Life with Milo

One of my friends wrote a comment about how Milo might be getting the 2 of us nuts due to the absence of new posts. It wasn't his fault, as our lives are pretty... stable, but there is actually a lot going on, our former-neighbors are in town and all dinners+lunches and activities we've been doing together. But let's talk about Milo.

Milo is doing fine, he is surprisingly intelligent considering his age and breed (lhasas are not known for their intelligence). In just a few days he was capable of understanding where he is, what time he eats and where he should do his business. He doesn't even whine or bark when we get home! Nipping and biting is still inevitable, but great progress was made compared to 2 days ago, as it seems he understood that our hands are not nipping-proof as his siblings were. He did not chew any furniture (yet) and is learning that only toys are fun to bite.

And cutest thing: he learned to fetch and bring things back to us. Every book I read emphasized the importance of praising him when he does something right, so please do not take into account my crazy stupid voice.

Leitores brasileiros, tudo que aprendi sobre cachorros tem sido em inglês. Sei que há coisas que são facilmente traduzidas, mas whine & cry são verbos diferentes, e nip e bite também. A casinha é o crate e não fazer as necessidades em lugares errados é ser housebreaking. Vivendo e aprendendo cultura (in)útil!
