Thought I'd share this.
My dog is a Shitzu-Maltese mix; he is very cute, less than 3 months old and still a very small baby. He is in potty training and discipline training mode.
If I am on the phone, he knows not to bark. I love him for that. It doesnt matter if I am sitting down, standing up, pacing the house; phone = silent.
This week, he needed to go out... so he brought one of my shoes and put it at my feet, and then brought his leash to me.... I was on the phone! And he is looking up with this really cute look on his face. He is smart!!
My entire house in cooperation of the phonecalls. A 3-month old dog included!
Yesterday, very late at night, I was on the call and in another room.. and the lady on the other side was so nice we were laughing together... and he thought I was playing with him and he started barking (rare!) and the lady and I starting talking about Shitzu-Maltese.. She has one too. I told her the story very quickly. We joked that my doggie can make campaign calls now.. That lady is in PA and has friends in NC; she will talk with her friends. Also, during our call, she signed up to volunteer.
Have a great day. Cherish the lighter moments and enjoy the sunshine at least for 10-15 minutes a day. Take your LOYAL DOG out. Go for a nice run!
Thanks folks for all you do.
