Martinez Family Journal

Our rambunctious puppy rushed by Matty and Matty is not so much bigger than him now. Shadow is almsot 6 mos now and he is getting quite big. And he will keep growing for at least another half year. Anyhow, rushing past matty he accidentally scratched matty's feet. Ouch! Matty complained to me and I felt so badly for him. we have him on a wait list to get into obedience class, so until taht happens net week with the first class, we will have to bear with him and all his massive energy. I said to Matty 'it's rough having a pupy int hehouse, isn't it?' and he replied instantly 'Well, it sure is with HIM - YEAH! Now if we had chosen Zabrina, then it would be all right.'' Sabrina was the much calmer puppy at the choosing of the puppies. they were brother and sister, but Zabrina and she jsut cowered int eh corner, no exaggeration. It appeared that if we chose her to be our puppy then she might never play. She was timid beyond imagination. But loved to be cuddled and held.
So soon, come Monday night, it will be my responsibility to train this terror of a dog. WE are thinking he is Aussie (that much is definite) and probably flat coat retriever... a dog full of energy, boundless energy.
