After I had already logged off I remember that I should have
added a proviso to my statement about Smokey. He only does
this inside the house. Out in the yard, or in the car, he'll gladly
take a treat from me. Sometimes I ask for a "sit" or whatever
but not always. Smokey is now one year & a few months old.
He was 8 wks when I adopted him in Sept. 2002. He's always
been a quirky little guy, but very lovable. He's still very
distrubed(scared) of fire hydrants. I have no idea why, but he
always wants to cross the street if we pass one on a walk.
I never give him a treat when I leave him, so I don't think that's
why he won't take one freely in the house. Maybe he's been
over drilled on his puppy class subjects. LOL. I'm a good mom
honest. He's just so different than Buddy was, like night &
day. Liz.
