Also, through happenstance, Hachi is no longer very afraid of my bike. Sometimes I see him and the Runner out on the trails when our routes cross. Hachi is happy to see me, and he runs over to say hi or even to run along side my bike. It's happened close to ten times now, and I see very little sign of worry about my bike in him now. Sometimes, things can improve without a lot of hard work!
A year ago, we were in that wonderful warm place called the desert. Hachi is not a cold-weather dog. He has a thin coat, and he absolutely loves basking in the warm sun. I'd been looking forward to taking the improved Hachi there this spring. By "improved", I mean that he is usually happy to meet new people as long as they act friendly, which would have made traveling far more relaxed for him. Ah well - maybe he'll get that chance in the fall.
This is one of my favorite photos of him, taken last April.
that are super news and they make a good start into a new week.. with a smile ;O)
ReplyDeleteHe might well be saying " Let's live here always ", a real sun lover, and his coat glows,

It's wonderful that Hachi has made some great strides. He's a lucky pup to be with you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear this! Luca was on Paxil, then the dose was increased and he got worse. Now he is off the Paxil and more relaxed with strange people, not clear yet regarding strange dogs. Still in assessment mode.
ReplyDeleteHe's one gorgeous dog! Your pictures are great too and I'm glad to hear that Hachi is doing well. You have put in so much work and I always think of how lucky he is to have met up with you.
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad to read about a happy Hachi, it makes all of us smile!
ReplyDeleteYay, Hachi! What a gorgeous warm photo of you in the desert!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet image of your dear boy. I've learned these rescued pups are a lifetime commitment of working with him. And you're doing an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteHachi is a very photogenic pup. I'm glad all is well.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the pups. ♥
We always love hearing how Hachi is faring!! Seems like all our 2020 travel plans for the Spring and Summer have been quashed...Here's hoping for some Fall fun!
ReplyDeleteHe's happy, and seems to be behaving well...so just enjoy.
ReplyDeleteA good week is a great sign. And oh yes, that photo is just so special.
