Frankie is AMAHHHZING!

Sweet Frankie - he has had a busy week - I started teaching him the doggie door late last thursday night... He thought it was the worst thing ever - even with treats - we only he practiced for about 6 tries - he wasn't having fun and it was pretty cold.  Well, something must have clicked in his sleep that night - because in the morning - he was going in and out the doggie door all day like it was the best thing ever... And it's been a week, he uses the door as needed and not one accident in the house!  Housetrained!  YAY!!!   He's such a smart boy.   

He's also found his voice  - he alert barks at the door and sometimes at noises in the backyard - My Sasha enjoys the barking in the backyard and joins in - she doesn't hear that well these days, but she can tell when he's barking and feels she should join in! 

We also went to the pet store and he had fun getting his sniff on  - did great with all the dogs that were around, except this cute lab puppy he baarked at... too nervous to take treats from the staff, but he just needs practice.  He's actually really good on the leash when it comes to walking.

 He also loves toys sooo much... balls and stuffy animals.   This blue ball has a bird in it that chirps and he's determined to get that bird out... He might succeed on that.    Tiny tennis balls are the best for playing fetch with hiim and he runs so very fast!
