Flipper Tales

Flipper continues to adjust to the routine here. Beacon and Haven continue to keep to themselves. They will all sleep in the same room, fairly close to each other but that's about it. Flipper still would rather hang out with humans than other dogs. I wonder if he hasn't gotten much human interaction and attention. He was brought into the Shelter the end of May. Vicky took him in the end of June and since then he basically has been recovering from surgery.

Yesterday Andrew took Beacon and Haven for a run in the rain. I stayed home with Flipper. We played fetch in the backyard. He does really well chasing after a ball and bringing it back.

Earlier in the day his surgery spot hit the grass as he was fetching and he yelped. It must be a little sore still. And maybe that's why he's not into playing with Beacon and Haven. Maybe he knows that he's still a little sore and he's smaller than the other dogs in the house.

For some reason today Flipper has developed a "fear" of coming down the hallway from the computer room to the rest of the house. He didn't have issues yesterday. He acts like he's nervous about something, similar to Haven not wanting to pass by grates. He'll look and get low and then sprint down the hallway and he's fine. But he doesn't have any problems going down the hall back to the computer room!
