I made sure I got out of bed earlier today so as to allow the terriers their morning romp in their fenced in yard and hopefully avoid spooking Teddy again. It all worked out as they completed their "business" and came in for breakfast. As they ate their breakfast, I prepared Teddy's, naturally thinking about how it might be for him one day to be served a meal in a real home. After placing kibble and canned food on a plate and packing my pockets with good treats I headed up the back yard to Teddy's dining area. After placing his plate inside the ever growing "hut" I then offered him a trail of treats across the yard toward our house. My hope here is to get him secure in approaching the fence/house and who knows maybe myself OR maybe one day luring him inside the fence. Again....ANYTHING to try and save him. He is just so wary. He arrived at his "usual" time (later than yesterday) and proceeded to "work" the trail of goodies first before returning to lick his breakfast plate clean. I quietly stood on our balcony and attempted some snap shots, which I've posted. I apologize for the lack of clarity as the distance was great and my excitement as always at seeing him was evident. After cleaning his plate he always seems to turn and look toward the house, naturally I froze so as not to scare him. He then turned and began his ascension up the mountain side, albeit slowly and apparently without fear, so that is good-he had no fear as he completed his meal and had some reprieve from running. One day...hopefully.....
