Snickers - day 2







Some better pictures of Snickers...










Snickers had a good night’s sleep and as expected we started to see her true personality. She is quite playful and a very happy little girl. To start with we did the stairs in the back yard. She did them both up and down without a problem. I also took her on my usual 45 minute walk and not only was she able to do it; she is a good walker and stays with you without having to stop frequently. She and Tari are getting along well. We still keep the muzzles on them when they are together... just in case Tari gets a little jealous and decides to snap. So far this has not been an issue. She is playful and has been trying to get Tari to play in the house; Tari wants no part if it. It kind of shows you the difference between a 2 ½ year old and a 7 ½ year old dog. We took Snickers outside in our fenced in yard a couple of times today and let her loose to see what she would do. Surprisingly she wants to stay near while at the same time did a little exploring. The nice thing is she does know her name and responses accordingly. She also understands the word “No” even though we have not had to use it very often. So far no accidents in the house and this probably because we are rather diligent in taking her outside frequently and praising her when she does do her business outside. Within the next few days we will allow her to roam the house for longer periods of time and watch her closely to see if she really is house broken.
