| SKEETER AT 6 MOS |
Frankie and I are both missing Skeeter. He has gone to a dog trainer for four weeks. I cannot visit him for quite some time but the trainer promised me some photos and updates. I dare not ask about how the pup reacted to the Fourth of July fireworks. Frankie did not do well but never does. The bombs and flashes scare her to death and she dives under the bed. It makes me very hopeful that Skeeter responded well but probably did not...all lonely in a wooden crate, in a strange place, visiting with new friends...
Skeeter was a terrible child and needed to go for training. However, he was also a precious little boy who looked at me with sad eyes every time he did something wrong.
I go through the house without him and see all the damage he has left behind. You would never believe all the things he destroyed. A few antiques...blankets...robes...shredded string...boxes of kleenex...three dozen eggs (shells and all)...he ate two AC filters...Skeeter managed to eat two fly kill refills. He always waited for me to get out of the shower which I allowed until I stepped out and into fresh dog poop.
The first week of training is over. Frankie and Skeeter played hard and I do sense that Frankie is missing the pup too. We have three weeks to go.
"A trained dog is a happy dog." That's what my father always said, and he knew dogs and how to train them well. It's a great idea to send Skeeter to a professional dog trainer. More people should that with their pets!
