Lulu (formerly known as Lola) is a kick. More of a Lupity Lu! She is adapting well, took right to us. Is now relaxed more and so her true personality is coming out. She had been trained at one time to sit, lie down, stay, and to walk at heel. At first she wasnt' doing these things, she was so hyper - but now that she knows she is in her forever home - she is calmer and doing her tricks. I have had to train her not to jump on me but to wait for an invitation to come onto my lap. First couple days she paid no attention to my pushing her off, she'd just pop right back up. But by yesterday afternoon - she had learned. Buddy had a few words with her when she tried to eat from his dish - I don't think she'll do that again. Mostly she ignores Buddy - she thinks he's a baked potato or a rock or something. Of course, that's the way he acts much of the time..... LOL Nikki is a different story. They wrestle, chase each other, Lulu follows Nikki around the garden like a little sister. They have even learned to play tug of war over shared toys. This is so good for both of them. But, when it's nap time, Nikki goes and snuggles with Buddy and leaves the other doggie bed for Lulu. We have been having a barrel of fun - except for walking on the leash. We need lots more practice with this. By next week, we should be able to have it conquered. Then we'll go back to the country for our long walks.
