Domino's Journey

Hi all! It’s been too long since our last post so I thought I would update you guys on all things Domino! Dom is now right in between his 4 and 5 month ampuversary. He continues to sail along like three legs was just meant to be. I recently got a new job, which means longer days away from my puppers, but more days off during the week which is nice. So yesterday to celebrate we went to our local kennel clubs responsible dog ownership day and had a blast! I even got Dom to go through the weave poles on the agility course. Afterwards we went to Petsmart to pick out a new toy, the local dog bakery for some yummy treats, and then to the ice cream place for some “doggie treats” and ice cream for me. Overall it was a great day and the weather was amazing.

Today we had our monthly nail trim day at the house, much to the puppers dismay. And Domino got his monthly tail and feet trimming so he has a bit more traction.

Dom’s fear of men is greatly improved and he is very willing to meet new people while we’re on the go. We’re still entertaining the idea of joining the local therapy dog group, but with his random fear of men it worries me to put him in a situation that might set him off. I have learned that he is definitely my dog. I still live at home with my mom and step dad, yea I know… it sucks. And while Dom likes my mom and tolerates my step dad, he wants to be glued to my side! Yesterday at the responsible dog owner day proved that. It was the first time I had taken Domino and his big brother Finn to an event together. Since Finn is so large I took on the task of walking him while my mom walked Domino, and Domino couldn’t stay close enough to me. He pulled and tugged until he was near me. So that’s something we’ll have to work on.

So the update wasn’t so quick as I thought lol. I hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks so much for your support!
