Bridger has gone home with the Holliday family of Dayton, Wyoming.
2/1/10
Greetings,
Bridger is growing growing growing! He is "sitting" on command, mostly "staying" on command, learning all about "laying down" and doing well in "heeling". Puppy treats are a great bribe! He knows his name now and quickly learned "no". I am so amazed by how smart he is. My son is teaching him the art of "fetch" and "release". He seemed to only have had one 'blue" evening where I just concluded that he missed his siblings :(
He had four potty accidents the first week he was here and none since then. He goes to the door when he needs to potty. My husband is very impressed. Bridger is such a lover. He is learning to love a bath too! Our Corgi just loves him and has taken on the job of "babysitting" him when they are in the backyard. ~Esther
