Good morning mom and dad

    I'd like to share one of my favorite things about my B since it seems I complain most of the time about his tazie behavior. When our B first came to live with us he was sleeping on our daughter's bed but after he peed on it he started sleeping with us. We decided it best that he sleep on the floor in a doggie bed you know for hygenic reasons. Anyway one morning he woke up at the brake of dawn and started chewing up my clothes so I decided to put him on the bed with me so I can get some shut eye for a few more hours. He loved this. Now every morning as soon as he hears any movement he comes to my bed side, gently scratches me on the arm so I can lay him in bed with us. He goes right inbetween my husband and I. I love this!!! Moments like these make having such a wild, tazmanian, strong willed furry baby so worth all those moments of aghhhhhhh. Wish I was home with him right now. I tell you, I love this little brat.:rolleyes:

    Yea, aren't they the loveinest breed you have ever seen. My baby sleeps with me every nite when Dad runs us out of the bedroom. My hubby snores so LOUD, I have to get up and Sahara will follow, otherwise she is right between us. Sahara surfs my tables everyday and usually I find myself running after her for something she has stolen, and I get mad, but what the heck, I love her sooooooooo much, probably too much. She got my glasses today, I don't know how as I had them up high, she must of stretch herself out of joint to get those, haha!!!! Thank God she didn't scratch my lenses, she went out of the doggie door with glasses in her mouth, I thought I was going to lose it, but she dropped them, came back in and hubby held her while I went outside to pick them up. She gives us plenty of excerise, and at night we do the B-500 run as I am saying, "I am going to get you, Sahara". She loves to burn off energy this way, and I laugh until I am weak. She goes all over the house jumping on couches, chairs and anything in her way. Like, I said, "I LOVE THIS DOG"!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

    You have to love them in order to live with them. And honestly I feel like I may love our B too much also since I wish I could just spend every moment with him. Even when I'm running after him mumbling some not so very nice phrases, seconds later I'm wrapped around those little paws again. Yes that stetching of paws..have never seen anything like that. They are so much like cats in that sense…my dog even stretches like them. I feel like I have the complete pachage..a bunch of animals in our one B!

    Just wanted to give an update on my experience and hope that it helps others in the future. So I did get the puppy and have had her now for about 6-7 weeks. She is doing AWESOME! Shes completely healthy, and at 14-15 weeks, is incredibly obedient. For instance, I take her to the dog park, and she recalls every time I say "Nani come." There are also some agility obstacles in the park which I'm starting to train her on and she does really well with simple things like walking up, down, sitting, staying, gonig through the tunnels, etc… When I give her her food, I make her sit, stay, and give me a fist bump before she can eat, and I'll switch the order up every time. I then say "now you can have it" and then she eats. Its to the point now, where she is in the kitchen, and I'll go to my room, come back in 2-3min, and she is still sitting by the food and hasn't even touched it yet until I give the command. She is doing fantastic! Fantastic with other dogs, fantastic with kids, adults, everything. She doesn't have a tendency anymore either now to chew on things she's not supposed to and when she does get the urge, she looks for her toys. Not sure if this is just because the breed itself is very intelligent, or the breeder, or a mix of both but I couldn't have asked for a better puppy, especially the way she is now at the age of 14-15 weeks. My allergies also do very well around her whcih is HUGE! Not sure if I just got lucky or what, but she is great a puppy for how obedient she is already, her compassion, and her behavior. Just simply amazing :-)

    hopefully Dex is just teething. I worked very hard to keep toy-drive in Zest as it can make training easier and more fun. And she still often gets a treat for retrieving or tugging her toys.

    We just got back from 5 days in Maui. Had to put our Laika in a kennel which we found after a long search. It was not easy to leave her there, she did ok we think. But was so glad to see us. We really hated to do this as we adopted her from a kennel 6 month ago. All our travel will now be by car only so we can take her. My husband had to pat everydog he saw in Maui. She is his baby.

    Yes he is an attentionaddict. If I'm trying to exercise he either scratches my head, pulls my hair or trys to lay right on my mat and gets in my way. When my daughter tries doing her homework on the sofa, he'll pull on her books, bite the pages, corners, or paws at them to knock them down.
