Riley worked very hard in an attempt to complete the ten days of school work she missed while we were at 4 Paws training. She finished everything but the advanced reading. Just before we left, Riley was placed in the gifted category at school, testing higher in cognitive ability than the gifted teacher could remember a student ever testing. This means increased work, and work that is unfamiliar to her. She is perfectly capable of doing the work, but it was just horrendous to attempt it in the hotel room when she was tired and out of her element. She finished math, science, social studies, etc. After a couple of tries (and good “meltdown” practice for Jingle) we saved the advanced reading and associated writing assignments for home. Here she is, working on them at the dining room table yesterday, Jingle by her side. It was morning, and Riley wasn’t tired, and the fussing was kept to a minimum but nobody told Jingle to lie down there. No one gave her a treat. She stayed until Riley finished her work.
Good dog.
It really shows how loyal a dog really is!
That’s wonderful. It looks like Jingle can feel that she is home for good.
Oh Dear.
Obviously I’m really tired. Just cross out ‘can’ in my last comment!
Simply beautiful!
Sometimes… just having the pooch there can make a girl feel like she can do anything.
Again with the dog and the crying. Good dog, Jingle.
Now I’m crying, that blesses me. Good girl, good Jingle.
I’m reminded of the famous line, “That’ll do, pig,” from BABE.
That’ll do, Jingle.
Two good girls. Quite a match.
GOOD dog, and GREAT girl!
