Rippa and Daca were fighting pretty consistently for a while but now that's calmed down and they're buddies. We've all figured out what our roles are. Daca is actively seeking out new visitors to love on and get pets from, and I do think that shortly enough, she'll have unlearned her fear aggression - though of course not shortly enough for her previous owner or for me and Yishai (who all are heartbroken over this).
Reid's doing well in his home, still a tank, going into schools as a show-and-tell outreach with Kathryn who brings in animals. Emma's apparently also becoming a tank. Piper has learned SO many tricks and Bekka is in love. Rippa's awesome - she has all these funny little Rippa quirks but is one heck of a solid pupppy. And Moto's still sending me emails!
Rippa looking a bit awkward at the 10k:
Schipperke's are really cool dogs, if I am to have a little dog again after Emma it will be a Schipperke or a Lancashire Heeler. LH's are really big dogs in a tiny body, reminds me a bit of aussies.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that Daca is making such progress! She sounds so sweet I would take her in a heartbeat if I lived closer to you and you approved me as her forever home ;) She seems to have all the qualities I like in aussies and I bet she would be a killer obidience and tracking/search dog. Searching for people might be a good thing for her too, being reserved and all. Then she will be able to learn that humans can be found in the forest just to be played with and feed her chicken. :-)
