Peri the Overachiever

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Many of you may have read my discussion about Taquito the chihauhua.  We are having to really train him (never did because he is so little - hasn't been a problem - etc...).  So now we are trying to "teach an old dog new tricks" - I mean, he has never even sat before.  Meanwhile, Peri the doodle has had pretty extensive training, passed her Canine Good Citizen, etc...

 

So we are working on Taquito's "sit-stay". He is having a hard time getting this.  So imagine me saying "Taquito sit" and him just looking at me. Then imagine Peri following us around and litterally butting Taquito out of the way to "sit" for me!  She pushes him to the side, sits, and stares right at me like "hey mom I will sit, what do I get, what do I get???".  It is totally hilarious.  I can be in the other room with Taquito - she hears the word "sit" and within a few seconds, I've got a grinning, sitting doodle right in front of me - waiting on a treat! 

 

So funny....  the good news is that Taquito is mellowing a little - he's already not trying to get on my lap when I am playing with Charlotte (the human baby).  He is just a little more subdued in some respects.  Here's to hoping we get him in his place - must cure the napoleonic complex ;)

 

Thanks for all of your support!

 

And here's a pic of the baby, because I can't resist.  And it's virtually impossible to get one of Peri and her together.  They were under the coffee table this morning - she reached out for Peri and Peri licked her all over. It was too cute. Then Peri ran off....before I could get camera.

Peri,  You are adorable.....BUT your baby sister is the cutest ever!.....I love those little curled toes!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Charlotte is adorable! You are going to have to start keeping a camera attached to your person at all times so we can see her and Peri in action, lol! 

I'm so glad Tacky is mellowing out!

Charlotte is sure a cutie!  What an "impish" little grin!!  Glad to hear that Taquito is mellowing out a bit!

Sedona's been amazing with our new grandson.  He's here a couple times a week and Sedona is very gentle with him - mostly just some curious sniffs!

OMD...she is such a beautiful baby...those eyes are amazing!  Peri sounds so awesome....and good news that Tacky is starting to "get it".
