Singing praises

I didn't want to detract from Treatmeright's entry so I am entering a separate one (wink!). Treatmeright has been a great foster dog; he tries very hard to please everyone and is attentive to verbal cues. If we say "no", he listens and stops quickly. He loves to follow us around to check out all the action, but will promptly sit down nearby once the excitement has waned! He is not pushy and just loves to be around humans.

We had an exciting event recently where he met our friend's little rat/Boston terrier mix (who is quite alpha). Treatmeright was extremely curious, but listened to us when we made it clear for him to be polite. It also helped when the little dog let Treatmeright know when it was getting too close for comfort! By the end of the evening, they were giving each other kisses!

He is also learning about some other fun things, such as how to eat a Frosty Paws treat. Here, he found out that resting his nose on the container and methodically licking out the contents seems to be the best approach!

What a beautiful looking grey. I love the white with patches.

Looks like Mr. Treat may be warming up to smaller dogs. Good job! He sure is beautiful!

I'd have loved to have seen Treat swapping kisses with the terrier mix. These hounds are so funny!
