Barney

Barney is a wonderful boy. He gets along great with my own dog Macy (also a rescue), and compared to her he is an absolute angel. We just started potty training and he is picking up on it very, very fast. Within 24 hrs he had only one accident, he is now fully housetrained! He is very playful, and he gives great hugs. He walks very, very well on leash. He is energetic, but composed. When at home is very calm and likes to follow me around. When I am doing something in one place for a while he will lay down next to me. He is very good with people and I think kids as well. He is not much of a jumper and either wags his tail at or ignores strange dogs. He never nips, even when playing and he gets along famously with my own dog. He is a real sweetheart and very quiet, doesn't bark and doesn't chew anything. He is very affectionate, such a sweetie. Everyone who meets him just falls in love with him. He is an absolute sweetheart.

*Update January 14, 2009* I thought I will do a little update on our little boy. I have some cute pictures of him (it's hard to do because he is so curious and wants to lick the camera, but I am attaching them below. Also, I have started clicker training with Barney and we have been learning sit & down for now. He is very excited. It's kind of cute. When I click, then his eyes get so, wow I can't even describe it, but it's like "I really got it right? Really? I am getting a treat?” sort of look, which is plain adorable. He is learning what toys are for and loves them! Barney has learnt how to shake a paw and uses it to ask for things, if one paw doesn’t work, he uses both!

Barney has been microchipped and behaved very well through the whole procedure. He has learnt a new trick ‘touch’ and he now knows to touch my hand with his nose on command.
