Evan's Progress Report
Mom said it's time to give me a progress report even school has not started yet. She said I definately would be promoted to next grade level (Guess we're kind of home schooling?) I got an A on table manner 101 class because I have learned not to bite people's finger anymore when taking food from them. Usually mom gave food to whoever sits quiet the first, so I tried my best after watching Echo and Etta a few times. I also got an A on following house rules and basic comments. I learned "down" after "sit", and now am working on "stay." However mom said that grooming's the part that made me an honor roll student. I lay by mom quietly after our night walk so she can wipe my paws, trim my hair or do other stuff to make me look handsome and feel good. Mom would sing songs and stroke me for a while. Sometimes I even felt asleep. My hair has became shinning and all the sun damage parts are gone.
Seperation is hard for me, still. I simply block the front door so mom cannot sneak out anywhere. However I saw her digging all Ceaser Millan's books out to review how to be a strong pack leader. So when storm comes and I turn to a rabbit, mom still does what she needs to do without giving me hugs or kisses (I know she really wants to do so!) In order to reduce my anxiety level, I'm on minor dosage of medicine, and we have started to take long walk in the morning before it gets too hot. It's very difficult for mom to get up early but we have seen good result on me after a week. Mom hopes to soon see good result on her waist as well.
It's not easy to be an urban pet. But we have the whole summer to work on my lessons and it proved I'm a gifted student! We hope everything's going to be on the right track when mom returns to work in mid August. Mom and dad are SO PROUD of me that I got a new dog house for gift! Not Echo's old crate anymore! Yippy!

Sounds like you are doing well Evan, you should celebrate by getting into the trash!!!!
We will be heading out for our morning running as soon as the rain quits. We do the same thing, usually in the morning or late at evening is play hard and exercise time and in the afternoon is lay in or around the lake and be lazy time. It works out good and we are always better behaved when we are tired out.
Keep up the great work Evan and Mom,
Buddy and Orbit

I've read all your blogs on Evan. He has a very mysterious background and temperment. His progress is great. Soon, he'll fit right in and some of his behaviors will disappear. I adopted a Golden named Rusty, he looked like Duke of the Bush Beans ad. He was a mess, but in the end all those bad temperments went away, although he did know how to really play, but you work around the minus and accentuate the postives. Good luck to you all ^..^
