I havent laughed so hard in years.

Just a few minutes ago I had the best laugh. My ribs are still aching, my cheeks are sore and tear covered.

My large bully mix Jay is a huge fan of the talking husky Mishka's videos on Youtube. The very first time it was played he howled heartily all the way through the video and then some. I'll admit I laughed when that happened but no where near as hard as tonite.

I'm not sure why, but my husband played the video. Sadie perked up out of a deep sleep and did the side to side head tilts at Jay singing away and then burst out with her own tiny, well squeal. I'm not sure I can describe it as a howl, it was more like a small childs longwinded cry or a ready tea kettle. I was completely unprepared!!

I am so thorougly enjoying our new family member.

On another note she impressed me greatly on our walk last night, she is the only dog that I've ever owned that "healed" perfectly. She even held her potty untill we were back in our own yard. She's also doing good with sit, but she's usually too excited for the behind to stop moving side to side.

This is going so well! So glad you are enjoying her so much! Even more glad both dogs are getting along! Such good news!

darn, where is the video camera when you need it?!

 

[cali~jenn]

yes please get a video of this! How cute!

 

[froggz]

I most definitly will!

Well its been four awesome days, and just a few hours ago the giant chicken Jay FINALLY initiated a game of wrestle with her outside. I was so happy! You could tell he wanted to play but was intimidated by her. He'd playbow and tease her with a toy but when she'd get close he'd drop it and run or jump back a few paces. So far today they have played tug, ball chase and flat out wrestle. Jay even gave her a belly show to initiate another game of wrestle.

After the first nights couch guarding there hasn't been an iota of agression from her except when she feels the need to guard the property then its just hackles and barks. My only real worry is my neighbor lets their semi agressive rat terrier run loose and it usually ends up in my yard. It has actually backed myself and Jay right back into our house when we first moved to the neighborhood. Not sure how thats going to work out untill we get our fence completed. On the first initial meet up she was good with Jay, but it was neutral ground, experienced handlers, and Jay is very social with other dogs. She listens very well but its obvious she got no real basic obedience training as a young dog. She's doing very well though adjusting and I LOVE watching her "decide" whether nor not she'd like to sit. Now that she's figuring out she gets ALOT more pets and "happy talks" when she does sit its working pretty well. She almost picks up on hand signals better than voice commands though.

Sounds like yuo got a GREAT pup, good for you! How fun I am a bit jealous. Would love another but I am waiting a couple years I think, till we finish having 2 legged babies. I tell you it is so hard to not fill out the resue application, I have looked at it so many times now. lol

 

[bullmama]
