Who knows, with a little more time you may have a friendship on your hands.<br />Are you doing lots of positive reinforcement when they are near each other? Try doing side by side obedience across the baby gate -- everybody getting super yummy treats for doing easy things like "sit" and "down" in each other's presence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-10903976889439718232011-10-07T12:56:52.676-07:002011-10-07T12:56:52.676-07:00Hooray!Hooray!A Confessed Pit Bull Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777050986041332779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-89843322868838003402011-10-04T05:12:10.933-07:002011-10-04T05:12:10.933-07:00Yes, Susan, I agree with you: it's a great pro...Yes, Susan, I agree with you: it's a great progress!sonia a. mascarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415359150944729620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-74390692892704702312011-10-03T11:25:40.132-07:002011-10-03T11:25:40.132-07:00Nanny dogs!

Not bad for a dog about 12 years old. I'm certain Louise will also be a gazelle well into her old age. I find it thrilling to see animals demonstrating their natural athletic skills.<br /><br />Also, I love the photo of Louise with the kids at the library.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059415005282675289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665132705224761110.post-64646969841629259532011-09-26T10:00:04.645-07:002011-09-26T10:00:04.645-07:00You guys are the ULTIMATE Tommy & Louise fans....You guys are the ULTIMATE Tommy & Louise fans.
