Ashoka is coming along just fine as a member of the family. We are really enjoying him. He's a nice little guy who now knows his name, and can sit and do paw. With that said, he is in need of a trainer, which we will be getting him when he is a bit older.
He is still to be found within the occasional shoe in the mouth, which we quickly replace with the chew toys that he is supposed to gnaw on.
He is especially in love with Tara. When he got a round of shots at the vet recently, he crawled up during the event and settled his nose in the hair behind her ear. He was essentially hiding and seeking solace from Tara all at once. Touching....
Since he is a street dog, there are different considerations about owning him, per the vet. Street dogs never know where their next meal is coming from, or even if there will be one. Thus, they will eat any time they are presented with food. This is a risk, as they can become unhealthy when their street habits encounter the kind of affluence that we will offer to him.
Well, overall we are pleased to have him as part of the gang. Many of you will meet him someday.
