We have a new
puppy. Zozi is her name and she is a fine Boxer puppy to keep Brin company. We
refer to them as ‘BriniZozi’ as in ‘Brangelina’.
Zozi is much
smaller than either of the ‘boys’ were; she is also very quiet, doesn’t like
the cold, the wet or the mud. I hope she will grow out of it, but she could be
a Little Missy.
Brin is being the
perfect gentleman and doesn’t seem to mind if she nibbles him here and there
(yes, even there)!
It’s lovely
having a puppy but puppies are such hard work. They eat, poo, wee, play, sleep
all day and all night. They jump on the sofa, hide under the bed, steal your
scarf, and bark at the postman.
Zozi is working
very hard at being a Good Dog Citizen. She sits on command, understands ‘no’
and ‘leave’ and ‘down’, although I have had to be a shouty Mummy from time to
time. We have started taking her on short walks, just 10 minutes, to get her
used to the collar and walking to heel. She loves going out.
And tomorrow
night, we start puppy classes. We’ll see how that goes. The ‘boys’ were asked
not to return to puppy class as they were too disruptive. Taking two Boxer
puppies to training class at the same time was perhaps a bit ambitious. Zozi
should be a doddle!
