Lindsay asked for an update a while back on Toby, so I thought I'd give you a quick update. About a week ago, we called Deb, Toby's foster "mom", and told her that we wouldn't be able to take him back. Jamie was up for the challenge of civilizing him, but I wasn't. Between the Scotland trip, a friend's wedding, and several races that Jamie's running in, we'll be gone half the weekends between now and the end of June. Not a whole lot of time to train a dog to like other people. It was a hard decision, though. It felt like another loss.
So Hunter's back to being the solo canis in the house. With all this leaving that's been going on, I think he's a little unsure of his own status in the Kidd household. He was pretty darn clingy last weekend at Mom and Dad's house. The offer still stands if anyone wants to come visit and give him some company.
As far as another buddy goes, I think we're going to wait until after the Scotland trip and look for another friendly black lab. :)
