Crabby

Hi Kathy, Thank you for the followup email and your concern regarding our new son Sergio aka CRABBY. Although I don't have time to work on information about him, I will do so with video and photos as soon as I get a break that permits me time. Sergio is doing great, I told Peter to give me a week with him and he will be a different dog. Well after four days he responded excellent with a lot of love watching me with the other two puppies Giovanni and Angelo. He watched and watched just as I told Peter I would do it allowing us to break the ice with him he soon wanted to chime in and he did in fact. After a week and a half I realized he is an abused puppy from his previous owners before rescue. The first 10 ten was a work out with his high aggressive anxiety where he would growl, show his teeth in fear when in close contact or sudden movements with our hands in close quarters. This baby was never given the love so deserved and in return a chance to show giving love back to the mommy and daddy as well as his new brothers. How ever, that has all changed for Sergio, (Crabby) where he now does kisses to his brothers and mommy and daddy. He now loves to be at my side, jumps on me if I am sitting in the movie room on our movie recliner. He barks allot with the other two as part of being a puppy. He loves and knows when he gets a treat when he does good making on the wee wee pad, after going out for a walk gets a treat and when he plays with Dad learning he gets a treat. In fact he looks forward to getting his treats when he does something he now knows is GOOD BOY.... In the daytime he sleep in his new bed having the run of the house with the other guys always looking to play with Angelo. He has not slept in his crate from day one when I brought it home with me just in case I needed it, but as I expected he adapted very well after taking a strong liking to me the day I met him. He loves when daddy sings to him making up words like SERGIO IS THE GOOD BOY FOR THE MOMMY AND THE DADDY, HE DOES KISSES FOR MOMMY AND DADDY, etc..... The first night, it took him a bit to adjust sleeping with me on my side. Now when Daddy goes to sleep he comes to the bed and waits for daddy to pick him up. It was a challenge for all three dogs and he being the newest finding a spot to sleep on the bed. The other two guys were a little jealous that he would sleep right next to dad so we moved them around each day to break the ice for this training which included all the puppies. They love him and he loves them as we love him the same and treat each of them fairly, they know this is love and the right thing to do when loving your pet. So when I get time I will have some more to say and send video as well as photos of his transformation being loved the way he should have been from the beginning, just let me know where to upload the videos and pix... Thank you, Joe & Pam Garofalo
