First Week of Progress
/So, Baby Sansa's (we'll just call her that going forward) first summary from the prison has arrived. Oh, and what an impression she has made with the inmates, those training her as well as those in the dorm! Just as I suspected! Here, in one of those inmate's words, is her first report:
Lady Sansa is a fitting name for a dog who any common peasant can see is descended from royalty. This is made obvious by the fact that grown men can't help but kneel before her in hopes of being allowed the privilege to bestow upon her a gentle pet or perhaps receive a tail wag of acknowledgement.
As for me, when I first laid eyes on her I felt a rush of emotion pass through me. It was almost more love than I could bear . . . pure magic! Seriously, she is the sweetest puppy! Her coat is this amazing shimmering blend of warm brown tones that reminds me of a north Georgia autumn. To put it in layman's terms . . . she is so freaking cute!!!
As far as training goes, we are working on leash and kennel behavior since she has never really experienced either. Right now the kennel is seen as a box of oppression but with time it shall become her fortress of solitude where she can take refuge and channel her inner Greyhound.
To sum it all up Sansa has bonded fairly quickly with our team and is learning that life has boundaries. All while acting like a "big girl" even though she cuddles with her teddy bear every night when she sleeps!
She is such a doll and we are all infatuated with her!
So, as you can see, she is well loved, well taken care of, and is learning scads. Rumor is she already knows "sit" - on command!! I am so proud!
