I hope things will work our for your new dog and you. He needs some time to adjust and get used to things, and lots of training.
Who knows, maybe he might "fit" in, or he might not. Only time will tell.

Maybe @Southern by choice has some ideas on the new dog. My guess is that part of his current issues relate to the stress of being at the pound and now moving again. No idea how long it would take for him to let go of that.

 

[Southern by choice]

He is just under high stress and high anxiety.
Nervousness is manifesting with the mouthing. The food aggression may not be a true aggression. Again stress. A good month of rountine and acceptance and he should come around and you can see his true nature then.

Hope it works out for you LS. Good of you to try.

Little dog is still with me. He's sleeping right behind me and has calmed down a bit. I'm going to give it some time. This is my first time starting with an adult dog of unknown history. I normally start with puppies and raise them to be what I expect. He'll go for his de-boying procedure Monday. They said drop off between 7:30-8am and pick up ~ 3pm. I do believe though that he's going to be rather hard headed and a training challenge to me because of it. He doesn't comprehend the meaning of "NO!"... He is also "clingy/needy" and likes a lot of attention. I think he'll get past that once he realizes that he's found a home & I'm not going anywhere and neither is he.

Good to have you along on the merry go round @Rammy Hope you don't find the whole thing boring. I don't find my day to day life all that exciting... Please don't feel obligated to forego food and sleep to read it all... It's going to be here and available as you have the inclination to proceed.

So the internet repair guy came and replaced the receiver horn on the antenna. They use a new type now. As is so often the case with electronics, could not duplicate the problem reported, so nothing to "fix"... Well, at least its working right now.

Also received a call back from a tech at Sprint. Every month when I go to pay my bill online, the website doesn't recognize me and forces me to change my password, many times, multiple times per session, before it will let me in. Hopefully, they'll be able to track down what's causing that major hassle. It all started when they "enhanced their security" about 6 months ago.

All the pastures need mowing again Might have something to do with the 2" of rain we recently got.

usually caused by what their security deems a weak password..one that's been blunt force hacked.

Im up to the part where you finally found a home. Im glad you did because I am worn out just reading about all the driving! Looking for a new home is exausting. I look to see whats out there and get tired, let alone driving 10 hours one way. Its interesting reading. Lets me get to know you, as well as other members on here.
I agree with you on your views as to where this country is headed and also want to be more self suffucient. If I could afford it, I would get somewhere where I dont have neighbors breathing down my neck either. Where Im at now, I feel like Im in a fishbowl. No privacy. Course, I have cameras pointed at the creepy neighbors house, but y'all know the reason for that.
I try to read about ten pages a day so shouldnt take me long to get caught up. Im caught up on Werner Homesteads journal! Just thought it would be fun to read everyones journals and postings. I have to be careful when reading @Baymule's postings and drinking something. My computer doesnt like it when I spew Pepsi all over it laughing at something she wrote!
Glad to get to know you and all the many new friends on here.

We feel blessed to have Great neighbors who have all become a second family. We are all a half mile or so apart but it's a good community.

@Latestarter went through quite a process to find his place. It was a lot of work, but so worth it in the end.
