I'm on vacation and away from max.
Our family friend here has a pug he let us dog sit for about a month. He's been with us about 2 days. Where we are, dogs aren't held to very high standards, but my whole family are pug finatics. (My aunt decorated her house with hundreds of different pug memorabilia. She sends me some too sometimes. I don't complain.
) His name is Bush (I didn't name him, but he was named after the former president of the US.) He maybe around 10 years old, has bad skin, suffers hair loss, may be a little bit deaf, and is pretty skinny. I went straight to working with him on obedience commands. Here, they normally don't teach the dog anything unless its a working dog. Today he mastered puppy push ups. (I felt kind of strange telling my mom that 10 year old Bush could do puppy push ups.) This is really small, but i'm only gonna be with Bush for about a month and i wanted to get my doggy fix immediately.
I'm kinda embarrased to say this, but i brought max's clicker with me (I knew i would miss him a lot
) and i'm gonna start working with Bush on clicker training. It's a shame we couldn't bring max with us. Our yard here would be his garden of eden. The front and 2 side yards are about 5 or 6 times as large as our house in texas.
