We have also learned some more about her habits. She is already very attatched to us and is excited to see us every morning and when we come home from work. She listens relatively well, especially when she is not too excited. Sitting, some staying, and laying down are all pretty understood commands. We have already trained her to sit at the door before we go outside. She even does it without us saying it. We are trying to work on stopping at the corner before crossing the street. So far we have made progress. Her walking on a leash is getting better too. She needs to get in better walking shape though. She is tired after a 1/2 hour walk. Adam and I are still getting used to our new morning routine; go outside, come inside, walk around 2 blocks, go back inside, eat breakfast, and then leave for work. All between 5:45-6:45 am. Yow!The biggest hurdles we will have to overcome is her getting really excited when we come home, some small amounts of "mouthing", and chewing, oh yeah and the shedding (remembering to brush). So far she hasn't even attempted to pick up anything other than toys or bones to chew but boy does she chew them! She has already destroyed a hard rubber ball, a stuffed toy, and chewed through another toy. She just chomps on them while laying down on the floor. We are hoping to get into an obedience class. It will help us learn how to train her, it helps with the bond, and hopefully work towards being a really well behaved dog!
Yep. We are excited. She is excited.
Gryffin is a little annoyed and cautious but doing ok. They mostly avoid each other. Gryffin got brave one day and started playing with the end of her leash (she is still wearing it in the house). She got up and picked it up with her mouth and carried it closer to her! It was hilarious. I am sure that once they start to understand each other more and get used to each other, they will be good friends.
Keep posted for all the next new adventures!
