Missing our dog Maggie, I thought that volunteering at the local shelter might help. I wish I could rescue or find homes for all of the dogs, but the shelter seems to be able to home animals pretty quickly. We donated some food and items to the shelter. Adopting a dog in the past from a shelter, we knew that if we did again, there are always behavioral issues to deal with. That, and shelter volunteers really don't know anything about dogs or how they think or respond. They just end up teaching them things/bad habits that you have to untrain them from. Call us foolish(ahem), this is Micah. Born 5/24/24. A little hellion. I call him FPH (friggen pecker head) We've had him since the 7th. Have to get his jeepers snipped next month. Hopefully. it will take out a bit of piss and vinegar. He's super smart and trying to find his position in the pack. He's already listening well with me, but is challenging mom, so we're both working with him constantly. He's getting more vocal and letting us know when he has to go out or he's hungry. He also is sassy and knows how to work a room.................................
