Dandy's relaxing afternoon

We took Lilo to her new mom yesterday, yeah for them!!  Then once we were home had a nice relaxing time hanging out with Dandy on the deck. It wasn't the nicest day but, Dandy was game with getting lots of loves and pets. Dandy is a very gentle soul who struggles more frequent than not, with feeling that it's ok to seek out and receive attention. A lot of our work with Dandy is letting him know that he is an important being who we want to give positive attention to. We do this with treats, lots of talking to him and tons of touch/petting. Dandy has responded well in the months we have fostered him and we are continuing to look into and try different things in working with him.

Dandy doesn't do well with people getting to close to his face, so we let him initiate it move away based on what he feels comfortable with

He needed a break from being too close & that's ok, he still gets pets & us talking to him telling him what a good boy he is.

Feeling relaxed

relaxed but curious about the crows

He's able to give another go at looking face to face with me - what a good boy!
