Doggie influence

[hotwine]

Back in Feb, we became foster family for a TSA bomb-sniffer puppy..... beautiful dog, part lab, part Viszla (Hungarian hunting dog), bred for explosives detection... shows hyper activity from the lab with a phenomenal nose and speed from the Viszla. One high-maintenance female! Twice-daily walks of at least a mile each, lots of play and lots of fun. But she's sure cut into my note-taking time! She seems fearless, but strangely enough, when I take her to the cellar, she stands at the top step and gives me this look of "You want me to go where and do what?" Have not been able to coax her into that dark dank space..... I could drag her down there, but don't want to traumatize her. She really is one smart puppy! But her trust certainly has its limits!
