reuben is with he favorite toy the pink piggy. He loves to squeak it. He’s doing well. He’s such a goof! Loves his walkies even in this cold weather. Happy New Year. Tara, Paul, Reuben and Daisy January 17,2021 Reuben here! I’m so happy. I get lots of walkies THAT I ❤️ and mama will pick me up and put me in her coat when I get cold. I’m also being very brave. I’m not nervous around daddy anymore or his walker. I’ve even started going on the porch potty when he wants me too. My favorite toy is my pink pig and my bones. Mama bought me a dog house. It’s toasty warm. I still sleep in the closet at night but I have a wonderful bed and lots of fleece. Whenever I get groomed I get to pick out a new toy. Sometimes I share with Daisy. She wants to play but I like to play by myself. She likes to talk and is very loud. I love her anyway. Love, Reuben February 3, 2021 Hi!! I have the best news to share--Reuben loves his toys and regularly plays with them. He has no interest in playing with Daisy though. However...Sunday he came up to me and wanted to play. I rough housed with him, a little, he ran zoomies and wanted to play with the toys. I can't begin to tell you how happy I was. He is such a special pup. Tara April 20, 2021 Took this picture today. Reuben usually doesn’t like to share his bed but I guess it’s ok today. He still loves his walkies—when he wants to go on one he stands by the laundry room door. He doesn’t always get that may be cold or wet. He’s such a goober. I tried to send you a video of him playing with 18” long squeaky snakes. It wouldn’t go through. Anyway, have a good day 😊. Tara June 2, 2021 Reuben had his one year with us vet checkup. He’s doing well. Unfortunately he is starting to take meds for his heart murmur. We new that would happen. I wish he was better at pills though 😆. Just thought I’d give you the update. Reuben sends lots of hugs and kisses. Tara
