Bandit update!

Bandit is a very different dog than Toby! He is very quiet. He hardly ever barks, Toby barked at ever noise, and went crazy when someone one came to the door. Toby was a very good lap dog, bandit will set by you but not on your lap. He prefers to lay at your feet. Toby was hyper. bandit is very mellow. Toby was to active to take time to learn anything. Bandit is very smart, and learns very fast. I have a team of dog trainers that live here now. Tanya and Dave have Bandit, sitting, Lie down, playing dead, Come, He is learning to bring back his little stuffed frog. We put him on his leash and open the kitchen door and torment him with the cats. Yesterday he bolted out the door to the cats when I went out to get something. So today we have been teaching him that he can't go out the side, or front doors, even to chase cats, unless he is on a leash and invited out. It will take some time but he is getting it. He is not use to sleeping in a crate. The first night i had to cover it with a sheet. I quess the biggest news is that he id definantly my dog. He follows me everywhere. While I was doing applesauce today, he would lay on the closest rug to me. if I went downstairs and didn't let him through the gate he was very unhappy. So i guess I have what i wanted. I good companion when i am home alone,which won't be for a while. and some to keep me company. By the way Bandit gets his hair cu next thursday. I gave him a bath today, and it was not a good thing, but he smells cleaner. He hated it. He jumped out as fast as I could put him in. I think that I got wetter than he was. But we made it through. I wonder if he has ever had a bath before. The groomer may have fun next week. I know he has had hair cuts but she would just slick clip him. It will be a while before he has long enough hair to have a decent looking show cut.

Well i did 15 quarts of applesauce today. And I hope to get that much done tomorrow. it would have been good to get the mess done all in one day but that was not to be. hopefully I will be able to finish it tomorrow, but I have to take grandma janet to the doctor tomorrow afternoon. So Brittney is coming over to help me. I hope to have it all done and in the hot packer when i leave then Brittney can watch it and finish it.

I had the opportunity to tend Jonah today. it was only for brief periods. but we got along great. When he was so sick I didn't dare tend him. but he is getting better so I dare do it again.
