It is so hard to resist a puppy! <br />Ray is such a good natured sort that he never blames me for anything. He just carries on as if nothing has happened. Such a trooper.<br />And I think it amazing that Breeze knows sit already - and just through association. Smart! It will be interesting to see how many words she picks up in the first couple of years.Ray the Blind Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736385808454815957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991873913041556400.post-61993155175517073432012-09-19T01:27:23.644-07:002012-09-19T01:27:23.644-07:00Wow, that's impressive Ray!

Breeze, the blind puppy (five months old) was recently boarded (with two of her pack, one sighted one not) and once back home had to relearn "outside" and "inside" since the boarding staff carried her in and out! (they also hand fed her but that's another story) My three blind girls know "watch" to prevent them from bumping into things but sometimes I am not quite paying enough attention...oops, sorry. Does Ray ever give you a dirty look when you mess up like that? I find it very interesting that the blind puppy has picked up on the group command of "sit" before going out the door. How does she know?!acd6packnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991873913041556400.post-7955158716924601032012-09-17T12:42:27.446-07:002012-09-17T12:42:27.446-07:00Yeah, 8 and 9 are usually used in "let's ...Yeah, 8 and 9 are usually used in "let's go to the lake" or "wanna walk around the block?" But I know that the only words he recognizes are lake and walk and block. If I say "lake" he usually heads to the car for a ride there (although we do walk there too). If I say block or walk he heads down the street. <br />Ray seems to understand that he has been bad when he hears a "get out". Sometimes he will try to re-enter the cat room but an "unh unh" usually keeps him at the door. If that doesn't work, the latch is reattached and he will stand with his head down around his knees and jammed through the crack. A truly pathetic sight.

Hugo seems to know it so he could take Ray under his wing as a pupil. It would be a good bonding experience for them both. (absolutely NO sarcasm above, nope, none ;)Anne in FLnoreply@blogger.com
