Sit, Down, Stay!

Fun Fancy

It is hard to believe that it has been three weeks since I wrote about Fancy. She has definitely been very busy during that time!

On May 17th she began an obedience basics class with Dana Cooper of Woofer's Canine Companion and she has done really well in spite of the fact that we haven't worked as hard on our "homework" as we would have if she were the only one here. We will keep working on what we have learned and happily turn her obedience file over to her new family when they come for her. We expect her to graduate this Thursday!!

Fancy is a joy for us. She is busy and curious and can get into puppy trouble, but she is also so fun and loving and smart. I has been a pleasure to watch her grow!

Now that Fancy is housebroken, she is enjoying some more freedom in the house with Luci and the cats. She chases and catches the cats, who are not terribly afraid of her and often don't run away in the first place, but these are very dog-tolerant cats. We are working on this with her, but I imagine most homes with cats will not feel comfortable with Fancy's level of interest.

On the other hand, Fancy gets along great with ALL of the other dogs, even the prickly Luci. However she is a Very Smart Puppy and needs lots of supervision to keep her from getting into "trouble" (like stealing hand towels-- her favorite!).

Fancy got to go to Doggy Play Day at Taurus Training again last Thursday and will go again on Monday. So important to keep a smart, active girl busy!
