Norm the dwarf Gargoyle gecko!
You all have no idea how proud I am of this dog!! She came to me dumped, homeless, lactating and bleeding with no puppies in sight. From the way she acted to her mannerisms, you could definitely tell she was just an outside only dog with no manners or training whatsoever.
She was adopted out for 2 months with a little 15mos old girl who she fell in love with and later brought back to us through no fault of her own.
It's been 8 months and I can only begin to tell you how much she has improved! She knows several commands and is house broken. And her off leash recall while distracted is phenomenal!! I got a neighbor that goes out yelling at her dog or her young child and will yell at them for 5 minutes yelling their name in the same tone in the same manner the whole time expecting a different outcome yet this stray dog has a better recall than her pure blood untrained family dog or her kids.
Mia so badly wanted to run out into the road to play with the little girl and the other kid and their dad playing ball. Like, that is what she lives for lol She desperately misses her little baby friend she had at her other house. So I was very very surprised, happy, and very proud that she immediately stopped and came back the very first time I called. THATS how a dog is supposed to listen. If your dog does not listen then its not ready to be offleash. Period. 8mos of training and this is one diamond in the rough!!
Enjoy the video of her perfect recall! Also, she is available for adoption!!!
Boris the tortoise!!!! I've had the pleasure of checking on this middle aged man and feeding him. He's oftentimes been waiting for me at the gate because he's not allowed to graze while his parents aren't home. I felt bad for him longing looking out at the yard through his gate.... so I picked him some dandelions and he was absolutely in love! What a cool dude! I think I'll bring a brush and scratch his scutes tomorrow. <3
