Squeaky toys for the dog are fun for a while....but he seems to have developed a fondness for the sound and now he adjusts the fluffy toys until he finds that spot where the little squeaker is buried and could go on for hours.....mean mom has her limits, lol. (he just walked over and put his head on my keyboard, has never done that...do you think he can read??? )
Some how I lost my gentle leader and I looked for days. I finally broke down and bought a new one. (which means I will find the old one right?) The girl at the store asked if I had used one before because she said she is not fond of them. (closer questioning, she has never had anyone explain what they are and how they are fitted, she thought it closed their mouths)...anyway she saw how he thought he was off duty (I can't take credit for this, he just KNOWS when he has that on he is a working dude) until I fit a new one on him and he looked at me, laid at my feet and waited patiently for me to say come and he got up and walked everywhere in the store with me, even to the two cats that live there. He just sniffed then sat nicely waiting. The girl said she had no idea. She changed her opinion. I showed her how you can throw a treat to him from far away and he will open his mouth wide and catch it. There is no limited mobility at least with the kind I buy. I had been taught how to fit it from a vet with a dog I had long ago though. Maybe some people dont know how to make it the right fit and that is what she saw, or maybe she just assumed but all I can say is it is the ticket for us.
I tell you, we have a lot of potential in this puppy. I hope I am a good enough owner to make this even more of a positive thing for Q. If they developed a good enough relationship and he was able to be monitored, I'd love for where ever he lives in the future to be able to have JJ move with him. I can't think that far ahead but it is worth training toward the possibility. (I admit, I'd miss him terribly)
