Achilles-1995-11/2008 Achilles was the first dog I owned after I moved out on my own. After I bought my first house, I went down to the animal shelter to look at dogs. He was sitting in the middle of his kennel shaking, and wouldn't even respond to his name (which was Kasper at the time). I asked to see him, and he was so happy to be out of the kennel. The shelter staff said "let's walk him by the cats and see what he does", since I had a kitty at home already. He dug in and did not want to go back into the kennel area. We did get him into the cat area, and he totally ignored them. There was no way I was going to leave him there. The only info on him was that his previous owners didn't want him anymore. He had no idea what his name was, and he had obviously heard the word sit, but no one had taught him what it meant. He also had not been allowed in the house much, as when I got him home and in the back yard, he wouldn't come back in. When I called him, he came to the door, but looked at me like I was tricking him, trying to get him in the house. |
He learned his new name immediatley, and anything else I wanted him to learn. He just needed someone to actually teach him!
He loved to play with the neighbor dogs, Wolfie and Keiko.>>>>>>>>>>>
He also loved to play with his brother Hector.
Achilles and Jackaroo are having fun playing too.
