He is so adorable, don't you think?
Here is a video of Pingo playing his humans new whistle game. :)
Hello!
I wanted to send you a little update and share a few of Pingos little quirks!
He isn’t much of a cuddler. He prefers snoozing in his pen and on the floor than on our bed or couch. So much so that we have gotten used to leaving blankets and pillows around for him to cuddle up against. :) we don’t mind, we understand it takes time to get used to our movements and smells.
Pingo loves to play, he has fun toys but always opts for a dish towel. He is a simple creature, it would seem.
When he is sleeping and not playing he can be found on his back, under a blanket, squeezed between two pillows, or hugging a stuffed animal.
He eats his food happily, and drinks lots of water. And hits the pee pad every time.
Pingo is incredibly polite with strangers, a bit cautious but warms up quickly. He learned sit, and lie down on the second day. He knows his name, responds to whistles, and LOVES fetch. We are slowly teaching him paw and stay. All in good time.
He is nervous around microwaves and washing machines and today I learned that he barks at shadows. But honestly, I do not blame him, those are all very scary things.
My mom owns a Boarder Collie and a German Shepard mix and although they are renowned to be smart dogs, I think Pingo would give them a run for their money.
He is far smarter than I would have anticipated. Sometimes I look into his deep brown eyes and I can feel him, listening, thinking, and learning.
He is a little nervous around the brush, but he is getting used to the comb. Which is what I will use for the time being. I want to keep his coat long. And see how it progresses in colour. So eventually, with lots of treats, and patience he will get used to it.
Below are images of him sleeping. All on his back, as usual. I am going to try to send a follow up email with a video of a game my friend and I play with Pingo. She whistles, he runs. I whistle, he runs back, he could do it for hours if we let him.
Dusan and I love him more than anything. When he learns something new we tell everyone we know. We are proud parents and thank you all for all the work and love you put into these lovely creatures.
Enjoy the photos
