Tuxedo has arrived!
Tuxedo came to me on Sunday night from a puppy mill south of Montreal. He is a spectacular black & white Cocker Spaniel who looks all dressed up & ready for a night on the town;) He is a sweet, gentle & friendly young dog barely 1 year old.
He was so stressed out when we picked him up that he went pancake on the floor & we had to carry him to the car & put him into the dog crate for the drive home. Poor littl fellow had no idea what was going on.
He woke up the next day much refreshed & ready to explore.
We went for an early morning walk & after only a few "heel" corrections he was walking on a loose leash for 75% of the time. Unheard of! Boy is this dog eager to learn & please!!
He's very quiet & polite in the house,sticking very close to me while he learns the ropes. I doubt if he's ever been in a house before so everything is new to him. He met the cat yesterday & very gently sniffed his nose.This morning he stood in front of the dishwasher as it swished away & just listened to the sound. Then he was off to the living room to have a post breakfast nap with the other dogs.
He's not at all jumpy or nervous. He has all the makings of a peaceful family dog. He'll be happy to take part in whatever's going on,whether that's a walk in the park, a nap at your feet while you work or read or a cuddle on the couch to watch some TV with you.
I'll post some pictures so you can see how gorgeous this agreeable fellow is:)
