We’ve Adopted!
It’s been a long time since the pitter-patter of padded feet have been heard in this house. It’s also been 30 years since I trained a puppy, and I’ve spent the last few days reading books about how to train dogs. This one is almost 6 months old and has been at the dog pound (or is that dog impound?) since she was weaned. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce you to Daisy, our new Rottweiler.
She’s not all that small anymore, and getting her onto my lap for this picture was an interesting adventure for both of us. She’s also a big sweetheart, and is catching on to this housetraining stuff fairly quickly- for a 6 month old dog that’s been pottying in her enclosure.
She smelled pretty bad when we picked her up yesterday (we had to wait a week to get approved) but she survived her bath this morning and smells MUCH better. She’ll never know how close she came to being named Stink Muffin instead of Daisy.
She’s enjoying her chew toys, but like my previous dogs, prefers tennis balls, sticks, and toilet paper. So now you know why I haven’t been producing much artwork lately. Hopefully I’ll get back in the studio as soon as I’m a little more familiar with her potty schedule. Right now, there’s no way we’ll make it to the back door before she has an accident.

Daisy is so beautiful! And the book reviews are really a great idea. You write a fine review - to the point and interesting to read. Well done!
Both are good books, and written by professional dog trainers.
Daisy is currently learning sit, wait, and let’s go. She’s already got a pretty good understanding of “hungry girl?” and “outdoors.”
She’s such a good puppy.
