is 11 weeks old, a Water Spaniel. Cute as a button. Our nine year-old dog was very cool with him, sniffed and then spent the rest of her time sniffing grass and peeing to make her mark.
I’ve told my husband for years that after adopting a dog who was severely abused and rehabilitating her, then getting a six week old dog from a shelter only to have her hips removed and rehabilitate her, I was done with this.
Then I met Charlie this morning and all of that went out the window. While I hate to think of my next dog when the current one is a herder and under my feet at all times, I was thinking of a Portuguese Water Dog that doesn’t shed and who I won’t have to bathe every week for my husband’s allergies.
Randy (Charlie’s owner) says they’re starting Obedience this week, and Charlie’s only 11 weeks old and has those needle teeth…. Good luck!
For me, I told my husband that when our Zoe goes in peace, I am still young enough and ready to train one more pup who will take us into retirement years. Thank you, Randy and Charlie, for that epiphany.
We wish you well with your dog and in your training. Cheers! Dee
