Aaron and Jessica are visiting from Ottawa for the week. I’m a happy mom. Because I live out of town and they have tons of friends in Halifax, they are spending most nights in town. But we are spending lots of time together, so it is fine.
Aaron and I are going to Chester tomorrow to take Lila to the vet. (That’s an excuse to take a drive in the country.) Lila has already become quite fond of Aaron and Jessica. She lights up when I mention their names. And she loves playing with them. Last night she showed them how she can put her front paws up on a stool and twirl around. She loves this trick. Her tail wags the whole time. Next we are going to learn some dance steps. Along with all the usual sit, down, stay, heel, etc., which she is very good doing, as long as there are treats or rewards to go along with it.
The weather hasn’t been cooperating for our visitors. We’ve had heavy winds and rain most of their visit so far. Sadly, it will be sunny Saturday, when they leave.
I just happened to come across your site, very interesting life you lead. I too have a Portie from Jane, he is Maverick we've had him Since Feb 6, this year.Jane is a wonderful breeder, her dedication to her pups is really something. She had Maverick 80% trained to go outside to do his buisiness and he was also sitting. Reading your early days with Lila, just seems like you are here in my home writing about Maverick. I guess all porties are a little mouthy...we have tried lots with the bitting thing but this is the first that I have heard about the 3 strikes...I like it and will try it...should work if it worked for you.... I hope all went well with Dr Evans he is great..take care
