Dakota Update

We are having a wonderful time with Dakota! She is fitting in well. After a few "pack walks" (ala Cesar Milan http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/articles/dogwalk.htm) Dakota is happily adjusting to being in a household with Buddy and Ginger. Ginger of course is at the head of the pack. Dakota is walking nicely on a leash, and has learned to "come", "sit", and "up, up" (jump into the car) and we are working on "down" next.

Buddy are Dakota are getting along famously, including one caper where we left the closet door open a crack and they worked together to wedge open the door retrieve all the bones and raw hides we had in a stash in a paper bag. They have even been known to give each other knuckle bone bits as presents.

Last weekend we took her and Buddy over to a friend's new house where they could hang out in the back yard. They had a great time playing together and "helping" with the landscaping by digging holes while we painted. This past weekend we took them to a beer festival at a brewery where we camped over night. Needless to say people adored them everywhere they went.
