I said the same thing about my Elvis whom I purchased about over a year ago now and soon after felt he actually qualifies in many senses as a rescue
...anyways...
I had him about a year he was the perfect definition of a lap dog companion, follows me everywhere, looks at me as though I'm retarded when trying to get him to do dog stuff like get a ball, looks down his little stubby snout at the other two dogs and submits instantly when they play with toys-he is Princess' favorite toy
Well all of a sudden he's chasing a ball! He's wrestling! He's playing with toys chews them! The lazer light on the floor really helped getting him active!
Now Elvis still hates getting dirty outside and is still a bit (who am I kidding he's very very LOL) "prissy" but what a difference a year can make in the behvioral changes...I think he either learned to play in that time by watching the other dogs or just became confident enough...honestly I think he just learned how to though.

Fritz has been such a joy - even though he is a hoarder and likes to take our shoes etc - I am going to miss him when he goes tomorrow.
I hope his new mommie will send me pictures often (I get pictures and videos of Reno several times a week!!! LOL) |
