We just adopted Heinz, a seven-year old English Cocker Spaniel mix, from the Baltimore Humane Society, last week! Now why would anyone give up such as loveable sweet-faced dog? Let me count the ways! Submissive urination? No obedience skills? Comes, if he feels like it? Thinks our bedspread is a dog toy?
We certainly have our work cut out for us on this sweetheart! Luckily, his good looks and sweet disposition are irresistable! I've already called a professional trainer, who'll see us next Friday, and enrolled Heinz in basic obedience! Wish us luck!
When I called Don from my conference, he said that last night he was in the shower and heard Jake barking up a storm! Apparently Jake was "tattling" on Heinz who had decided that our bedspread was a dog toy! Luckily, the hole is small and I wasn't too fond of the bedspread!
Six more days until the trainer comes!
A Dog Blog - love it! What a cutie. Who's your trainer?
ReplyDeleteHeinz is so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteOur trainer's name is Beth! I'll let you know how it goes!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe anyone would give up such a lovable, sweet-faced dog like Heinz either, in spite of his poor social skills.
ReplyDeleteJust last night, I was thinking how much I love my friend's fabulous Maltese fur ball, Sluffy -- she is soft and fluffy -- in spite of the fact she jumped up on the couch next to me and sneezed directly into my cup of hazelnut coffee. ;-) You gotta love 'em!
