And we're back...

We had a wonderful time down in Mooresville, NC this past weekend. The weather was WONDERFUL and we all had a blast. This was the first time Nell was able to enjoy the lake... as the previous visits were all during the winter. She did GREAT... she was off leash most of the time, and never really left our side (perhaps it was her being paranoid that we would leave her at the lake...). She enjoyed kayaking, playing with the sand, swimming and the boat ride. She wasn't keen on the boat ride, but I think she enjoyed the kayak. She also got to visit my BF's grandmother... she just thinks Nell is the quietest dog ever! Sitting with granny was the best!

Also, Nell passed her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test tonight! She is now certified!!! Great job Nell! We are sooo proud of you!!!! I was little nervous since she was stuck in the car for 6 hours before the test. She's definitely a trooper! 

We're still alive...

Tucker and nell have been going at it with eachother... We have found out Tucker is a "tease" and Nell is a jeolous girl. Anything Tucker has, she must have... and anything Tucker has, he must tease Nell with it. ughh... the constant bitey face is driving me crazy and I'm sure my neighbor is about to report me to the condo association... Take a look at the video... It's super dark... but you'll get the picture of constant bickering between the two.

Two Unhappy Dogs

Nell and Tucker has been at each other's nerves this weekend... Nell is moping around and Tucker... well, homemade belly band is annoying him, but some protection is needed. 

Meet Tucker

Meet Tucker... I dropped Carlos off at his new home yesterday, and Tucker was surrendered to BTCMD-Rescue last night. He's a sweet un-neutered male, about 10lbs, 9 months old... Used to be named "Rascal" but decided Tucker will fit him just fine. He's not housetrained, so he's been peeing and marking... ughhh... I'll be working on that with him next few weeks. He didn't have rabies shot, so that is our first priority, then he goes in for his neuter on the 26th. Nell is very active with Tucker... mainly trying to tell him Nell's the boss, only for him to ignore. I doubt it'll take long for him to get adopted out.


 

I am the jeolous sister...

Carlos is settling in very well. Nell has gotten over her fear/defensiveness with him and now are at least tolerating each other. Carlos' submissiveness has improved quite a bit and his anxiety has almost disappeared thanks to the herbal powder recommended by Terry at PetSage.

I'm happy to report Carlos will be going to a new home on Friday. It was a short stay, but we enjoyed having Carlos at our home.

Meet Carlos

Everyone, I'd like you to meet Carlos. He is 1 year old (Cinco de Mayo boy) and he just came into the Boston Terrier Club of Maryland Rescue system yesterday. He's a very very sweet boy, little hyper, but overall, very well behaved. He does have issues we need to work on, but hopefully, he'll be adopted out soon.

Nell has not become friends with Carlos just yet. She is very defensive when he is around, but that is to be expected. She is a princess afterall... she can't have just anybody become her friend.

Who's that?

Who is that on my head?

Yes, I am comfortable

My parents are in town from Japan... This is the first time they met Nell. They love her. They can't believe how well behaved she is and how she never barks. My BF and I was mean to Nell and sounded the fire alarm just to show my parents, yes, she does bark. Nell loves my dad... but is scared of my mom... my mom thinks her telling Nell to get off the bed when she first got to my condo caused Nell to not like her from the beginning... It's funny to see when my dad calls Nell, she'll go to him, but even with treats in my mom's hand, Nell is very hesitant and once she gets the food from her, she'll bolt from my mom. Poor mom... she was sooo looking forward to spending some quality time with her grand-fur-by. Nell did let my mom scratch her tummy on the couch... doesn't she look very relaxed?
