I want you to know what a wonderful dog I have in Marley[now
Boomer-named after my grandson's puppy backpack that looks just like him].
He is gentle, quiet, is semi-obedience trained, housebroken, good with cats,
good with kids-and a great running partner. I was home with pneumonia for
the week after I got him so we had a wonderful opportunity to bond.
Boomer is an excellent listener and I never have to raise my voice. We
are working on improving our communication [the successful ingredient in any
relationship]. He already knows NO [only need that when he decides to chase
a squirrel or one of the cats], leave it, with me, come, lie down and uh uh.
He gets very excited when he sees something [squirrel or another dog] with
which he wants closer contact and SPRINGS straight up three feet off the
ground. We will be going to obedience school beginning next week, so that I
can learn how to help him to be a good/better citizen.
I am so fortunate that Boomer is mine! Thank you for the picture and
thank you for rescuing him. As soon as I learn how to download the pictures
from my camera, I will send you one that shows how he looks now that he's
been bathed and has had a haircut. You can see his beautiful eyes and he
has No snarls-no more bob Marley! Nancy
