Sheeba

[Aspen and Misty]

I havn't read all the post, so please forgive me if I say anythign that was already said.

I am so proud of my Sheeba baby!!!!! She has offically fallin in lvoe with my dad and sad to say I think she likes him more then me Which is great that way my dad will never feel like he needs to worry about her. now of course Sheeba is my dog and because she does have some doggie issues will probly be an only dog most of her life, but I am totallty fine with that. Because she has fallin in love with my dad and we have talked it thourgh we now have a method of how to make her fall in love with the men in my family. Pretty much it consit of my dad or the man haveing treats in there pocket and any tiem they see Sheeba, they give her a treat. So men are now the people who give her treats and she follows them around like a little puppy dog. So adorable! i totally agree Micki! It isn't far to Sheeba to have to go back to the shelter because of somethign that happned on her first day, I mean come on this was her first day. Sunday has really changed our minds about her, we really think that she will be able to love men and all people! I can't wait to begin to work with her. I am going to call my trainer this afternoon and see what she thinks I should do and maybe she can give me some tips. I don't think she is agressive at all, I really do think that she is a huggable pup! LOl it was soooo funny. When yo uturn off all the lights and get into bed Sheeba turns into one big guard dog . My brother came home one night around 1 and as soon as he began to mess with the door Sheeba growled and lunged at the door and refused ot let him in (only does this at night when our bedtime things go on, liek turning off of the lights and getting into bed). Of course I pulled her away and my brother came in and once she relized I knew him she settled down right away! She is sooo protective of me, we really have seemed to click! Me and my dad have talked about it and we have deced to give her some time to settle in to the home and then see how she acts, the only last person to ask about it is my brother, who I'm afreid will say no because of the whole door incedent thing last night. And if he says no and says he is really really uncomfortble around her I'm afried my dad will make me take her back so I'm going to look on the interent for things that say how bad it is to give a dog back to the shelter and how it scars them and stuff (I know I've read it soemwhere). Also, I'm going to bring up the point that it only took her less then an hour of my dad carriing around treats to convince her he is nice. So I am going to try to convince them, wish me luck! I am goign to show him all the post on here about your guy's dogs, I know it will help convince him! But I do want to state one more time! If my brother says he is really uncomftble around her my dad will most likly make me give her up. And I don't think I will be getting another dog, I agree 100% with some of adoremydog's state ments. I don't think my parents are willing to work with a dog and I don't feel it is fare for another dog to coem into a home who is not willing to help it adjust, it is a big change for a dog and they need that time to get used to the people and place, and sometime, they need a little bit of help getting though some old habbits, but when your gettign an older dog you just have to learn to accept it, and I don't think my parents will exept that fact that dogs come with baggage, just like people.

tomkatzid- Tiffy was not my dog. I was puppy sitting and of course I asked for her back, but Mike acctaulyl gave her away, we are prayign to a good home!!

Well I'm going to take her into the backyard and play around and take some pictures of her!
