               Happy End - 2009...Foxi (Fox)             

The Original Story...   Fox was picked up at the harbour of Valle Gran Rey by a representative of Pro Animal Gomera (PAG) after it had been well established that he was a strange dog in the area and had been fed by locals for days.   Fox is a three to four year old mixed male and looks something like a “Papillon”.  He is a small dog, weighing in at seven kg.  He is presently in foster care and the foster mama has stated that he does not seem to have any problems with strange cats or dogs.  He has had some training and loves human contact.   He will eventually be brought to Germany where we hope to find him a new, loving home.  Needless to say, before he travels, he will have undergone a thorough medical exam, received his required immunizations, been micro-chipped and have an EU Pet Passport.   This might just be the one you have been looking for!

Die Originalgeschichte...   Fox wurde im Hafen von Valle Gran Rey aufgegriffen, nachdem er dort schon einige Tage beobachtet worden war. Es war ein unbekannter Hund. Anwohner der Gegend hatten ihn gefüttert. Er ist ein Spitz-Mischling und ungefähr drei bis vier Jahre alt. Er wiegt nur 7 kg. Er ist jetzt auf einer Pflegestelle und versteht sich gut mit dem Hund und den Katzen der Familie und er benimmt „sich anständig“.   Er war bereits beim Tierarzt, ist entwurmt und entfloht, wird geimpft und erhält auch noch einen Mikrochip.   Wäre dieses kleine Kerlchen etwas für Sie?

From the New Owner...   Hello Mrs Schmidling,   So, Foxi (Fox) is now with us, after a horrible, hot trip ride and naturally, immediately marked everything that he could mark.  Oh well, today is finished.  The little man is pretty tired, but he ate well.  He chases after our cats, but only from curiosity, nothing bad.  They have placed themselves at a safe distance and are watching.   One problem we were able to solve right away…our spiral stairs that lead up to the living room.  He was visited this morning by “Babus” friend and look, he was overcome by curiosity and now he goes up and down with no fear.   He is really a quiet fellow and and wants to be very close to us which makes us very happy.  This morning he saw himself in the closet mirror in the bedroom and was amazed.  He soon found out that it was himself and proceeded to lick the mirror.   Yesterday, he became afraid of our fan that we have going in our bedroom at night because of the heat.  Foxi barked and growled so long until we had no other recourse than to turn this unknown thing off.  After that, everything was ok.   So, that is what’s happening with our little man.   Karin und Rolf B.

Von der neuen Besitzerin...   Hallo Frau Schmidling,   So - Foxi ist bei uns nach einer furchtbar heißen Fahrt und hat natürlich gleich als erstes alles markiert, was zu markieren war. Na ja heute ist es vorbei. Der kleine Mann ist noch ziemlich geschafft...futtert aber schon tüchtig und  ist hinter unsere Katzen her, aber nicht bösartig. Die haben sich erst einmal zurückgezogen und beobachten ihn aus sicherer Entfernung.   Ein Problem haben wir bereits lösen können, unsere Wendeltreppe die zur Wohnung hochführt. Er hatte heute morgen bereits von Babus Freunden einen Besuch erhalten und siehe da, die Neugierde hatte ihn gepackt und jetzt läuft er ohne Angst hoch und runter.   Er ist wirklich ein ruhiger Geselle und sehr anhänglich, was uns unheimlich glücklich macht. Heute morgen sah er sich im Spiegelschrank vom Schlafzimmer und war sehr erstaunt. Hatte aber schnell begriffen, daß er es war und schleckte sein Spiegelbild ab.   Angst hatte er gestern vor unserem Ventilator, den wir wegen der Hitze im Schlafzimmer aufgestellt haben. Foxi hat so lange gebellt und geknurrt, daß uns nichts anderes übrig blieb, als das unbekannte "Wesen" abzustellen. Danach war alles ok.   So, das wars erst einmal von unserem kleinen Mann.   Karin und Rolf B.

Foxi in sein neue Zuhause / in his new home

 

 

And again...   Hello Mrs. Schmidling,   Enclosed are some pictures of "Foxi".  These were shot yesterday by an acquaintance.   Foxi has settled in very well - is clean - and has no more problems with cats.   We take him one time a week to training as the fear - or whatever it is is deep in him, but only on the line.   We are practicing "Heel" - he is not ready for more...We have time.  When Foxi runs free in the dog practice run, he has no problems even with other male dogs.   Today (Saturday) we have "Play Hour".  That means that he can run free (no line)  for one hour in the dog practice run and play with other dogs.  He is then really to wear himself out.   One can barely believe he is there in the house when we are home.  He is so quiet and simply loveable.   He is now insured and reported for the dog tax.   We thank you once more for the fast adoption andd send you greetings from Solingen.   Rolf and Karin B.   (incidently - he gets along splendidly  with our Babuschka and she has fully accepted him).

Und wieder...   Hallo Frau Schmidling,   anbei einige Fotos vom „Foxi“.  Diese wurden gestern bei Bekannten „geschossen“!!   Foxi hat sich ganz gut eingelebt – ist sauber – und mit den Katzen gibt es keine Probleme mehr.   Wir gehen einmal in der Woche zum Training mit ihm, denn die Angst – oder was immer es ist – sitzt noch ziemlich tief. Aber nur an der leine.   Wir üben bei Fuß – mehr ist noch nicht drin – wir haben ja Zeit. Wenn Foxi auf dem Hundeplatz frei rumläuft ist es für ihn kein Problem (auch bei den Rüden)!!   Heute am Samstag haben wir „Spielstunde“, d.h. Foxi darf eine Stunde ohne Leine auf dem Platz mit anderen Hunden spielen. Dann kann er sich so richtig auspowern!!!   In der Wohnung ist er kaum zu spüren – er ist ruhig und einfach nur lieb.   Versichert ist er auch schon – und zur Hundesteuer angemeldet.   Wir bedanken uns nochmals für die schnelle Vermittlung und senden Ihnen herzliche Grüße aus Solingen.   Rolf und Karin B.   (übrigens – mit unserer Babuschka versteht er sich prächtig, sie hat ihn auch voll und ganz akzeptiert)
