3 Weeks!

I can't believe Sassy has been here 3 weeks already! Where does the time fly? Well Sassy has been a busy girl learning how much fun it can be to be living life as a confident canine :)

When she first arrived, she had no leash manners at all. Now she walks perfectly beside me and will rush to the front door when we say the "w" word with great enthusiasm! She will put the brakes on occasionally if something startles her - and for this reason we have her on a martingale (or "anti-slip") collar so that if she does this, we can continue walking without having to worry about her slipping out. Easy as pie! When she first arrived, she was pretty petrified of my husband - now she just adores him, although I must admit, she is a big mamma's girl if I do say so myself :)

While Sassy is great with dogs in her pack in our home - she is still nervous meeting them on walks and chooses to stay close vs venturing out to say "hello". If the dogs are very energetic and insist on getting in her space she will snap at them. Given how far she has come with us in only 3 weeks we remain completely confident and hopeful that with continued exposure to new dogs on walks she will see how much fun it is to make furry-friends!

Sassy is a silly girl who loves to follow us around the house just so she doesn't miss out on anything. She also continues to enjoy the treasures in the toy box and asked me to introduce you to some of her very favourites.

#1. Bronson The Dinosaur Nylabone!

Sassy says: "There is nothing like a good morning chew like Bronson!"

#2. Frosty the Penguin

Sassy says: "Frosty, you're so squishy and I love it when you squeak at me"

#3. (Sassy asked us to save the best for last!) Templeton the Roadkill Rat

As you can see, Sassy was a little confused as to why Templeton got to sit on the chair all by himself when he's usually being dragged from room to room in her mouth :)
