Well for those of you who remember that little ornery, rambunctious puppy with too much energy on his hands, Bow, he has been with us for 6 years as of yesterday!!!
Wow how time flies!! And what a wonderful, well-behaved gentleman Bow has turned into. He's smart, handsome, energetic when it's appropriate, and snuggly when it's appropriate, but still barks too loudly for my neighbors' enjoyment!
He still does not like other male dogs in his face, and is very wary of strangers bending over the top of him. That kind of interaction with strangers still makes the fear aggressive monsters in his closet creep back to the surface. But. . . I work hard to shield Bow in any new situations -- that include new dogs and new people.
He has won the hearts of his agility instructors -- they love his live-life-to-the-fullest cairn attitude! He loves his new baby sister Ivy -- she can usually entice him into a wrestling match! Bow loves to do freestyle -- and playing in the sprinkler and hiking are still his MOST favorite activities!
Thanks to all of you who helped Bow come into Col. Potter and then to come into our home! He's certainly brightened it up and made it more lively. Bow's taught me almost more than I wanted to know about terriers, but he's made me a smarter woman!
Happy Summer and hugs to you all,
Heidi and Bow in California
