Dog Farm Update

Between our critters at home and Paws-itive Partners projects, it seems I've been busy the past couple weeks. It's all good though so I'm not complaining.
I returned a call to a lady who needed Paws-itive Partners' help to spay her dog. Lexy came to them through the animal shelter. The new family is sure they adopted the smartest and most talented dog in North Platte. It might be true - it took only 48 hours to train Lexy to ring the bell on the door knob when she needs to go outside!
Sunday evening we were watching a dog show on the National Geographic channel. All our dogs were in the room sleeping, chewing on a toy or sitting on the couch next to Husband Bob. When the dogs on TV barked three heads popped up and became quite attentive. Brandy cocked her head, Maggie's ears went up and Annie turned around to face the screen. It was so cute to watch the dogs watch the dogs on TV.
A couple days ago Maggie was in the backyard when something caught her eye. She dropped to her belly, crouched level to the ground, her fur stood up on her back and her tail fluffed out. She was very focused on the squirrel 20 feet up in the tree. The squirrel was safe from Maggie so it was fun to watch her showing her retriever instinct.
Annie's spending more time out of her corner. She seems more relaxed and wanting to be with the rest of the pack more. Annie and I still haven't mastered house training but we are trying. We replaced the sun room carpet and have ceramic tile now. Husband Bob asked if I thought we would have an all vinyl and tile house eventually. Bless his patient heart!
