BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! BRACE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!
« on: January 13, 2006, 10:09:10 pm »
ok.  as most of you probably know....angus has been QUITE the demon dog.  terrible with strangers, friends, dogs, cats, cows, the wind, the cell phone, someone he thinks he sees or thinks he hears....

WELL, you might also know i moved back to missouri where i have had some wonderful hel pand support from my mom, and have tried VERY hard to get angus on a good healty track. 

TODAY, MY SISTER CAME OVER WITH BABY MAGGIE.......T HEY MET, AND THEY FELL IN LOVE! 

did you get that?  angus with a strange dog he TRIED to EAT a month ago, and they now run around and play and snuggle. 

SO, i have attached some pix of angus, cody, and maggie playing!  hope you enjoy as much as i do.  you have no idea the joy i have felt today after a year of having an antisocial dog......he FINALLY let another dog into his space and loved on her.  i can't explain the feelin it gives you!

Angus looks like a real Saint Bernard.  Do you think Maia can come stay with you so she will like other dogs?
Thanks,

That is terrific news and I am hugely thrilled for you! 

Believe me, I know exactly how you feel - the only dogs that Ranger doesn't get into trouble with are ones that act enormously submissive to him, and I have wanted to cry with joy every single time he has been nice to one. 

Angus has come a long way due to your hard work, and you should be very proud of both of you!

I love that 2nd photo, the one where Maggie looks like she's kissing him on the cheek!

Maybe Angus is behaving better because he's not as confident of his new territory? Hope he carries on being a good boy.
