Clarence

Clarence, now called Eli, waited patiently for a very long time to find his forever home. But now that he did, it seems all that waiting paid off & he's doing wonderfully in his new home! His new dad sent us this update: "He is fine. Eileen has decided to call him Eli because she said Clarence reminded her of Clarence Thomas who she is not a fan of, and wanted an "E" name to commemorate the previous dog Erik. He knows his new name. He sleeps on the bed with us and will let me sit next to him on the couch. Previously he would not go on walks with me unless Eileen went too. When I took his leash he laid flat on the sidewalk. Yesterday we took Laila and Eli and he let me hold his leash on the walk but did not want to go for a ride in my car without Eileen. He likes going in the car with Eileen. So he's getting better about me but likes Eileen better so far. He really like a friend of Eileen's and jumps on her lap when she visits. He would not take the heartworm pill even when we tried various enticements of cream cheese, peanut butter etc and it was getting slimy and disintegrating so I gave him a Heartguard chewable crumbled up and sprinkled on his food instead and he ate that so I guess that will be his brand for now until we run out of them. Laila is mostly nice to him but if she gets upstairs to bed first she tries to intimidate him from coming in the room but he is faster than her so usually he beats her upstairs. He has not destroyed anything at the house and likes the dog door. He has hunted rabbits in the yard but has not got any yet."
