first kiss

I know that for most dogs this would not mean a thing, but for Pacer it's huge.

Pacer is our newest foster dog. He's been with us for close to a month now, after spending a year in the shelter. He's extremely timid, but rapidly coming out of his shell. He spends his nights in our porch for a number of reasons--he has no coat yet and it's bloody cold here, I don't fully trust him with the cats yet and it doesn't matter if he pees in there (although, he hasn't had an accident yet!)

Anyhoo, this morning, I went into the porch to take him outside and he leapt up and starting doing a full body wag--unusual in and of itself as this is not a happy dog. Then as I was giving him his morning lovings, he LICKED me! My first Pacer kiss...actually I think the first kiss Pacer has ever given anyone!
:D :D :D

A Pacer kiss!!!
Sounds like he is loving his new home!!!

Great news!!!!

Awwww... :) Way to go, Pacer!! He's so happy he finally found a good home and is being taken care of... :) Next step, being trusted enough to sleep inside off the porch!!!

I bet you were so happy when he did that, I know I would have been:D
This is just so exciting to hear!!!

How exciting!! Yeah for Pacer. He sure is pretty and it sounds like he likes his new home.

That is so precious. I'm very happy for you and Pacer! It is so fulfilling to win the trust and love of an animal :)

He's one smart pup, that Pacer! He knows a loving, caring, devoted human when he meets one!:) How very special that "first kiss" must have been!!!:)
