Here’s Kri, lounging after doing her dog thing today. I’ve been spending time with her every day, playing, taking her for walks, and today we did something daring… shhhhhh… don’t tell, but I took her off leash and we worked on “Come, pup!” and the usual “sit” and “down” and “stay.” You can see she looks awfully satisfied with herself! With reason!

Kri is a senior shep who needs a home — if I didn’t have a senior shep who’s a wuss pup, I’d take her in a New York minute, because she’s a great dog. She’s old enough to lay around a bit, but peppy enough to wear you out tossing balls. Kri spent a lot of time in a kennel popping out puppies, and she’s not used to bonding with people, hanging around, focusing her attention on humans, so that’s what I’ve been working on with her. Yesterday, we went swimming in a nearby creek to cool off — she really enjoyed that!

We go through two or three hot dogs a day, but now, after just a week, she is paying more attention, and today she was focused even though I’d forgotten the hot dogs! She now “walks nicely on a leash,” as they say in doggie school, she doesn’t “stay” yet, but we’ll get there. She comes when called, but I’ve got a feeling that getting the ball tossed again is her primary motivator! We spent a long time tossing that stick today, and she was grinning that shep grin, ear to ear! Look at this happy pup!

If you’re looking for a dog that will give you great return for the time you put in with her, one who’s over those chewing days, one who will lay around on the couch snarfing popcorn and beer (my brother’s favorite activity with his dogs) or run with you in the morning or go for walks after work, she’s the perfect dog. Call the Humane Society:
