Gypsy's new thread

Hi guys!!
Thought I'd start a new thread, out of adoptions because that's not us anymore
Have some more good news!! It's a small victory, but...baby steps right???

Gypsy was lying down under the highchair--which is NOT a regular thing, btw,she was asleep there, so I let her be. My daughter leaned over to give her a cookie. She woke up(of course ) and sniffed the cookie--then LOOKED RIGHT AT ME and put her sweet little head back down!!!

Can you believe that?? We have been working on the difference between "no" , "gentle" and "o.k.".....I'm so proud of her, I just had to share!!!
I know I'd never leave her unattended with the girls, ever!! especially not with food, but I can't believe she's showing such good restraint already!!This dog LOOOOOOVES food, especially "people food" .

Yay!!!!

I am truly happy for you and Gypsy and wish you continued success. She sounds like she's certainly doing her part! Way to go both of you for the tremendous effort!

Twinmommy you ROCK, You have really made a difference in Gypsy and should be proud of her and yourself especially for not giving up without a fight. You set a great example of what can be done when you put your mind and heart into it.
