Keno Update

From Auntie M:

Keno was better this weekend and has only coughed a couple times. He'll be staying at least 5-7 more days in ISO from when symptoms completely stop.

Keno is fascinated by the fish and tried to grab one today.. oops! Glass in way? He also keeps going into the cat room. Stole a stuffie off a jar on the counter when he thought no one was looking, climbed on the bench seats under the fish to get closer look. So generally behaved in your presence, but we suspect a sneaky streak? Ears and tail are up most of the time and he seems more comfortable and getting more adventurous.

Keno will pick up an occasional toy and just carry it around a little. Same with a ball, but he did run after one a few times. Overall he just doesnt seem very toy oriented? Definitely a pocket hound who will chew at pockets if he thinks there are treats. He is still smoochy and loves to be rubbed on endlessly, curling around you like a cat?

Although he is generally mindful of voice, Keno doesnt seem to know any real commands other than come or no. So I will dig out an old clicker and see how that goes. He does pretty well on a leash, but I suspect that may be less training and more people oriented even if he obviously knows about leashes.

Keno's a nice boy.

I weigh apprx. 74 pounds and am between 14 and 18 months old. I'm still a baby! I'm still having that nasty kennel cough but my lungs are clear, and I have a few worms! YUCK. No worries I'm on meds now for awhile and still stuck in isolation which I'm starting to get really ancy about! I got neutered too. Other than all that, I think I'm in good shape and everyone at the clinic likes me ;)

So turns out my stay in Austin wasn't too long after all. Ms. D came to see me and she brought a whole crew with her. I had pictures taken of me, lots of hugs, and petting. I got lots of compliments of what a good looking dog I am too :) Next thing you know I'm Houston bound. Ok I'll have to confess; looks like I'm going to rehab. Not because of my gambling which I don't do!...I told everyone how I was named Keno! Anyways I'm sick. I have kennel cough. Most likely from those hooligans I was in jail with. Get to rehab and looks like I'm going to be bunking with cats! The jury is still out if I like those critters or not...

Austin?

So here I am in Austin. Can you tell in my face I'm so excited? They took me in this house where I thought it was going to be my new digs and then took me right back outside the backdoor where they stuck me in this big pen. Geez, jail memories all over again. There's these dude dogs looking at me too. There's one named Seamus and he's got attitude. I didn't need to see his teeth. Malcolm the other dude wasn't too bad. There's these other 2 inside too named T-Bone and Roadhouse; oops I mean Roadside who claims she can pull over 900lbs. Yeah right. They're calling this like a halfway house? Halfway to my supposed new digs... See pics of me here.

Well after Ms. D broke me out of jail, we loaded up in her car and headed to the big city of Dallas. Ms. D had her main squeeze with her too, Mr. Sandy so it was a fun ride. I couldn't stop giving everyone kisses for breaking me out. I was so excited. They don't realize how bad that place was and the food worse! I relaxed and got to sightsee along the way. We ended up at Mr. Sandy's house where they put me in his garage for the night. Now that I wasn't too happy about but they told me it was for my own good that I am officially in "Isolation" now for 10 days because I was in a shelter. Now they have "Isolation" in jail too you know! It's called Solitary confinement!! But the garage was different than jail and the food was much better. Ms. D said it was only for one night and that we will go on another road trip tomorrow to Austin where I could be in a nice dog pen for the rest of my isolation. Austin? Wait a minute...there's no Cowboy Cheerleaders there though. All bets are off! I want to stay in Dallas and meet the cheerleaders. Mr. Sandy then told me about the UT Cheerleaders. He said they're just as cute. I asked him if he wanted to bet on it?

Jackpot!

I've been sitting in jail for a week. Not sure why I'm here but they picked me up for being a stray. They named me Keno and I'm not sure why either. Maybe all these hooligans around here are gamblers or something. Next cell over to me is Poker and the dog across from me is Ace. Then Saturday came and I think I like gambling now because I hit the JACKPOT! A pretty lady from Dallas named Ms. D came and got me. Just like that, she showed up asking for me. She was a little worried about me at first because I was a bully to a couple of my cellmates. Hey what can I say, they lost some bets and wouldn't pay up? Ok I'm joking there a little. Anyways she loaded me up and told me we were going to Dallas. Woo Hoo! Maybe I can meet some of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders?
