another day at the friend's house.  She spent parts of the day running loose or on a long line running and playing with bear or my work gloves.   then sleeping in the truck.

wonderful little dog - so well behaved.    left her inside  for all of 30 minutes.  and found a glove on the kitchen floor.

Spaniel and people - info

may have a problem with Men.  Woman she is shy and a bit timid, But Men she is fierce , yippy, jumpy, and hateful.

Quincy shelter was all woman and not 1 growl or bark.  Dollar store was way busy and she was quiet and friendly - no men.  FK store she did bark at 1 guy  who was nice and talked softly to her and was able to pet her.  Thrift store was all women.

P - info

true lap baby --  spends  the  evenings curled up with me in a recliner or office chair.

loves to play - she prefers  to chew on fingers -  chews and  chews  on her plush  squeakys  and  will chase  a  ball  till  she  drops.

learning to tolerate  the house kittys.  Little  kitty   is nosing up to her  and  sharing a  chair.   Big  kitty  is hateful. : (  !

she is NOT a begger - while she  eats  up  biscuits and duck jerky - she does not bother with people food!  now if only she would eat her dog foods.

she now knows how to get into the house from kitty pen thru the doggy  door -  needs  to  learn how  to go  out,

P in the truck 00400-411

Spaniel climbed rite into pickup truck cab.  she  figured out how to go from the seats to the inside shelf thru the slide window to the outside shelf --  in and out - out and in - in -out - and down into the box  back up on the shelf - left  to right and right to left.
traveling is a real snooze -- she simply curls up on the inside shelf and sleeps all the way (safety chain to her harness).

(helping clean-up a yard)   parked the truck in the back yard.  walked her around showing her the place.  left her in the truck - leash to her harness - leash to safety chain.  she went   front to inside shelf to back shelf and out thru the pipe sides down to the ground  I  said  - NO, NO, NO,  puppy  stays IN  truck box NOT  allowed  out thru the sides.  so  I  picked her up and  stuffed  her  back   in  thru  the  pipes (the way she slipped out) and back onto the shelf .  a  tap  on the  nose and state the rules.  

She  spent  the  day  either in the truck or out on a line in the grass.  absolute doll - no trouble at  all (well that 1 slip thru the side).

no problems, no fuss, no  barking - even with the hounds next door, she was perfectly quiet and well behaved.
