I wanted to thank you so much for letting Martha come to live with
Hoover and me. She has been a treat from the minute she walked
in the door. She chews every flap of skin Hoover has and when
she stops he bops her with his
My compliments to Gaetan - her housetraining is amazing! She's
very good on her recall but the bottom line is that she follows Hoover
everywhere anyway! We will keep working on her commands though
because I know how important those are. As a bonus -she's good
with carrots, melon and apple as treats and since those are all that
Hoover can have because of his allergies it helps that I don't have to
line up special treats for Martha.
Update April '10 ...
Just a quick update on my girl Martha! She's passed her first level
of obedience class and is still going strong. This little girl (now
11 months old) can jump straight up from a standing position and lick
the cheek of a six foot man. You'll see in the picture that she sits
beautifully with her graduation medal around her neck - but when you
ask her to sit she'll back up until she feels carpet under her back
feet before she sits! She is all energy, all personality and full of
love!!!
Update July ’11 … I've attached a few pics of the little athlete ... one where she's guarding our street from the couch.
The hole is in the back yard - she hides her toys there because Hoover is too big to get in and take them.
The swimming pic is at the cottage - she seems to think she can swim fast enough to catch a duck!
And of course, once again at the cottage, the inevitable pic of Martha putting her head where it shouldn't be.
Update March '13 We’ve been taking agility classes and Martha has now completed Beginner 1 and 2 and Novice 1.
She is now taking Novice 2 level classes and we’ll be doing some fun competitions this summer just to see what they’re like.
She’s smart and fast and generally leaves me in her dust but I love it and so does she!
