| ENYA |
UPDATE 11/30/07 - Enya has become part of the Malloy household. She loves her routines and the
long, long walks she goes on every day with each of us.
She has learned what a 'tummy rub' is...and I guess you could say this is one of the first commands she
has learned :-)
She is cozy, snuggly, wiggly and calm with all of us!
One of her favorite routines is 'bedtime' in which as soon as I say "Enya, it's bedtime," she waits for me
to go to the treat jar, then prances at my side to the bedroom where she eats her snack, then jumps into
bed and 'preens' us with her front teeth. Our trainer has said this is a sign of affection...if you've never
experienced it, I'll try to describe: She very gently clicks her front teeth rapidly and pulls on your
clothing or skin! It feels very charming :-))))
Our biggest challenge with her is her aggression with other dogs. She has bitten a couple... having
escaped from her Gentle Leader!! Now we use a harness and a collar both hooked to a leash. We've
had a trainer come to our home, since she can't focus when other dogs are present. We try to re-direct
her with a variety of treats if we spot another dog coming.
She will be neutered in a couple of weeks. That's all for now, we'll update later on.
UPDATE 10/28/07 - Enya was taken home Saturday and I already received a call saying everything so
far is going great and they love her already. I think it is a great match. She left with her own bed and a
big kiss from me and I told her to be a good girl. Thanks to all who helped her find her way home.
10/27/07 - Enya has been adopted!
10/24/07 - Enya was cleared to have her second dose of Heartworm treatment. We have been
working on her commands and she is really improving. I take her down to the tennis courts where I can
work with her off leash and she will now come on command and then sit. She really is a love and can
not get enough loving from you. I have learned that she will stay by you as long as you are petting her.
So if you want to get her to go lay down, you need to just ignore her for a few minutes and then she
finds a soft warm spot sleep. She has our bed room routine down pat and knows bed time. Once you
say that she curls up on her bed and is out for the night. Enya is not a really barker, but if at night she
hears something and can not see it she will bark, which, as far as I am concerned, is a good thing. If
you are looking for a snuggly fur ball that just wants to love and be with you then this is your girl...Have
some questions or concerns, please give us a call.
10/16/07 - Enya was able to go for a sleep over last week while I was away on business and I found
out her manners needs to be polished a little bit. First of all, she is an alpha dog and would most likely
be happiest as an only dog. She was with two other boxers and she would walk fine with them, would
sleep with them but as soon as one would try to play with her she took out her aggression on them. It
was as if she does not know how to play. I am sure it is fear issues which if someone wanted to take
the time and patience and training this issue could be fixed, but as I said it would take work. if multiply
dogs is not for you then she is great and you will not have any worries. Walking her on leash and she is
fine. She has a tendency to feed herself if any open food is left on the counter. Other then that this girl
is so darn cute and just loves to cuddle with you and is ready to go whenever you are. She is a gem in
her crate and will sleep until you are ready to get up. She will bark if someone comes to the house, but
will stop as soon as you tell her to and then she is all wiggles for any guests.
9/29/07 - It has been a week since Enya arrived to recuperate from her heartworm treatment. Enya is
around 18 months old and is a typical toddler... She is so curious about everything, her noise has to sniff
everything she loves to sit at my front door and watch the outside and loves her walks. We are having
roofs put on our Condo's and today Enya sat outside for about any hour and just watched the workers,
not a bark or sound. We are working on learning manners and as you know toddlers can be stubborn
but she is learning. She knows sit and "no" but right now does them only when she wants to, again did I
tell you she is a toddler? She has the softest coat and the cutest face. I am going to try and get better
pictures as the ones on her web site does not do her justice. Enya has many wonderful manners in
other areas. She does great in the car and just sits and waits for you to return. She loves to lay down
on the seat and lay her heard on your lap. She also can be left alone in the house without any incidents
and she also loves her crate. Okay, Enya would like to go for a walk and has asked me to end this and
as everyones knows a toddler does not give up once they want something so I will write soon and keep
you posted on this girl. I will say she is a cutie pa tootie... Get your application in you will not be sorry....
9/17/07 - Well Enya went last week for her heartworm treatment. She has not missed a beat since. I
feel so bad for her because she feels good and does not understand why she is stuck in her crate all the
time. She just wants to play. Well with 7 other dogs here she just can't get out much because she needs
to be quiet. The good thing is Enya is great in her crate, she never makes a peep. She is completely
housebroken and has never had an accident. She is great with the kids and gets very excited to see
them. Enya is a wonderful dog that deserves to be the center of someones world. If you have an
energetic home, that wants a well behaved love bug and NO CATS or small critters then this is your
girl. She sould be ready to go within the month.
8/23/07 - Enya was a stray to a shelter & sadly no one came to find her, even after being there over a
month! She passed her temperament test but turned up Heart worm positive. The shelter needed to get
her into rescue to have her heartworm treated, otherwise she would be put down.
Thank you to all of her very dedicated transport volunteers this past Saturday that helped get her to
Maine for treatment (braving very heavy traffic & even appendix trouble!). She is about 18 months old
and very sweet with people & loved to ride in the car with everyone. Enya is a very pretty girl & has
lots of energy! I have not introduced her to my dogs yet, but I do not think she will have any issues
with them. I did find out right away though that she cannot live with cats (she thinks J.J. is a fluffy,
walking squeeky toy!-LOL).
Since Enya has heartworm, she will be going to the vet soon to start her treatment. She will
unfortunately need to be crated a lot for the next several weeks while the drugs work to kill the worms,
but not her! It will be at least 6 to 8 weeks before she can go home, but she will be happy to know her
new family is waiting for her!
long, long walks she goes on every day with each of us.
