He's very well behaved, trained for many things and listen's
to me, most of the time
Buddy's a big boy and I can't let
him do whatever he pleases. He needed lot's of training and
I have given that to him. I'm not about to let it go down the
drain now. He thrives on discipline and seems to be happy to
receive it. He's my little love this boy is. It's been a long road
these past 5yrs but the outcome was so much worth it. Quote:

It's hard when there is little consistency between "Dad and Mom". I tend to be the more strict of the two of us so they don't get away with as much. Just as guilty tho' with puppy treats and fixing their meals. Zeke minds better than Zack but we/I am working on him. The guys are still learning the "house rules" even after being adopted more than a year ago.
Great line "I am on him like butter on bread".
