Opie pictures

for Renee and all the other Opie fans here... it's hard not to be an Opie fan.

Sitting pretty for treat...




Blink!




Drooly face..

Moving..




Jumping up - WOW is he agile




Zooooooomies...

I love the last picture of him running, lol.

He is SO FREAKING GORGEOUS . . . . . just an incredibly beautiful animal.

good looking guy!

want. a lot.

could take walks at night. want.

He is, Renee. *sigh*

PDub, as far as we know he's fear-aggressive. He seems to have some protective instincts, but I'm not entirely sure I'd say you're safe when he's with you. I'd have to see him in a home environment first.

Yeah, he was returned last weekend for "biting the husband, a relative who came to visit, the son, he doesn't like his collar touched, and he's protective."

I think they might have expected too much from him too soon.

Sounds to me like Opie's had a really BAD experience with men sometime . . . They really need to educate themselves on screening for different breeds if they're going to refuse to let breed rescues assist

I'd love to work with you guys with Opie. Bet we'd have him confident and on the road to being a self-assured, social beast.

The key is his self-confidence, and that's where getting out and being social in non-threatening places with someone he trusts can be key.

Why don't you two PM Doc and talk to her about Opie and get her input?

Yeah, I do think he's got some issues with men. Also, what do most people do when a dog is bad? They say "NO!" and that word sends Opie into panic mode, unfortunately.

I want a dog that looks intimidating more than a dog that is actually going to do something. I carry mace for that, lol.
Besides, my mom would flip sh!t if I brought another dog home right now. I just have to hold out until she leaves. *crosses fingers it's by January*

I guess it's a good thing FOHA won't allow out-of-state adoptions, because I think I'd be selling a kidney to get him.

We can tell them lies, tell them sweet little lies . . . .

(No, Sweet, I wouldn't put you in that kind of spot.)

What about Amber? I bet we could put her in that position. (kidding... lol)
