Thanks all
FLint is a mutt, believed to be an Aussie mix. HE was found along the FLint river near the Tallahasse/Georgia border. THey had to use a live trap to get him. He was terrified of people and would cower and shut down. Not an aggressive bone in his body though. I was looking through craigslist to see what dogs are int he area and to learn about them for summer plans to adopt a second dog. Long story short, I watched him be posted for two months and then he was listed as urgent. They had him for six months and he would hide any time someone went to look at him. I offered to foster him and then drove three hours to pick him up. He wouldn't even eat with us in sight, especially with my husband in sight, for over a month. He was terrified of men. He also didn't trust doorways. Luckly our lab figured out very quickly how to herd Flint back into the house when we called for him. IN the end Midnight (lab mix) and Flint had such a strong bond and we didn't know if Flint could adjust to a new home, so he has stayed with us. He now sometimes greets people and will come when called most times. If he goes out the front door, he is very easy to get to go back in the house. He's a big cuddler now and loves to get tummy rubs. He doesn't mind the other ferts, but he really hit it off with noodles the first day. I'm thrilled they get alone so well. Midnight one the other hand is afraid of the ferts. Too funny to watch a two pound fert (usually Podo) chase a 75 pound lab around the house.
I had to get a pic of the pig nose. I have no idea how he managed to sleep like that. Of course, I usually think that with the positions they sleep in.
