Landau Follows His Nose

Landau is a 14 pound Teddy Rat Terrier. We joke that we should have named him Tank because he is so stocky and solid. Landau came from Delano, CA and had been in an outdoor kennel for a couple of months! I understand this kennel did not have shelter not even a dog house. We are so thankful to Lynn our NR volunteer who finds these dogs in need and then temps them for us until they can get onto the ground transport to make their way to OR and WA foster homes. We are so happy to offer him a safe place to stay while he awaits his forever home where he will make someone a very wonderful and congenial companion. We decided Landau needed to get out even though he had that long transport. So we took him and his fursiblings to get out in the woods and be a dog. He LOVED it. His paws hit the ground and he began seeking and searching for every smell and sight he could find. It was really cute because he was all over the board. Then he would come back and walk by my husband's side for a bit or just come to check in and get a little pet, then out again he would go sniffing, finding trails left by bunnies and just hanging out with the pack.

We love his curly tail, which he wags all the time!

Here he is just walking along for a bit.

Why is that thing always in my face???

Blurry sniffing :)

More blurry fun...

These leaves smell and feel good.

Walking with the pack.

 

We walked about 5 miles and he could have gone more but was quiet as a mouse with his bully stick in his crate on the ride back home.
