| 2/17/08 - Loki has been a wonderful companion the last four days! I have been a bit under the weather and my husband went to the NASCAR race, leaving me with the three dogs. I was a bit worried at first having all three dogs by myself. BUT they were wonderful! Loki has been great and is very concerned about me. Where ever I go -- he goes. I do feel bad because there has not been much playtime but he has been content just being lazy watching "chick flicks" and napping frequently. Hey what more could a dog ask for? Loki continues to be a wonderful dog.............he is very happy go lucky! He is let outside without a leash on to do his business and watches to make sure I am there -- then RUNS back as quick as can be. I must say I do believe he is a prince in training b/c God forbid his paws get wet from the puddles! He has put on some weight and he looks really really healthy. He loves sunbathing when the sun is out in our bay window. Loki is anxiously awaiting for his forever home........................if you are looking for a dog to love you unconditionally and wag half his body from excitement when he sees you, then Loki is the dog for you! 2/1/08 - Loki is doing great! I bought him a chip rough hide and he thought he died and went to heaven! My dogs devour theirs within 10 minutes; Loki ate his very slowly and savored every minute of it! We have been letting him off the leash in short intervals and he has been doing very well. He stays within sight and loves to play with the other dogs. I had a candle party the other night with about 12 people at the house and Loki was a perfect gentleman! He greeted everyone with a HUGE butt wag and went on his merry way. The other day he ran out of water though and drank out of the TOILET! YUCK! So I would suggest just to make sure your toilet seats are down and the water dish is always full! 1/22/08 - Loki continues to be such a joy. He is hilarious as he "hops" through the snow. It has been very cold outside so Loki goes outside does his business and comes right back in! (He's smart!) He is a male that stays in one place to pee and does not feel it necessary to stop at every opportunity to mark his territory. We have had hm outside playing with our dogs and he is great. We leave his leash on and stays very close to us and comes when he is called! He still needs to know where my husband and I are at all times. He does not jump anymore when my husband or I enter the room. He finds a bone to pick up and put in his mouth to control his excitement. The last few days he thinks it is a game to find my slippers and carry them around in his mouth. At night, he will talk to you or sing to you to get your attention to snuggle. He likes to do this little nibble nibble nibble when he is excited -- you just need to remind him to stop and he will. At eating time he has not growled at any of my dogs. He is learning to take breaks when I ask him to and knows when I tap the dish and say "ok" that he can continue to eat. We have only had one incident where he has eaten too fast and thrown up. That was my faulth though because I was trying to get my dogs inside. We have tried working on the "down" command more but no success. Loki does a great job and knows he needs to sit before eating and before he will get his leash on for a walk. Loki does sleep with us at night at the bottom at the bed. He is a good sleeper that stays curled up all night (my dogs are a little upset at the fact that Loki can sleep on the bed but they can't :-) ) Loki will make a great addition to any home................ 1/16/08 - We had Loki now for 4 days and he is adjusting quite well. He still continues to constantly make sure we are within 2 feet of him. We took all three dogs out for a walk last night and they all walk in unision....it is kind of funny. Yesterday we got a bunch of snow so my husband and I decided to take Loki out by himself and see how he responded (on a leash). We did let the leash go and he insisted on staying right by our side. I threw a couple of snowballs and he waited to make sure it was okay before he chased them. It was funny watching him "hop" through the snow. He got hit by a snowball and then hid behind my husband unsure of the snowball game. He has done great with his crate training during the day --- no accidents. I leave him a bone with some frozen peanutbutter in it. Although, last night I had to go out and I told Loki to "kennel up" and my dogs went in and Loki just sat there waiting for his treat! He is house broken -- no accidents! We are currently working on his "greeting." He gets SO EXCITED when he meets new people he has been jumping up. My husband and I can't complain because he doesn't exhibit any other bad behavior. Last but not least, we are still trying to fatten the boy up! 1/14/08 - Here are some pictures of Loki. He is adjusting well......Today was the first day back to work and it was tough leaving him. (I guess he is preparing me for when Frank and I decide to have children!) He follows Frank and I around everywhere ...I think he is afraid of being left. He seems fearful of the bathroom - he will not come in at all. He slept with us again last night ....he curls up at the end of the bed. He is just TOO CUTE! 1/13/08 - We picked up Loki last night and he was so excited to see us! He was a great car rider. Loki met my dogs on nuetral grounds and was very eager to play with them. He followed us around all night - he needed to know where we were at all times. Night time was a bit difficult. We put him in his crate and cried and cried and cried. I let him out and he slept fine with us and the dogs. There have been no accidents in the house.....besides his messy drinking habits :-) Today he was very well-behaved. We went on 2 walks and he was very interested in his surroundings. He walks excellent on the leash. His back end flys out of control with excitement when he sees people. He barked at other dogs on the walk because he thought he could play with them all. Loki is a lover! He needs to fatten up a bit but I am sure that will happen in no time. He already knows the "sit" command and "shake." When Loki eats I have to let him take a bit and then take it away to give him time to chew and digest. He has been inhaling his food. He is really good about though. The only bad habit I have seen is once in a while he will jump on the windowsill to look out the window...we are working on this. He has had a long day following me around and he has finally crashed! He will make a great addition to his forever home. |
