Lounge Hound

Ace’s training this week has been focused on getting him to sit properly. He doesn’t seem super confident yet in the strength of his hind legs (it’s an unnatural pose for these long-legged creatures), so his sits have been a little off-balance. He has been working really hard on this one, though, and his trainer is working diligently with him to straighten out the motion with a good, stable posture so that Ace feels confident while sitting and holding the position.

Otherwise, Ace is coming along just fine! Still no interest in toys, but he loves to run and is beautiful to watch. He is very fast for a retiree! He’s also a proficient lounge hound; he has no problem being in his kennel or on a day bed for 10-16 hours a day. His trainer still wouldn’t call him lazy, though, because he will get up and walk around. He just doesn’t mind the lounging!
