We are having fun with the foster Schips this year, and learning new tricks to teach dogs how to be good companions. Godiva is really fond of me, but she lived in a kennel, not a home, and she needs to be monitored closely for her housebreaking skills. She does not like rain, she does not like the heat of the day. She might make a little puddle and want to come inside. You gotta learn each dog.
Our strategy is to carry Godiva to the far end of the dog yard until we know she has done all of her business. Little Lisa Marie needs encouragement to walk because of her knee surgery, so I take a dog under each arm.
They love the extra attention and this little effort is paying off with both dogs. That's Sisko watching the festivities. He's wondering how come he's not getting a ride.
