No Longer A Puppy, & Continuing To Learn


Here she is sitting with such attention, in my brother in law's & husband's, utility truck. The truck is rather junkie, but only used to maintain our property. No she's not beautiful, handsome, or even fancy. Her looks are rather plain, which even scares people occasionally at first glance. The personality, warmth & loving loyalty of this sweet mutt, who really does look like Jim Corce's, "junk yard dog", remains -- "my little dingo".

She's done really well with both the Invisible training, & the Obedience training too. Yes, she's got me trained, & a big "woof" to you too Dolly. We've both certainly grown up & matured through this process. There was no other way, if I were to keep her. So far a definite A, as she can be in the yard, "off leash", no longer wandering away, but still needs watching over in this phase. We're aiming of course for that A+. She's got the potential, now all it takes is time, & continued dedication. Tomorrow will be our last Obedience lesson, unless I need to schedule more. Time will of course tell, it always does.
