Janet, Michael, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon are
10 week old
black lab mix puppies that were found abandoned on the side of the
highway in Chouteau. They were found huddled up against a
dead dog trying to stay warm. They are typical puppies.
They have just received their first round of puppy shots.
TITO is a wonderful 9 week old
black male lab puppy. We have had him a week and he is
already potty-trained. He "whines" when he wants to go
out and is very consistent. He sleeps through the night
by our bed on a pile of towels, which he claimed the
first time we did laundry. He has not cried once, which
is very odd, as most puppies have separation anxiety
from their siblings or mother. He loves the other dogs
in the house: a blue heeler, two other labs and a westie.
He gets right in the mix with all of them and is not the
least bit intimidated by his smaller size. He is a very
confident, secure puppy, and very lovable.
He has started chewing and is
very amenable to correction. We merely tell him no,
get his attention, and then give him a chew toy. It
only took him about three times and he learned what was
acceptable to chew on. (We'll see how consistent he
remains with this). He will make anyone, any age a
great companion.
