Mason and Darcy Update-whew it has been hard teaching new tricks!

Hmm... I don't know what to talk about... well, I talk about Mason and Darcy-I haven't talked about them for quite a while. Mason is still as wild as can be. I have taught him to bow and am now he is learning to get an item that he is told to get. He has done really well on the new trick I am teaching him. Darcy hasn't learned any new tricks, because she is too stubborn to do them. She just looks at you like you are stupid when you tell you to something different other than walking on her hind legs. I keep on trying to teach her something new, but there's no guarantee that she'll do it. I understand why she is so stubborn- she is eight years old and I know her breed has a really hard time to comprehend new tricks. Dogs can be Dogs. lol

Jurassic Park Dog

Yesterday, it was thundering and lightning outside. Darcy followed me to the kitchen by the sink( very unusual, she doesn't walk over on the linoleum by the sink at all) She usually follows people when there are storms, and she pants all the time, because she is stressed during the storms. We call her Jurassic Park Dog when she does that because she looks like that T-Rex that is on Jurassic Park I. (the part that the T-Rex is chasing the Jeep.)

Mason and Darcy

I have 2 dogs. One is a Shih-Tzu and the other one is a Maltapoo. The Maltapoo's name is Mason. Mason is 6 years old. A Maltapoo is a combination of a Maltese and Poodle. The Shih-Tzu's name is Darcy. Darcy is 8 years old. Darcy is black and white with a few areas of grey. She is very quiet and also is independent. Mason is a totally the opposite of her. He barks quite a bit, even at the leaves, when a leaf falls off the tree. He likes to get belly rubs and when I give him attention, and then Darcy wants all of the attention. We have to give Darcy people food for her to eat, or she will not eat. I think that the hard food hurts her teeth because she never lost her baby teeth. Mason has to have people food mixed with his dog food, because he gets jealous of her because of what she gets fed. They still like to play a lot with each other, even though they are getting older.
