Training

When Zip first came to my house, his first fostermom told me that he needed to learn some manners so that is what we've been working on. I think I mentioned in previous posts that he now sits for his food. What he has recently learned on his own is to sit about 10-feet away from where I'm preparing his food until it's ready. Then he follows me into where he eats and sits before I tell him and doesn't move until I tell him it's okay to eat. He has also learned to stay out of the bathroom when I'm getting dressed in the morning and to gently take his bedtime treats from my hand.

Zip is a big boy who rushes to do things because he is so eager to please. He has these beautiful brown eyes that are always trained on you to tell him what to do. He is going to make his future family an excellent companion. Oh, and he walks like a dream.
