Meloncollie


We had to give Henry back to the adoption agency after two minor biting incidents. I'm sad about it, but we had no choice.
Henry wasn't very sure of himself (given his background, that isn't surprising) and he and Ellie weren't getting along. She is fairly protective of us and he was very interested in food which turned out to be a very bad combination. When the kids were walking around with food (which they shouldn't do), he would be close behind and Ellie didn't like that. A squabble broke out and Kate got bit on the hip.
We chalked that one up to accident. However, there was another incident where he nipped at Sophie while they were really close together. No harm done, but absolutely unacceptable for a dog to nip anyone in that situation.
I dropped him off this afternoon at the kennel where ARPH will get him fostered again. I wish things had worked out and he has a lot of good qualities. Hopefully, he will not have to wait long to find a forever home.
