Focus

So...I really didn't intend to blip the little boo's behind (sorry) - but look at that stance. So...focused; so...attentive. If only he wasn't so stubborn, and temperamental, and...silly - he'd have made a great show dog.

But I'm too lenient, and he's too much of a baby. He's easily one of the smartest dogs I've ever had, but he is by far the most stubborn. Recently, he learned how to "speak" on command. Did I mention he's almost 10 years old? Like I said - stubborn. He actually learns new things quickly, but he doesn't have the patience for training. He's easily distracted and bored. He has doggie-ADD. Anyway, it's so funny, because he has this loud, high-pitched, ear-piercing bark. But when he "speaks" it's almost like a whisper; it's mostly air and hardly any "RUFF". He likes doing it so much, he "speaks" after every other trick now. He really is the cutest thing ever.
