[QUOTE="Shari, post: 156211, member: 1848"] Yup, that's her. And yup, I think you're right. I don't think she's going anywhere, either. :slap:I gave up and we've started nightly training sessions after she puts difficult child to bed. She's quick, tho, gotta give her credit. Her fetching skills are iffy right now (which difficult child loves to play with dogs), but I think we'll even get to that. She seems to enjoy doing what she's asked, once she understands it. She adores difficult child, they wrestle and chase, she comes when [I]he[/I] calls her(that's a gold mine, right there), he takes her along anywhere we let him. He takes her to the kennel when we leave for work/school and as soon as we get home, rain or shine, he runs to the kennel to get her out. At bedtime, she assumes her position at the end of his bed and rarely gets out of bed until he does, even when he sleeps in. She adores difficult child and hangs close to him most of the time, but she's equally content laying around the yard chewing on whatever delicious tidbits she can scrounge up. She doesn't chase the chickens, but she does like to "go bowling" (lion king - "bowling for buzzards", she is the third dog we've had that does this without actually pursuing the chickens...) She's learning some basic obedience as well as a couple stupid doggie tricks, cause difficult child thinks those are the best (under "normal" circumstances, those would come MUCH later...), and the house training is coming along. We had found another dog to look at, a cattle dog type that was a fetching machine, but the place backed out on letting us have the dog because husband's dog isn't spayed, so I'm pretty sure this little girl will be staying right here. And I've resigned myself to being ok with that. :whiteflag: She loves difficult child, and that was the whole point. :cool_dog: [/QUOTE]
