We have a new
puppy. Zozi is her name and she is a fine Boxer puppy to keep Brin company. We
refer to them as ‘BriniZozi’ as in ‘Brangelina’.
Zozi is much
smaller than either of the ‘boys’ were; she is also very quiet, doesn’t like
the cold, the wet or the mud. I hope she will grow out of it, but she could be
a Little Missy.
Brin is being the
perfect gentleman and doesn’t seem to mind if she nibbles him here and there
(yes, even there)!
It’s lovely
having a puppy but puppies are such hard work. They eat, poo, wee, play, sleep
all day and all night. They jump on the sofa, hide under the bed, steal your
scarf, and bark at the postman.
Zozi is working
very hard at being a Good Dog Citizen. She sits on command, understands ‘no’
and ‘leave’ and ‘down’, although I have had to be a shouty Mummy from time to
time. We have started taking her on short walks, just 10 minutes, to get her
used to the collar and walking to heel. She loves going out.
And tomorrow
night, we start puppy classes. We’ll see how that goes. The ‘boys’ were asked
not to return to puppy class as they were too disruptive. Taking two Boxer
puppies to training class at the same time was perhaps a bit ambitious. Zozi
should be a doddle!
From what I have read on Twitter puppy classes are going OK? Three cheers to Brin for being such a good sport with her. xx
ReplyDeleteWe had a taster session for the puppy class so this week is the real thing. We've been practicing, hope I do OK!
DeleteGood luck with the puppy classes, they can be so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad poor Brin is being good houmoured about Zozi hunting out a teat like what her mummy had. Boys dogs do get bit of a rough ride around pups until they work out there's no milk lol..
Looking forward to hearing how you and Zozi get on xxxx
That is so true Dawn, still makes me laugh :D
DeleteI can't wait to hear all about the puppies classes!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I'm not a fan of puppy class, prefer good socialisation. But I'm giving it a go with Zozi.
DeleteDear Brin, it's nice to know I'm not the only charm school drop-out in the blogging world. Dear Zozi, just remember, puppy class is the only place where you'll ever get your fill of treats..... so enjoy!
ReplyDeleteRumpy, I'm sure you are very charming and didn't need puppy class to teach you that :-)
DeleteHave fun at puppy class - I always used to do my best to liven it up!
ReplyDeleteHope the puppy classes are going well and that you are now more an assertive mummy than a shouty mummy!!
ReplyDeleteShe's very cute!
