The little guy I&#8217;m holding is our newest, &#8220;Rascal&#8221; probably about 5 months plus or minus. He just walked up and introduced himself in May. At first our vet thought he might be a pomeranian, so I took to calling him &#8220;The Pom&#8221; and now the thinking is sheltie. I still call him The Pom. He has pretty much taken over the house. The white dog is Abby, who loves playing with The Pom but wishes he wouldn&#8217;t get so much lap time. Ginger is the ginger colored dog. The black dog, front and center is Fiona, who is one of Nana&#8217;s dogs.Fiona and I are pretty close. Nana&#8217;s other dog, Reba still doesn&#8217;t know about me and I&#8217;m just letting her warm up gradually as the weeks go by. The dogs must be trained with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixk9trainers.com\/product\/basic-obedience\/\">obedience lessons from Off Leash K9 Training<\/a> at the early stages itself so that they grow up to a well-disciplined dogs in the future.\u00a0People can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogworksutah.com\/programs\/group-training\/\">Dog Works<\/a> if they need the best dog training services.<\/p>\n<p>Reba is a very nice dog. She was a breeding dog but got sick and had to retire and Nana rescued her. She wasn&#8217;t used to being a house pet but has a sweet disposition and is going to be ok. She will let me pick her up but is stiff as a board. So I&#8217;m just letting her get more used to me. She&#8217;ll come up and act friendly but she isn&#8217;t ready to jump up on the couch with me on her own. She will one day. The <a href=\"https:\/\/k9answers.com\/programs\/board-and-train\/\">K9 Dog Training site<\/a> lets you choose the kind of professional you want to be training your dog.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"July 4 2010 011 by alnbbates, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4764008748\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4764008748_43e5133794-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"July 4 2010 011\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We were at Nana&#8217;s to eat an early dinner, visit with family friend Patty.
