In a first for Owen, he sat on someone's lap! This is pretty big as he's never done this with anyone, including me. Even bigger because for months Owen was scared of his brother Raymond but really wanted to be friends. Owen would put back his ears, tuck his tail and inch his way close to Raymond for pets. For his part, Raymond just wanted to give Owen whatever attention he wanted.
Now Owen can't get enough of Raymond, and this video shows exactly that.

Bisquit is a rescue and was adopted from the Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) by his new family in early 2020 before the pandemic hit us. Bisquit arrived at the WHS badly injured from burns on his back. His burns have healed but his fur will never grow back in spots.
Bisquit was very untrained when we adopted him and we have worked hard to learn his language as well as teach him ours. We continue training with him constantly to teach him new things.
Owen is also from the Winnipeg Humane Society. Owen was found by a rescue organization in Northern Manitoba with two broken hips at the age of two months old from being hit by a car.
Owen had been staying with a foster in Winnipeg for the last six months while he has had surgeries and recovery. Owen has had FHO on both sides. FHO is short for Femoral Head Ostectomy which is where the head of the femur, what looks like a ball that fits into the hip socket, is removed. The muscles of the leg first hold the femur in place and over time scar tissue will form to create something of a false joint. This gives the dog pain free mobility.
Being young, eight months old at adoption time, there is a lot to learn for Owen, hopefully his big brother Bisquit can help show him some tricks.
