WOW.. I'm so tired! I went over to my sisters house this weekend to babysit Mercedes and Bentley, because her husband took her to Vegas for her 21st B-day. I drove there Friday morning and I just got home a couple hours ago.. of course I brought Gonzo, so I had to keep up with 3 hyper dogs. I seriously can't imagine how some of you do it
Saydee and Gonzo got along really well! They played a LOT in the yard, while Ben hung out in the house (he gets over-heated really quickly, and it was 80+ outside). I know I haven't posted pics of Saydee FOREVER.. shes soo cute! I think she's the closest resemblance to Kay's Kiara that I've ever met. And, I'm 99% sure she doesn't have much Border Collie in her blood.. she does have a slight undercoat in some areas (on her butt and her neck/chest), and she has the white blaze and chest. But her face is sooo Pittie!! I think she's 1/2 Pit Bull, 1/4 Border Collie and 1/4 Rottie (because of her rusty markings)... with some other breeds thrown in, too.
It was sooooooo sad, I took Gonzo and Saydee to this small dog park thats about a 2-minute drive away, and Saydee was so petrified. She was just painfully shy. I know my sister has taken her places and taken her out to socialize her on a DAILY basis, every day wherever they can go. She's even taken Saydee to work a lot, and runs with her daily. But, Saydee's behavior definitely goes to show how important it is to socialize puppies. She is SO uncomfortable anywhere that she hasn't spent a long time at... she has been to the dog park a few times before, but she still acts scared and just runs around with her tail tucked and freaked out. Gonzo had fun at the park, there was only 4 dogs there, but Saydee growled and ran from any dog that approached her it really worries me. She's SO sweet and confident at home or at familiar places, but it seems almost impossible to get her used to going to strange places. I feel so bad for her. In case you missed it, my sister adopted her from the county shelter in February, when Saydee was around 5-6 months old and listed as a "Border Collie Mix". She was found as an emaciated stray, and she still eats her food like she's starving!!
