I'm going to get backlash for sure on this but I want to share. Please read before you judge. I adopt the older dogs because it's something I enjoy. But with adopting older dogs, their past history is also never truly known. This is an incident that his past isn't known but i learned now as the weather gets warmer and he is healthier, that he is a reactive dog. Not aggressive reactive. More like he was never taught proper socialization nor proper manners while walking and seeing other dogs or people. This is the truth right here. He does scare people cause he wanted them to notice him. He is loving to people loves pets. I am talking with my behaviorist trainer to try and train him to stay calm. Betsy is calm but she is also a reactive dog hence her leash that says nervous. I've worked many years with her. This year is going to be training so we can have a peaceful walk and learn that this excitement bellow is not wanted and scary to some people. ❤️
Happy Friday everyone!! We are bracing for another snow storm and might get 6 to 10 inches. Winter seems to not want to go away. That's fine by me cause I still get to roll on the hard snow! Today is my 3 week check up for my nose. Momma says the steroids and the antibiotics helped a lot. Monday ill be left home while mommas mom aka my mama too is going to be getting the cancer out of her. I told her not to worry. I'm cancer free for almost a year now (will be in april). Told her it will hurt but that's okay. You get a nearly scar to prove you are in battle. My Aunt saige will check in on me a couple of times so I am not alone all day. Momma will drive home that night. We will keep everyone posted on how it goes
Happy monday!! Momma clipped my nails today and I get the zoomies when I have a bath or clippings. But momma sais the bath is tomorrow 😱. I disagree that I am stinky. I smell very delightful. Momma says I don't.
Happy Tuesday ❤. Betsy impressed momma today. Momma usually uses the command "Side" when walking in the sidewalk. Well she ended up say side when we were in the field. I was on a long leash 🙄 (I like to run into the weeds and trees to find poop to eat). Betsy was off leash and she was there right by mommas side when she said the command! I swear she is super smart.
Momma gir us an agility course! Well Betsy mostly. I just dont care for it bol but I did do the weave poles!! Slowly momma will work with us to keep Betsy mentally happy and me full of little kibble treats!
Working "agility" with Betsy to help her get confident after what had happened! She is very food motivated. ❤ she is doing an elevated cross while walking through the one ladder part. Our trainer had contacted us and had told us to try some homemade agility. ❤
Its been a heck of a weekend and we are grateful for it to be done. As you can see christmas day it snowed.... We had a white one. But we also have momma on the pause until Jan 15th now again. So we are trying to stay afloat. But dont worry. We are tough as nails. Okay Betsy and momma are. I am a little old man that doesnt like shots bol.
Momma here. Please excuse the lived in house. Cosmo is happy and healthy, but we have noticed that he isnt reacting to and noise what so ever. Here is just a short video while he is awake. When he sleeps I have to mist him with water for him to wake up. I am a bit sadden that he may be deaf and cant hear his name or good boi anymore 😓😓😭 but he is 15 and the age is sure showing now.
What do you not understand of do not disturb?!?! Dang hoomans. My built in sleeping eye mask hehe
(I never would let momma or anyone do this when I was first adopted.)
