Hi All
Its about time I told you how things are going with Saki and the family.
Well I can keep it very short, its going remarkably great! But I’ll tell you a little more J
He is a super boy that is much to smart for comfort sometimes. I wonder if at his old home he could open doors? I would love his old owners to email me about him so if they are reading this now please do. We have round handles on the doors so its not an option for him to open them but I did seen him looking at them in a wishful way so he seems to know what they are for.
We had to buy a new rubbish bin. Our old one was an irritating thing that went open automatically when you got close to it. All very well if your intending to throw something away but if you are just standing near it making dinner it was a pain in the butt LOL. I bet you have guessed that Saki found out how this unique feeding bin worked in no time so it had to go.
Now we have a smart new one with a pedal. My sister-in-law Dora mentioned teaching Saki fly-ball wouldn’t be a good idea as then he’d learn how to open this bin too ;-) I wouldn’t be surprised if he leant this irrespective of the fact that he wont be getting fly-ball lessons….
Beach walks are getting better all the time. Dora and her puppy Tiki always go with us too. Its quite a sight to see 7 dogs having the time of their lives!
When Saki is going somewhere or to someone we don’t want him to we still run like silly idiots the other way screaming and yelling for joy making him realise we are much more fun to be with. My god we are getting fit ;-)
In the mean time my last 3 Lagotti that are still in Holland waiting to be the right age to come over can nearly arrive!!! They are planned to come on the 26th of June and should be coming home 30 days later. I cant wait to see them! See how they have grown and what they are like in real life now nearly mature. Hopefully they will fit back into the group just as easily as it went with Saki.
I wonder if my dogs will recognise them again. In Holland when I went to Lagotto club meetings it always amazed me that Kiwi (my Estrela girl who loved all the litters) would see so many Lagotti enter the hall and she would just lay patiently next to me while I was talking to friends. Then suddenly she would jump up and start crying and tugging at her lease and sure enough when I looked who had just entered it would be one of “her pups”! And people say dogs are dumb…..
Oh I haven’t told you about how Saki sits on his opponent. Haha you haven’t seen anything so funny as that. Be it Kiwi or little Rowi or even Tiki he can render is opponent helpless in one quick sit! Haven’t got a decent photo of this yet but one nearly doing his thing I can show you.
Sakis name is south African and it means King. I think its such a lovely name. But sometimes I think something meaning clown would have been very appropriate for him.
I haven’t had the courage to leave him alone with the rest of the dogs yet. I think he will be a bit of a demolisher. If I’m at home and I see him carrying a shoe or what ever a simple “no” is sufficient. But when not home he’ll taste them well Im sure. He’s not what Id call naughty, just plain inquisitive and always very hungry….. Oh gosh that brings me to the story that he shouted all the dogs to a 3 kilo lunch of meaty goat bones…. That was when I found out he could also open fridges LOL.
There is no peeing inside. He learnt that extremely quick, my adorable puppy.
He isn’t looking any better at the moment because parts of his fluffy coat is coming though in patches and the rest looks the same dark shaven hair. So from a distance he looks like he has some horrible skin disease HAHAHA.
Last Monday Kate, Bill and I started doggy school. Kate with Rowi, Bill with Rusty and I ended up unexpectedly taking a bloody Estrela again LOL. I was going to take a lovely easy Lagotto but then came Saki…..
It went really well and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. For Bill and Kate it’s the first time they have been to dog school. They did really well, good for them!
Oh and Dora I mustn’t forget. She went too only in the puppy class with Tiki so we don’t see much of them in the hour we are training. Her teacher is expecting them to do no less that perfect in the lessons as she had looked up Lagotto on the internet and read how intelligent and easy to train they are. Ha ha Poor Dora, but I actually think they will do REALLY WELL as Tiki just adores Dora and loves to please her. Very cute!
Well that was enough of me rambling on. Till the next update with hopefully some self made photos as I just found my camera back.
CHEERS!
It’s a few days later and didn’t get round to posting this so as a foot note I can tell you that Saki spent a few hours with the other dogs at home today with no humans. I gave them lots of bones and this seemed to work! Pffff that’s another step closer to Saki’s perfection ;-)
