    Tiger update

    Ok, I had Tiger tonight from 530 until 945.  We played inside, we went for a walk, we went back inside, then we went to the dog park for about 2 hours.  Tiger played and had so much fun.  Play-break-play-break...you get the idea.  We headed home, I knocked on the door and his owner came out.  Instead of going to her, he went to my apartment door.  He ignored her for like 5 minutes.  Xerxes was more interested in going inside her apartment than Tiger was.  I felt like shouting to her "See what positive reinforcement can do?!?!?!" 

    Instead I talked with her about the benefits of +R and exercise.  At least I know he'll sleep well tonight with no acting out.

    Im glad you are helping this boy out! Do you think this woman will let you have Tiger? I think he'd be much better off with you anyway!

    I think she's going to see that Tiger would prefer to be with me.  But I doubt she'll relinquish him.  I think she wants a dog in her place at night to "protect" her.  Tiger is not protective at all.  In fact he's the most people oriented dog I've ever been around.

    Before I take him on though, I've got to get a bigger place.  I've already got a puppy reserved for next year.  (Xerxes breeder is planning another litter...her Glitter and a very handsome male whose name I can't say in public yet.) 

    It's still funny to see that my downstairs neighbors and I are taking better care of HER dog than she does.  It's usually a race and whomever gets home first takes Tiger out.  [:)]

    I have to say congrats to you and all your neighbours for being so caring to Tiger, and doing every thing you can to make him happy.

    Im love to read your posts about Tiger!  He is gonna end up wanting to llive with you though, or already does. 
     
    A couple down the street got a daschund (sp?) and kept it tied to a tree all day and when my mom and I would walk Kayla and Minnie it would bark and bark like crazy.  We felt very sorry for this dog so one day the owners were outside and we offered to walk it and they said no.  Uhhh, ok.  ? 
     
    Its great what your doing!
