Yep. As I said, the name should be self-explanatory lol.

She's learned how to shake:

Well, sort'a:

Her most favorite thing in the whole world:

We're slowly making progress with her--as the old saying goes, &quot;two steps forward, one step back&quot;.

Her p.o. apparently encouraged her to engage in fairly rough &quot;mouth play&quot;, i.e. &quot;play biting&quot;. We've had a few light &quot;nipping&quot; incidents, but she hasn't aggressively tried to bite, she just <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> wants to play rough. This is proving to be the most difficult issue to break right now since she's so high-strung. She goes from 0-60 in a nano-second which makes it a bit of a challenge to reel her in.

I've had to resort to submission holds a few times to get her to calm down, but Rachel doesn't have a firm handle on doing that yet.

I can definitely see why the p.o.'s mother was nervous around this one. So far she's been fantastic with dad, she hasn't been overly-aggressive with him at all--she goes into full submissive puppy-mode when she's around him, but she's still all wiggles and squirms. Dad's been around dogs all his life, so he's not afraid of her at all...we just have to watch <span style="text-decoration: underline">him</span> like a hawk with her because he'll also encourage the rough play if we let him (think &quot;grandpa&quot; spoiling a grand-kid).

What a pretty doggie. Great name.

Now you need a second dog named Alfalfa to croon to her: &quot;Im in the mood for love&quot;.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

It's not as if there were ever any question as to whether or not Labrador Retrievers like water... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

(No, she didn't bite through the hose, it's got a hole in it from a kink)

Goofy dog.....(click the pic)

I can't wash my car with my Labs in the area as they must bite the water stream of the hose! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

She came inside shortly after I took that video. I was sitting in my office and a few moments later I heard her grumbling by the front door. I got up to see what was going on...she'd spotted a baby rabbit in the front yard munching on some weeds just a few feet from the door. A few more grumbles...then the rabbit spotted her.

It sat up on its haunches, stared back at her as if to taunt her with a postural <span style="font-style: italic"> neer ne neer ne neer neer</span> and continued to munch on the weeds.

She grumbled again in disgust and walked away from the door.

I got a little bit of it on video as well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I hope for that rabbit's sake it doesn't unintentionally cross her path in the <span style="font-style: italic">back</span> yard...ain't no screen doors back there for it to hide behind. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Can't wait to meet this lil girl [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]. I am pulling the 442 carb we discussed this evening and I will contact you to bring it over - maybe this weekend?

Spoiled rotten.

Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

Aren't they all. To some of you who don't have any two legged kids, these ARE OUR kids so they deserve to be spoiled.

Re: New addition to the family, need help with a name
 

Our grand daughter just got this little shepherd pup - 7 weeks old. She'll only have it for 13 months (hopefully) while she trains it to be an assist dog for a sight impaired person. Our Cavalier is next to it.
