Oreo

Oreo has arrived , and makes sure everyone knows it! He is true to both his breeds, this dog has more energy than any other dog I've ever met and that's really saying something based on my Lola's energy (That's her in the background making sure Oreo isn't after her ball!)

I admit it, I've raised an Obsessive, Compulsive dog. Lola is absolutely bonkers about tennis balls. She will fetch until she collapses from exhaustion and then as soon as she's recovered she'll be dropping a spitty ball in your lap to start all over again.I took her several times to the local dog park thinking she might enjoy running around with the other dogs. She just embarrassed her mom however, tearing around and stealing everyone else's tennis balls. Oreo has upped the stakes in the fetching game. He could care less about chasing a ball. He does love to chase Lola. Here is a dog that has never had any training and yet it takes him minutes to figure out that instead of running all the way to the end of the yard he can stop halfway and wait for Lola on her return trip. It's amazing to watch him hunker down, and fix intently on Lola running and then suddenly burst into action and try to herd her back to the porch. Lola now has to concentrate not only on "get the ball! get the ball!" but try to take evasive maneuvers while bringing it back.

My 3 veteran volunteers are impressed that I adopted out Zeke so quickly. I've broken the record for a rookie apparently. They do warn me that it's not always going to be so easy.
