Lucas and his dog.
WOW, have we been busy!! The time has really flown by since Easter, and now here we are in April already.
Lucas was home for Easter vacation the last week in March. He enjoyed sleeping past 6 a.m., and had a great time with his dog, Dixie.
Lucas really loves Dixie, and during the week he was home, Dixie started begging for food!
It’s possible of course, that Dixie learned this trick from her previous owners. We did get her from the SPCA, and she was between one and two years old when we got her. But she never did it at our house until Lucas was home for Easter vacation.
Now, every time Lucas sits down, Dixie sits up and looks at him hopefully with her big, brown eyes.
The problem is, Lucas doesn’t know the difference between giving Dixie a little piece of tortilla chip, and giving her a little piece of spaghetti! So we’re working on teaching him what’s okay to throw to his dog (dry, hard food), and what’s NOT okay to throw (moist, soft food LIKE SPAGHETTI!)
One step forward and one step back is a way of life with Lucas. But we’ll take it, because those steps forward are so wonderful!
