Foxy is really playful, but she is also is very smart. It only took a few days for her to repeat things I showed her. She sits, shakes hands with her right paw, and I say "other", and she switches. She will lay down and roll over. She now knows "front door", and "back door". I use this if she is in the front yard and I go inside, I tell her to go to the back door. Off she goes. She is also friends with the mail lady. Very gentle, but she can hold her ground Great watch dog, as she lets me know instantly if something is going on. She also knows all our times, as in getting up, going to work, and the time we get home. Anything different, and she responds to that. Matter a fact, if I don't get up at the right time, she wakes me up.

She is very smart. She checks out everything. Spoiled? Yes, of course.

Dylan, now Foxy, is doing real well. The vet here, figured at this time, she was 18 weeks old, so we are going with that date of birth. She can now sit, shake hands, and learning her name very quickly. She has adapted very well. The neighbor has a short Beagle-Lab mix next door, so they run the fence line together, and seem to get along ok. The neighbor even got Foxy a home coming gift of dog bones, and a few rawhide chews, alone with a squeak toy.

I thought you might get a kick out of this. [Foxy] was chewing on her new chew toy, and I saw this small looking, (I thought was) a white rock. Well, it was one of her baby teeth that came out.
