After one dog-less week, we just picked up KIMA (pronounced Kee-ma). The prize goes to anyone who knows where that name came from....
Kima is about 10 weeks old and is an A.R.F special (aka, a mixed breed). She is super cute, and in the few hours that she's been with us, we've learned that she loves attention and loves to cuddle. She always wants to sit in your lap! She's learning about toys, and like Hutch and Starsky, loves the purple platapus, and the big snake that Hutch picked out at PetsMart.
Perhaps I'm jinxing myself here, but Kima seems to be able to "hold it." She also learned "sit" very quickly (using a treat, the command, and hand gesture all together), so I'm wondering if she hadn't learned this before... That, or I am a damn good dog trainer and should maybe re-think my career. Kidding.
We're going to try walking later tonight. Will provide an update later on crate training day 1... While "sit" and "lie down" may come easily, this may be more challenging... or not.
