I’m having a great time and my human thinks I’m the perfect puppy. And I’ve got a name…it’s Millie.
Soon after I arrived I started to learn some commands. My human had a handful of tasty food called Ziwipeak..man are they yummy. She held one just above my nose, let me have a sniff and then moved it back towards my tail and at the same time said “sit”. I kept my eye on the treat and my head went back and my bottom went onto the ground. It was easy and then I got to eat the treat and a pat and was told I was a “good girl”. We do this a number of times through the day and also just before I get my food to eat. The other time I’m asked to sit is when I say hi to my human or anyone else. My owner thinks it’s really important that I don’t jump up to say “hi”. It’s what we do in the dog world so it’s natural for me to do that, but I live with humans and they don’t really like that, so ..when in Rome…
The other think I learnt was to come when called. My human says “Millie ..come”..in a really exciting voice and I run over and get some more treats. Then she asks me to sit..and I do that..and more pats, more treats …more “good girls”
I’m growing fast and loving my new food. I get lots of interesting things to eat. This week I’ve had raw chicken wings, raw brisket bones, raw salmon head, chicken carcasses, heart, liver, eggs as well as my puppy mince and veges. My human sprinkles some other bits and pieces as well like spirillina, kelp, brewers yeast and some oils or seed mix. I love chewing on the bones or the big chunks of meat, just like I would if I was in the wild.
It’s great fun being a puppy….
