Minnie
This is my new doggie!
Isn’t she sweet? She’s a rat terrier (we think), and the vet says she’s a good, healthy dog (less than a year old).
She’s already learned how to sit (sort of). (And she’s already housetrained too! Thank goodness!) Now if she can learn “down” (or learn not to get up - on the furniture, on people - in the first place) and to not take off running outside everytime the door opens, we’ll be in great shape.
Beyond that, she’s very hyper, very needy (she loves lovin’ and playing with her rope toy or Sophie’s monkey), and very interested in chasing the cat around the house. So Patches has decided she’s not too fond of her (she’s reluctant to give up her cage - strange as that sounds), and Sophie seems to be putting up with her, at least.
I’ve been trying to make sure that Sophie doesn’t get ignored or anything. I still play frisbee with her, and I brought them both treats from Ritter’s the other night. I also took them both for walkies yesterday.
Sophie’s really good at teaching Minnie how to behave (like sitting patiently to wait for food). Now if she could just teach her how to stay away from the cat stuff…
