Monkey/Daisy Update

Monkey is a medium to high energy boy. I fully expect that he will settle down with age. He is a sweetheart who absolutely adores the other dogs. He loves to play ball and will chase/bring it back as long as you are willing to throw it. He also loves to tug - he and Daisy were playing tug for about an hour two nights ago. I bought him a rope toy with two large tennis balls attached and he absolutely loves it. Unfortunately, he will bring it to me and sort of toss it at me to get me to play with him, usually hitting me in the head with the ball. ( ouch! ) He's an absolute love and a pleasure to have at the house.

Daisy is absolutely adorable and although she is smaller than what I am used to ( about 8 pounds ) she can definitely hold her own. She has no problem telling my Whippet where to go and offering fairly exact directions on how she can go about getting there. ;)

I can assure you that the Whippet is asking for it. She loves the IG's, but sometimes can get a bit too much for them. Daisy is fearless and has a lot of energy. Like Monkey, I am confident she will mellow a bit with age. She is not destructive at all but has discovered the toilet-paper roll and has decided that it's fun to stand and roll it out onto the floor. She also loves to play with toys. If you throw the tennis ball and she manages to get it before Monkey or Tango do, she will bring it to you, dance and show it to you. She is really, really smart and can sit on command, I discovered recently. The other bonus with Daisy is that, although you have to pick her up and put her outside, she will pee on command and even if she doesn't have to go, she will try to squeeze something out. This tells me that she is very eager to please and understands why she's out there. At this point, I put her out every hour because she is still quite young and needs to be reminded that we pee outside.

My own dogs are trained to ring a bell when they need to go out. Both Monkey and Daisy are very smart, easy to train and I feel could learn to do the same in no time.

I am still in the process of screening homes, this will not be a "first come, first served" situation. I will keep both of them as long as it takes to find the right home. If you are interested in either Monkey or Daisy, please feel free to contact me for a copy of my IG Handbook and a Rehoming Application.
