Home Sweet Home

                       Pretty sure hes made himself at home.                       
 Sweet Face
 Mommy's Velcro babies, not happy when I put up the gate to do some housework.
Love's the big back yard ... but not noisy motorbikes. That's what they are all staring at.

So as you can see from the pictures he's made himself right at home and we like it that way :) He knows the house rules and routine. Loves his foster sister, brother, his human foster sister and he has captured our hearts as well.. So needless to say, we sign his adoption papers this weekend at the Clarksville M&G. He is home to stay. Who would of known our first foster and our first foster failure all at the same time! ;)

Marlin's first week of retirement

                                         Gets along great with other hounds!
                 Wasn't sure about dog beds at first and was more comfortable with a comforter
                                                                 Happy Hound
                                                            Likes to meet and greet
                                             Likes children, especially his human foster sister.

The two best words to describe "Mar Mar" (the name his human foster sister has given him) are mellow and sweet. He has had no problem adjusting at all. He gets along great with our two resident hounds and our three year old daughter. He crates really well and enjoys stuffies. It's almost like he's already been in a foster home before coming here. Mar doesn't counter surf and a stern no has taught him the house rules. He's very smart and really just doesn't want you to be upset with him so he stays out of trouble.
Everyday brings a new lesson for Mar and yesterday it was the hounds personal space. After stepping on love bug and her "screaming" at him, he quickly came looking for some love from his foster mom for reassurance that he was ok.
Scruffies from his foster parents and his soft bed are probably his favorite things. He enjoys doing zoomies with his foster brother and sister, and even though he loves the big back yard and exploring he'll come when called.
He's a very sweet boy who is content anywhere as long as he's getting loved on :)
