She's picked up so much in the time that we've had her; eat, water, yard, ball, toys, Nate, potty, sit, stay, up, lay down, off, come, quickly (when we have to walk across the street), easy ( when we're going down stairs or a hill so she slows down), wait, hey (when we want to get her attention and get her to stop), she hasn't mastered NO, but I think she is just choosing to ignore it, lol.
I've been walking her every day and playing with her. I'm picking up on her queues and she's picking up on my daily rhythm. She picks up on our emotions. My son had a very rough day and she was right by his side, cuddling and giving him kisses. She helps me feel protected so my anxiety levels are down, as are my pain levels. There is a difference between feeling calm and really feeling calm. What I thought was calm wasn't. It's like calmness switched on and once it did Allie listened better and our mutual trust grew. I look forward to many years ahead with this little stinker.
She's worth the time and energy and effort. How can you not love this face?
