Introduction, February 27, 2014
Lukas is an owner surrender who has been a welcome addition to our puggie clan. Lukas is very affectionate and prefers to be curled up on your lap or at your feet. He's a large pug; he's tall and long, about twice the size of a regular pug. He has a beautiful healthy soft coat with copper highlights. He has some dry patches on his underbelly, but with any luck, the grain free food will give him some relief.
Lukas is a bright boy. He responds well to direction and is eager to please. He did well at the off leash park and never ventured far from my side. Lukas is getting along well with the other pugs and engaged his foster sister in play yesterday. He's also been a good sport about her "borrowing" his toys. He was a great passenger in the car. He whimpered for the first couple of minutes, but quickly settled down to sleep for the rest of the ride. I heard no complaints at all on a recent outing.
Lukas seems to be a one person dog. He has been my constant shadow since his arrival. He engages with others, but keeps a close eye on me. He is ill at ease when I leave the house, but hopefully he'll get more comfortable over time. Lukas has manners. For example, he'll be persistent in asking to come up on your lap, but he'll wait for the OK before hoping up. He also won't try to get your food if you're munching while watching TV.
Lukas has a vet visit scheduled for Friday. He looks like he could afford to put on a few pounds, but we'll see what the vet says. His house training is good. He had one accident the first night, but that's to be expected. He hasn't learned how to ask to go out yet, but given the opportunity, he's quite good. I have two old incontinent male seniors and in spite of the pee pads around for their use, Lukas is not tempted.
Lukas is a bundle of love. He's got a lot to give.
