Ike
is doing just great and so are we. We have settled in
to a bit of a routine in the mornings. He still LOVES
his walks and gets to meet lots of other dogs and
also gets a few pets from people too. He now knows to
sit so I can put the harness on him and when we get
back and take the harness off, he runs into the
kitchen and sits patiently for his
treat.
Last
night he lost his carrot under the oven and came to
me and then went back to the oven - back and forth -
until I finally looked under the stove to see what
the fuss was about and saw his
carrot!
He
is a total pro on the subway - no problem at all. We
figured he'd be okay since cars, trucks, buses and
streetcars don't seem to phase him at
all.
There
has been no marking or accidents in the house. He
sleeps through the night on the bed I made him. We
are reinforcing all his good behaviour with treats -
carrots and liver treats.
We
are starting obedience class in June - already he is
pretty good, but there is always room for inprovement
- like coming when called even though there was a
loud bang off in the distance - and it will be good
for me too!
We
have also done lots of visiting and he has gotten to
meet lots of people.
All
our neighbours love him and keep saying it looks like
he has always been with us.
Right
now he is culred up on my lap
sleeping.
We
have just been so lucky with Ike and just love him so
much already.
Thanks
again for everything and hopefully we'll see you in
September.
Anne,
Noel and Ike
