Summer with Callie

Lounging in Florida

Summer continues to be quite the adventure for Callie. She has discovered the joy of running outdoors, rolling in the grass, chasing birds and squirrels and of course BBQ’s. Everyday she becomes more confident, explores the yard on her own, takes treats from the neighbor (this is a really big deal because she was terrified of tall men). She has discovered hosta leaves are fun to eat (mom is not too happy about that one!).

Dining out in Florida

She will continue to add states to her travel adventures with a summer trip to Chicago and to Lake Superior. She wakes me in the morning with kisses, jumps on the other dogs to let them know another day of adventure is upon them!  She eats like there is no tomorrow, is as gentle as a mouse and has the voice of a schnauzer.  Next couple of weeks we will work on some basic commands of sit an stay….we needed confidence and trust before we could master these skills.  Callie is a wonderful, sweet (mischievous) little Schnauzer!

I need to add one more thing about Callie….she has obviously never had anyone sing to her….I sing to her every day (even though I am a terrible singer) and not only does her tail wag, her entire body wiggles back and forth in opposite directions.  She has actually fallen over she was wiggling so much….So to all you fosters and newly adopted parents………Sing to your dogs….it will makes you  feel like a rock star with adoring fans!!!!!
