Puppy Update!
Thursday April 26th, 2007 at 5:19 pmWhile I was gone this weekend Sean managed to train Big Boy to ring a bell when he wants to go outside. Its the cutest thing! We now have a big jingle bell tied up next to our sliding glass door and he’ll go right over and ring it with his nose. Now if we could just teach him to only ring it when he wants to go pee, not when he wants to go chew up sticks 
Little girl is catching on slowly. At first she just let big boy handle the bell and run after him. I started holding her back and making her ring the bell herself, and this afternoon she rang the bell without Big Boy around! They’ve also both put on weight after the weekend, I’m sure their dad was feeding them lots and lots of treats. Big Boy is certainly living up to his name at the moment.
In other news, they’ve also started running away. Their brother Rocky and new friend, a chihuahua named Louie, live 2 houses down the street. When they get out front (and usually if they have their collars on for some reason) they take off down the dirt road at full speed to Rocky’s house with Sean and I running and yelling after them (its quite a sight). But one positive thing about it is that we’ve gotten to know our neighbors pretty well now
Puppy training is going pretty well. During class they’re perfect angels, learning commands, following hand signals, and answering to their names. However as soon as they get home and are in the backyard, they go deaf We have to start giving them alot more treats while at home, carrying treat bags constantly .. I just cant get over having dog food on my hands all the time .. blech! Hopefully one day they’ll start coming in when they’re called.
Its been a little while since I’ve taken pictures of our 2, I’ll try to make some time for a photo shoot this weekend. Since we painted the house I havent had a chance to set up my studio again.
