I think Lexi has
moved in! She acts like she has been here all along. She is starting to
play with her toys and is less anxious each day. We bought a long
training leash so that she can run some but still not have complete
freedom, especially at night there are a lot of distractions walking
around here and we don’t want to have to pick her up in Milwaukee.
Yesterday, a friend came over to see her and Lexi put her ears down and
backed away, I think she thought she was going to have to leave here for
a new home. Poor dog! She did warm up when she figured out that it was
my friend who was going to leave not her. My friend was amazed at how
smart she is. (but isn’t that one reason why shepherd owners love their
dogs!?!) Lexi is great with the cats and loves our old girl. Lexi has
learned that four stays on the floor and is getting better about coming
when outside, waits for the human to go through the door first and is a
terrific buddy. She still has some anxiety when we leave the house and
trashes her crate but every time we go it is trashed less than the time
before. Lexi is a quick study and eventually, she will stop doing this.
We really love this dog, from day one she decided that she was going to
stay and has all of those wonderful shepherd loyalties and devotions
that makes these dogs so special. Thank you for giving us the
opportunity to add this great little dog to our home.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
