Thought I would send you an update on Mick. I am not sure you would recognize him. He has a sunny, bright, zany personality and we love him. Although we affectionately refer to him as "Mick the Dick". We discovered over the 4th of July that he loves to swim. Last weekend my husband and I took him canoeing with us. The picture below was taken just before he jumped out of the canoe. He can swim really really fast when a canoe is chasing him. (Don't worry we figured he would jump and were prepared).
Mick and I are taking obedience classes and he is the worst behaved, I struggle between being mortified and laughing til the tears run down my cheeks. Last Monday, my niece, who is going to cooking school, left me a baguette she had made. Mick not only ate the baguette but managed to find two bags of doggie treats and ate all those too..... Unfortunately, this occurred between 4-5 p.m. and we had obedience class at 6:30. We were supposed to be working on heel but old Mick was not interested in treats cause his tummy was all nice and full.
We were sent to a quiet corner of the store to work on heeling but it involved crossing the main aisle of Petco. Before I could blink, Mick slipped out of his collar and headed for freedom and the front door. The dog trainer was hot on his heels. Just short of the door Mick turned saw the dog trainer (with the bag of treats) and reversed direction at top speed. He always comes that way but stops just short of bowling you over and throws himself on the ground at your feet. The week before he knocked the entire little barrier they put up around the lesson area over. I can't hardly be mad at him because he does everything with such joy. He's just one big happy guy. He has learned a lot of things, sit, down, off, no, out, walk, swim, chill, go to bed and we are working on stay and come. We love him to death.
