how smart is Annie?

How smart is Annie? VERY smart...

We make our dog wait in her crate while we are making her food, or making our own food- as she has the bad habit of standing between us and the counters waiting for dropped food. So we've been making Annie lay down outside of the kitchen while we're in there doing stuff- and she gets it! She is very perceptive. Although she doesn't fully know the command stay- she understands what we're asking her to do and she does it. She shows some really great potential.

Annie also loves to cuddle she ise sneaky about slowly climbing onto the couch to get in our laps.

She is starting to play with toys too- its really cute. She walks over to the toy box, sllloowwwly pulls it out then goes to town tossing it around and chewing. She still loves to fetch. and STILL doesn't pull on leash.. Its amazing. I've never seen a dog heel so well without lots of formal training. In a way, I'm just waiting for her to realize she can pull and go faster :)

Also- Annie meet a cat at Petmac the other day. The little bugger kept running up to her to smack her repeatably in hte face! So we'd have to separate them... but good Annie never show any response.
