Daisy and Zeke have been doing a great job staying off the furniture! Surprisingly, Daisy has really taken to the new bed and hasn’t even tried getting on the furniture. Zeke, on the other hand, has actually sat on the plastic runner! He’s figured out how to sit far back on his hindquarters, so apparently it doesn’t hurt. After catching him doing this a few times, Mom got the hot dogs out to reward him sitting in the dog bed. We’ve had success for about a week now! Great job Daisy and Zeke:)
We also welcomed our new dog walker/playmate today. She now comes midday every day Mom is at work to take the dogs outside and simply play with them. She knows how to play with tunnels and jumps, how to do enrichment games like the muffin tin and how to properly play tug. And Mom is quite pleased even after only one visit! She’s NEVER seen Daisy or Zeke so calm upon greeting. There was no howling, barking, clawing, jumping or crazed running. Daisy and Zeke both casually strolled out of the dog room/crate and walked outside. Zeke immediately went potty, then was ready to go back in the house without a fuss. He picked up a Kong, took it to the new bed and spent about 20 minutes quietly chewing. Daisy was sitting in the sun. It’s amazing!
Even just last week, Mom would never have guessed this photo could be taken just minutes after she arrived home!
Or this one! “Look, Mom! All four paws on the ground!”
