Summers Web Journal

This is my Blog about me and my new little sister Cricket. She is a rat terrier/chihuahua mix. She is called a RatCha. They call her a designer dog. Now why doesn't that make me a designer dog, I am a labrador/golden retriever mix. so that would make me a Golden Lab right. Mom said she considers me a designer dog. If she were to design a dog, it would be one just like me, but maybe just a bit smaller than what I am and a lot larger than cricket. Maybe about the size of a Beagle.

Well it has been 4 days and Cricket is doing good with her training. Mom has been working with her with the leash, the watch command and reward marker. This is a sound or noise you make to let your dog know she has done something right. Similar to clicker training. She is doing really good with this. Mom makes her stay and Mom will walk clear across our back yard and our yard is hugh and make the clicking noise with her tongue and Cricker comes running. She does really well for being close to ten months old. The reward marker wouldn't do me any good since I can't hear a dang thing, but there is nothing wrong with my nose especially with those special human grade beef jerky pieces made for dogs Mom getrs at Gourmet Pets, but they are so tiny Mom will give me one and it is like a grain of salt. They are perfect for little Cricket, but man I can barely taste them. Mom knows I shouldn't have that kind of stuff, but I am 14 yrs old and don't how much longer I am going to be on this earth she thinks I deserve a little pleasures in life. So far I haven't had any problems with the treats.
