| Nike |
Meet Nike! He is about two years old and WILD! I don't think anyone spent much time with him - his manners were non-existent when he arrived. I opened my front door to a dog that was lunging and pulling so hard on his leash that the lady trying to hold on to him asked me if I was scared. I told her no, but my heart raced because it was obvious this wasn't going to be a piece of cake! A big metal cage from the rescue was also brought to me......just in case.
I was a little worried also because this weekend our friends Steve and Lecia were coming from Lake Oswego, Oregon. I wasn't sure how our guests would react to an out of control dog. Fortunately, they are dog lovers and they helped out in his training. Four people scratching behind his ears while correcting his bad behavior was perfect!!! I think it accelerated his progress while giving him a lot of security. By the time they left today he was no longer jumping up on us and I think Steve was ready to adopt him himself. Nike is a great dog and he is smart......
So as it turns out, Nike is one happy, playful totally untrained puppy in a sixty pound body.....and he didn't know any better. He was also so anxious and scared it breaks my heart. Whatever happened to him between his other home and my home will always be a mystery. All he needed was love and attention and some guidance to fit right in here. He now is totally adoptable and will make some nice active family a great companion!
In the mean time our adventures will continue..........
