My heart … my heart is full!<\/p>\n

Auggie and Emmett and memories of early days with Bear, Karl, Bob, Gus and Zack. It is a wonderful and also bittersweet time!<\/p>\n

A week ago, as I write this, I was meeting Emmett for the first time and it was an incredible moment! He was placed in my arms and I looked in his eyes and said: “Oh, Emmett. Do you want to come to Montana and be my dog?”. And he kissed me.<\/p>\n

I will never forget just as I will never forget the first words I’ve said to each of my dear pets.<\/p>\n

So.<\/p>\n

Snippets from this first week…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clicker training: I cut the training treats in 1\/4’s and used those with clicker to “mark” behaviors. This led to Emmett’s “go to bed “behavior”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The play pen. I increased from 4 panels to 6. Emmett and his siblings were in a 6 panel enclosure. You can see Auggie to the right as a kind of blonde blur.<\/p>\n

Auggie.. so funny. He can be anywhere he pleases, but he chooses to walk by Emmett which initiates a follow\/chase. I stay in the background. They have had some “boxing matches”. Auggie has raised paws but so far no contact. I am pleased with all behavior!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Workday!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Relax time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good Grief!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More snow…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
