As well as a spay day yesterday it was a training day as Lorna came to bring Aimee aka Storm over for a viewing. Unfortunately it was a no-show for the prospective adopter but Lorna decided to work the dogs while she was here.
  The first was Coco Brindle - the shiest of the chessie mix puppies. I put a collar and harness on her as well as he rleash. She was not a happy camper! And tried to go back over the fence. Rayla is behind her!
 

Finally she could actually sit and look around her.
She still wasn’t very happy tho. Lorna did ttouch on her and put a tensor bandage around her to keep her mind busy. Soon Lorna could touch her all over her body and she relaxed and went for a walk - tho she was held up with a towel! When she was released she ran right back into the house then back out into the yard again. She was ok!

Next was Kernel Pupter’s turn. He is a willing,friendly but sensitive fellow. He will be an awesome family companion - he really likes kids too and is good with cats as well. What a treasure!

Then Jaime went out. Now that her demodex is under control - she is a much happier girl!  Lorna found her to be confident and walked very well on leash. She would take wieners but not kibble as treats - smart girl!

And finally little Merry. She hasn’t grown much since her arrival - she is an apartment sized German Shepherd!  Lorna says she is a very nice dog!! She is very interested in people, has lots of focus (would be a wonderful RallyO prospect), She is very food oriented and is a confident happy little soul. Another truly awesome family companion.

By then it was dark so we had a nice supper and conversation. Lorna left early as she has to work day shift today. Dave returned with the spayed girls and two neutered boys from the pound. The young shepherd male is friendly, sweet and such a gentle fellow. The other is a husky/karelian bear dog - he is full of himself yet - the neuter will calm him down quickly. He is adapting well this morning, is much quieter - he was hungry and thirsty last night! Both are a bit thin but will soon be healthy and robust and ready for loving families.
