It's been a little while since I did an update on Zulu so I thought I took a few updated pictures to share.Zulu's been with us for about a month now and we're still so glad we got him. Unlike in the beginning when he thought Dan was the best, Zulu's since warmed up to me and can often be found acting as my personal shadow. Of course since I work from my home, I have an advantage, but more importantly, Zulu likes to work for me and is always ready to go.
His adult coat is coming in and it's just beautiful. He still looks like a baby coyote, but his face and mannerisms are maturing and his eyes are incredibly expressive and are now a warm brown color (hard to see in these twilight pictures).
This next week our temperatures are going to be in the 100's, which is unheard of in Seattle. Poor Zulu's going to think we're back in Louisiana!
The dog room has it's own A/C unit so they'll be nice and cool. However, with temps like that, I'm probably going to have to cancel my classes as NOBODY is used to such heat, including the dogs. I guess if I'm going to practice, I need to get up at about 5:00 a.m. and get my butt out there!
For Zulu, I've got a 2x12' board inside so we can practice our contacts. I also need to bring a cone in so we can start working on some turn work...see, there's lots to do in the air conditioned house!
Hope everyone has a great week. Stay cool!
Zulu is a lover and a champ.
ReplyDeleteHe worked with my dog Buddy who is a BC/ lab mix and 8 years old. He is learning be cool and calm around other dogs.
Mr Zulu was calm and collected with this older barking dog.
Much to Buddies dismay it did not help that I was slobering all over Zulu.
Thanks to Zulu and Budddie I am forever in love with Border Collies.
