Anara’s days have been filled with trying to teach Athena proper puppy etiquette. They spend a considerable amount of time together, wrestling, playing and running. Anara is very patient and loving with Athena and shares toys and kongs willingly. Her favorite game is to grab a toy and have another dog chase her endlessly. Anara will play with Athena until Athena tires and then she is ready for the next dog. She absolutely adores Emmett, a handsome young Chesapeake man who is here sharing the holidays with us. Anara is fond of the snow and playing outside. She is an endless source of energy and happiness. Her favorite day ends up being Thursday every week because another young man (German short hair) Jack comes over to play. Jack has a little less energy than Anara but he can play for hours on end. Anara goes to the Animal Doctors on Monday for her spay.
Athena has been working on her manners with Anara. She plays well with one dog at a time but tends to get too excited when there is more than one dog. She does not have the energy level of the other dogs and does not like the cold weather or the snow. Athena much prefers to snuggle on the couch with a nice person. She has been working hard with several of the young students who come to help with training. She is very proficient with her sit and down cues. Karla (foster mom to Tucker) came out today and worked with Athena on her elephant (two paws on an object), touch, light and proper greeting behaviors. Athena worked quietly and attentively in the room with other dogs working around her. Athena prefers calm, quiet environments. She walks well on a leash and is appropriate when walking among and around other dogs on a leash. Although Athena is not high energy she is very athletic and would do great with Nosework or Frisbee. Athena loves to jump in the air and enjoys vaulting over other dogs and objects. She loves to climb on Jungle Gyms and climb on top of platforms.
