Achilles

Achilles is doing very well here. He was very shy at first but has adapted very well. He still needs more socializing but we are working on that when we can. He plays hard with our Bassett/Chow mix pup (his buddy) and loves to kiss on our older guy Jake. His potty training was easy, he did do the excited piddle, but for the most part his is over that. One issue we have and will probably battle for a long time is him chewing up stuff. Between him chewing up my table and chairs and other wood products and Shaka chewing up shoes and bags, we have to be more careful as to what we leave out. Achilles and Shaka work very well together at getting into trouble together and it's funny, because when I find something tore up, I just have to hold it up and ask who did it and whichever one did it will hang their head and hide under the end table. It's hard to be mad at them when they act like that. :) The plan right now is to enroll him in obedience training through a Lawrence group, we may add Shaka in on it as well. But since we adopted Achilles, he has gained some weight (because he is a PIG) and gotten a little bigger. His coat has gotten darker as he gets older. He is becoming an even prettier dog than he already was. He loves to be outside, but only for short amounts of time, he gets hot or something and can only handle short spurts. He does very well being in the front yard (no fence), if he goes near the street, all we have to do is yell his name and he backs off and turns around. All in all he is a very smart dog, yes he has his moments, but he keeps us entertained. Thank you for what you do and I hope the pics are what you are looking for.
