Good Dog Syndrome: Incurable and Adorable

Sassie continues to be a tour de force when it comes to exploring her surroundings and the people in them. You'd think she was performing an archaeological survey! She is determined to make a name for herself challenging Lewis and Clark, and even Wishbone himself, as America's greatest explorer. 

Her training is going greyt! She has figured out that if she puts her daydreaming on pause for a second and pays attention to her trainer, she can earn a tasty treat. She really thrives when presented with a challenge, so to keep her interested in her studies, she's now learning some extras like shake and bow. After all, what would a true lady of refinement be without being able to greet her loyal subjects and adoring fans with a flourish?

One of the best qualities about Sassie is that she has yet to meet a stranger. This past week, there was a meet and greet with people who are interested in applying to the program to become a trainer. It was so uplifting to watch Sassie bring a smile to everyone's face as she went from person to person burying her head in their lap while getting a good petting. She is such a special dog who has taken her joyful outlook on life and infected everyone she comes into contact with it. So be forewarned - contact with Sassie may cause uncontrollable laughter, intense smiles that last for days, and in some cases increased heart size. It's too late for her trainer - he says he's already exhibiting all the symptoms! #I'mDownWithThisSickness
