I am growing long roots in this
here foster home... I keep coming back after what seems to be a
successful adoption lasting some 6 months. I start to see the pattern
now. I am a perfect little dog in all but one respect. I listen, am
fully house trained, am not barky or overprotective and all that
stuff. But: Once I determine who is the boss in the adoptive home, I set my mind to being the
number two boss, the "vice boss" -of course no pun intended
there.. I decide to show the human #2, so far it was the
wife, that I am in charge. In little ways, like discouraging her to
enter the study where her hubby -the boss- works. I might growl.
Yes,
I even have resorted to the unacceptable - nip her shoes. She got the
message. And rather then letting me have my way - with her
- she did what any wife would do, Tell her hubby that I had
to go. And the husband reluctantly complies although he
says that if it were not for his wife he would never give me up because I am
the perfect companion. Love to take long walks. Play well at the dog
park. So I figure my problem is the pack order. I can be number two,
but not lower in rank. There must be a way that somemone can get that
out of my system. Like here in this terrier boot camp. I never doubt
for a minute that I am NOT number 2 or 3 or 4. I am a happy
equal among equal pack members. Not a chance I could establish a
fiefdom of my own here! But I am afraid in a family who does not live
by pack order , I might reverse into the social climber with
under boss ambition. That is the problem...
I am about 4 years old now,
still young. Healthy, fixed, hw negative and all that. Was a run down
totally matted and neglected Ohio stray before coming to this foster
home.
I love to take walks and I walk
like a gentleman! I have unusual colors that change with the angle
that
you look at me. Blond, black and silverblue all mixed together! Rough
coat that grows to a certain length only. I most certainly have a
Cairn terrier in my family, but probably also a Lhasa Apso. I am
playful with other dogs and always in a good mood! Quiet, do not mind
being in a crate although in my adoptive homes I was never crated and
had full house privileges. Maybe too many privileges too soon...
Let me know what you think!
