pup and things are going great! We brought Sachi to Marc's parents house and as you can see, he felt right at home.
Here's a picture of the twins with Sachi (we're still trying to convince their parents to adopt Neiko! Brothers having brother mals.. it couldn't get any better!)
Miss M wanted a picture with the pup.. such a great photo!
Sachi's first steps into the pool.. he was hesitant at first but it had a great time once he managed to get all 4 paws in!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things are going great! So far we've had a great time in teaching him to "Come" on command and yes, he loves his treats. :) He's also had the opportunity to walk along the Charles River and meet new friends, including a very sweet, older golden retriever! It was interesting -so many people stopped us along our walk to comment on "what a beautiful Mal" he is and how well behaved he was! The little pup made me proud. (Although, he ran with his tail between his legs when this little Chinese Crested barked at him. Poor Sachi! I agree Sach, a 5lb dog CAN be intimidating. :) )
He's doing great on the leash - although he's still pulling a bit when he's distracted (Squirrel!!)
The kittys are ok so far - Junior has yet to come out of hiding. Actually, correction: he knows to come out when Sachi is crated for bed. A bigger surprise is Nugget, who we thought would be the toughest critic. In front of us, she growls and hisses at Sachi like he's a big nuisance. However, I've caught her a few times tapping him with her paw and sprinting away! Too cute! We're keeping our fingers crossed that they become good friends soon.
We're dealing with a bit of separation anxiety but we hope that once we get into a routine, he'll be ok. :) Marc and I have been testing him - leaving the apt for 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15minutes to see how he does. It's only been a day since we've been testing this and he seems to be getting better and better as we increase the time. Keep your fingers crossed.
Ok, back to Dog Whisperer - we love this show!
Wish we had thought to get a picture of the stairs Sachi was leaping in a single bound.
