ABMC Malinois Rescue Blog

Hello Everyone,
It’s Babeesh again…sorry I haven’t posted in a while. My foster moms have been busy and they always hog the computer!!

Anyway, I’ve been going to doggy obedience class with Mom Liz the last 6 weeks. Our last class is this Wednesday. I’ve been nervous in class and had some accidents (oops!) a few times. I think I need to get used to being in class with other dogs. I have to be watched carefully since I still think the small dogs are just fancy squeaky toys!! I have learned how to walk better on a leash and sit when we stop walking (I usually have to be reminded, though). I also have a great recall. Mom Liz says I need to work on “down” more, though, because I don’t really want to do that at all. Hopefully, my new family can work with me on more obedience.

The “Moms” weighed me today and I gained some weight! When I came from the shelter, I was only 53 lbs. and today I weighed 59 lbs.!! The “Moms” are very happy that I have gained weight and they even say that my hips are not sticking out anymore and you can’t see my ribs either. I have gained lots of muscle in my legs and filled out more in my chest - I look much healther now and still love to eat my raw food every day. Yummy!!

Tonight, I went to get microchipped. I was very good in the vet’s office and made friends with all of the vet techs there. I even showed the “moms” that I could catch treats! They didn’t know that I could - I kept it a secret from them. Hehehehe!! The vet used a large pokey thing to put my microchip between my shoulder blades and I didn’t even flinch. The “moms” were so proud of me and told me so after we finished.

Well, that’s about all for now. I’ll be sure to write again soon - as long as the “moms” let me near the computer!
