Education:
 |
| Gilley at Purdue University |
I have some! I went
to Purdue University when I was nine weeks old! I know obedience and got a Canine Good Citizen
certificate. I know basic Agility and I LOVE the tunnel, A-frame, tire jump,
& dog walk the best. I like chasing and catching soft Frisbees a lot too. I learned some herding but I only herd fowl, not sheep
because rams and some momma ewes are mean and I don’t like that. I learned Pet Therapy and my favorite is visiting kids-they play with me and I never get tired no matter how many kids I play
with or what we play. I know lots of fun tricks the kids like to see and
try to do with me too. I’m also very good at
snuggling. I tried flyball and I was REALLY good at it but my human mom, Chris, said it’s
too hard to go to flyball practice because it's kinda
far away.

Education:
I didn’t get one ‘cuz my first humans didn’t think I need to
learn stuff.
Chris rescued me and she’s
taught me lots of stuff. I know my house
manners and manners at other places. I
learned some obedience, but I get sort of self-conscious and anxious so I don’t
always do it exactly right, but I try really hard and mostly get stuff right. I
know how to play some ball in the house with Gilley and Chris. I know how to walk really well with Brian. I'm a really good guard dog and I bark big, like I'm a Great Dane. I am a really good snuggler and like to be
really close-on top of Chris in the recliner is good! I like to go places but I
get so anxious that I bark a lot on the ride and Chris reminds me I shouldn’t, but I can’t
help myself. I learned to get groomed-that means I get cleaned up, brushed and have my toenails done with a Dremel tool.
I LOVE
baths even tho' I won't swim-it's scary not touching the ground! Chris and Brian have to be very clear about WHO is taking baths because I will hop in the sink or the tub at the mention of the word "bath." I like the nice, warm water and getting a good rub-down so I LOVE a bath. But, I don't like getting my butt brushed-it bugs me, a lot. Chris uses Showsheen for horses on my butt hair so my butt stays tangle-free and she doesn't have to brush it so often.
I LOVE
