Zippy the Rescue Dog - Update
Norman & Nancy
Zippy is more acclimated toward us now. There is no fighting over food,
and they share the water, drinking out of the same water bowl at the
same time. Zippy has finally come to understand the "Come" command.
She Sits on command, does a reasonable Stay, and knows "No!" Still
wouldn't trust her off-leash on walks, like we do Rex. She can sit and
stay a foot from her food bowl and wait until the command to "Go eat!"
is given. She knows Kitchen, Bed, Lie down, Off. Intelligent dog.
And, best of all, she hasn't had an accident inside the house for a
while now. She knows to come fetch one of us if she wants to go out,
going back and forth from the kitchen door to the person available. Not
as interested in treats when we're on walks, she loves her walks,
excitedly going to the door leading to the garage. She's learning to
heel, but loves to smell the ground and grass, walking in a zigzag
pattern to make sure she misses nothing, logging double the miles of our
walk.
She is such a cutie. She bends her head back, so far back, it seems her
head might fall off. Great personality. She sleeps on her own bed next
to Rex's bed in our bedroom. They wait to be covered up, looking up
expectantly until we cover them up. Like little kids.
Bye for now.
