Sam

It's no secret that we went to meet lovely Sam on Saturday, the three year old going on eight weeks!
He is gorgeous. No other word for him. He has this way of stopping and looking at us to see if we're ready to play (again!) with a quizzical look on his face and one of his jowls slightly caught by his teeth which makes him look so cute.
He has the energy and excitement of a puppy.
He knows some commands and needs work on others but his lead training is coming on in leaps and bounds after just four half hour sessions. He has yet to be tested with distractions while he is walking such as dogs, cats and people but he is already okay with bicycles. With no distractions, he is walking to heal on a loose lead with no pulling. He proved easy to train on lead-walking as he is so very eager to please. He absolutely loves being told that he's a good boy.
Fetch isn't going as planned. The first time I threw the ball he ran after it, picked it up and rushed back into the house with it leaving me standing like a lemon on the lawn. I still haven't found the ball! We've now got another ball which he chases, throws up and down, chases and eventually drops for me to go and retrieve to throw again. I don't think the object of the game is for me to do the fetching but hey ho.
I'll keep you updated with progress as its early days yet but he is a real character and has filled our home with smiles again.
