Petey in the New Year
2 Attachment(s) Hi Everyone!
:aimeeyork Petey is great! His fur is lightening up, like his Momma...so far, mostly on his head and paws, but starting to see signs of a little lightening on his back too.
He has really come into his personality. Christmas was at my parents house this yeasr (they just moved back to Indiana) and my whole family was there (about 15 people). It is a little house, so it was very cozy. My two nephews (19 and 16) have really taken to Petey...who snuggled up next to them on the couch all through dinner. [We had the dining table in the middle of the livingroom and the couch served as some of the seating.] Petey was very well behaved and loved all the attention. He is definately worming his way into my family!
I take Petey to visit my grandkids often. He gets so excited to get to play with them. They chase each other around and Petey loves to bark and chew on them. :) They, in turn, love to pick him up and snuggle with him. So far, they are doing quite well together. :thumbup:
Petey is chewing on almost everything now. LOL He loves his sqeaky toys best. He has recently rediscovered his tiny tennis ball. I haven't got him to bring it to me yet, but he does keep his stuff piled up in one place, when he is not playing with them. :p
I am having to move - the house I was renting was sold. I got the word 3 days before Christmas that I had 30 days to move out. I have found another little house, though. It has a completely fencing in yard for Petey! It is small - the house and the yard - but it has big rooms and lots of closets. :) Petey doesn't understand what is going on, but I am sure he will love his new back yard.
One thing I have started to do to help me get Petey to come to me when we are outside is to keep bacon bits in my pocket. When I call him I stoop down and hold out my hand with the treat - he always comes running. I tell him he was a good boy to reinforce the action. So far it is working well for me to get some control on him not wandering too far. He really seems to hate his leash...I put it on him only when I leave my yard.
The first picture is of Petey stuffed between the cushins of my couch. He snuggled up next to me and when I got up, thats how I found him. :D Sooo funny! The second pick is Petey in his new 'coat', a little denim and sherpa-like fleece number, laying on my desk at work. He is so good when I take him to work, they have told me that I can bring him in once a month, if I want to. Usually we only bring in our pets once or twice a year. Petey loves all the attention!
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for all your sweet welcomes and hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season!!! |
