Found as a stray in South Carolina and shipped up here, she, too took her time deciding about bodily functions. She does the same when we travel. It's anxiety producing. But once we settle, she's fine.<br /><br />She seems not to have had a pack so it took most of a year for her to trust this is all real. And she, too, had no interest in her kennel for much of that time. Now she uses it regularly, especially every time one of us goes into the bathroom and turns on the water in the tub - she hates baths!<br /><br />And by the way, being a lab mix, Xena is a black dog. We love black dogs!<br /><br />Welcome Home, Theo. Xena gives you a huge wag of the tail and a welcoming woof.Lois Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708877817422097051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-3719111239515386422011-03-26T01:46:44.800-04:002011-03-26T01:46:44.800-04:00BRAVO!!!!!!

Seems he has tested positive for Lime's disease, so she's bringing by some antibiotic for him. He should be fine. His titres are on the lower end of the positive scale and he should respond well. <br /><br />I'll go and check out Baily's Buddy.

When I give a command and the dog looks at me I take out the piece in my mouth (some trainers spit it at the dog) and give it to the dog. This does three things: 1.) teaches him you give hime food;2.) your smell; 3.) to focus on your face when he hears your voice. I also give hand signals as 98% of communication with dogs is through body language. BTW-toy poodles are a bit timid by nature. Mr. Wonderful is a very lucky dog.<br />Best wishes, MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-57562653744417904642011-03-24T21:39:05.853-04:002011-03-24T21:39:05.853-04:00Welcome home Theo!Welcome home Theo!it's margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577280471100732619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-28388526546360346182011-03-24T17:51:22.267-04:002011-03-24T17:51:22.267-04:00Suzer, actually, it was more like 0.5 seconds. ;~)...Suzer, actually, it was more like 0.5 seconds. ;~)Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-67354150462901769542011-03-24T17:50:55.486-04:002011-03-24T17:50:55.486-04:00JCF - Well, Mr. Lenny Bruce Brisco is black and wh...JCF - Well, Mr. Lenny Bruce Brisco is black and white and Mr. Theo has a white vest, a white spot on his chin, and one white sock.
