Hi!!!! And thank you for the welcome!

I did sign up for an account, WaanJaiAndMommy, but may have done something wrong as I wasn't able to sign in.

I am not exactly sure of when his arrival date is yet, but it is supposed to be at the end of October. He will be flying with a flight volunteer as well as another doggie, so he won't be alone for his travels, which I am so thankful for. The thought of him being so young, and flying alone for so many hours had me anxious and I was relieved to learn that Soi Dog had been able to make these arrangements for him.

LOL, I definitely feel like a nervous new parent, even though I already have 2 other dogs, also both rescues, he is a new baby for our house so I have already been doing lots of doggie present shopping.

I have chosen the name Waan Jai for him, (Sweetheart in Thai, I figured it would be an easy name for others to pronounce and it literally speaks of what he will be to me..... my sweetheart) he is 5 months old, and he is also missing his tail. I know with cats that alot of their balance comes from their tail, is this also true for dogs?

Thank you so much on the tips of different information to read. I really want to do right by him and I realize that with him being a tripod, I have a lot to learn..... and it is a little scary/overwhelming, but I know we will be fine. From the moment I saw him, I thought he was adorable, and I wanted him, but I did want Soi Dog to make sure we were the right family for him - I have kids, other pets, and wanted a dog that I could have with me as my constant companion, not just at home, but when I am at work as well, so when they told me they thought we would be a good fit, I was so happy, I cried with joy. And then I realized I have a lot to learn. Which is why I am here.

I am going to read the recommended reading that you gave me, and if anyone has any more tips or knowledge to share, I am very open to learning everything I can.

Again, thank you so much for the warm welcome and we will keep you updated on his journey

Hi everyone!!! I apologize for the delay in response, have been in the middle of a very large, chaos filled move, and getting ready for Waan Jai's arrival.....drum roll please......in less than 41 hours!

I've been reading everything humanly possible about tri-pods and building their core and how to tri-pod safe the house. I've picked up a set of carpeted stairs to help him get up into bed with me, harnesses, collars, leashes, every kind of toy and treat possible, oh my gosh, and everything else under the sun. Although the stores I went to were out of elevated bowls, so I'm going to try to find a Wal-Mart tomorrow in hopes they will have one.

I've prepared the best I could, even managed to find a vet here in Atlanta that does house calls AND she herself has a tri-pod, which was important to me as she has real life knowledge of what it's like for a tri-pod, compared to a vet who doesn't.

I've set him up for a date with the groomers, who I interviewed first, as well as a day at a doggie day camp, once he's comfortable with us.

I think when I set up an account here, I screwed up the email account, so I've set up a new email, as well as his own Facebook page if you'd like to befriend him and follow his new journey. Its Waan Jai Remington or WaanJaiAndMommy@Gmail.com

Again, thank you so much for the warm welcome and tips, they've been very much appreciated!
Warmest regards,
Waan Jai and Mommy
