Holly a GDA Puppy

Today was the first day grooming wasn’t a fight! Ten minutes of grooming time was accomplished without blood draws, “leave it”, or aggression towards the brush. Madaline called Joseph with excitement to inform him of Holly’s acceptance or behavioral change. Let’s see how long this lasts. There has been a few “Get Busy” regressions, or we are realizing Holly hasn’t learned “Get busy” on command, we just had it timed right most the time and the last two days our timing is off.

The last few days have been in the high eighties. It appears Holly doesn’t handle heat well. In the vehicles she would not behave in a manner we were accustom to until the air conditioned cooled air was blowing from the floor registers. In the home she has been very lethargic and only interested in sleeping in or next to her water dish. Well, this is Oxnard; of the 510 more days she has with us there will probably only be ten days of heat like this. I hope she is not a dog adverse to cool days and nights.
