5-7-24 Today I: Went for a four-mile hike at Almaden Quick Silver Park. I like to hike. I was on a long leash, so I got to run from one side of the trail to another; lots of interesting stuff. I met lots of friendly people, many of whom had friendly dogs. I really like people and other dogs. I got lots of pets and scratches and responded gratefully.
Three Words to Describe Me are: Affectionate+++, friendly and well-behaved Notes from My Walker: Wow, what a great dog. He is really handsome, really friendly, and likes all of the attention a person is willing to give him. He is well behaved, although some might complain about the constant pull (but not tugs or jerks) he puts on the leash, however, it was really appreciated when walking up hill. He likes to ride in the car and is self-loading. We met numerous people who had dogs, and we stopped to greet them one and all, no problems with other dogs. He likes to snuggle and gives kisses
4-26-24 Today Alex went on a 7 mile walk on Hamilton trail. He leads in front on walks and pulls for the first twenty minutes, very excited to be out and about BUT he does settle into a nicer pace after the first mile. He passed many people and dogs and strollers never veering in their direction. He got leashed up politely tolerating my fidgeting with the size of his harness and hopped right on the car and simply looked out the window or lay down for a belly rub! We have stopped at PEETS, STARBUCKS and OUTSIDE restaurants in Los Gatos. Guess what! He sits down and politely watches the people and dogs going by.
Today I packed a brush because I noticed how TUFTY he was becoming. I have walked him 6 times and he needed it. Alex loves to be petted and I was not sure if he liked being brushed. He never snapped at me for this type of somewhat aggressive brushing. I just telling him that he was a good boy and he looks up at me lovingly.
Three Words to Describe Me are: PLAYFUL FRIENDLY AFFECTIONATE Notes from My Walker: ALex is a sweet heart of a dog. I felt as if I could trust him right away to be gentle and responsive. He has had apartment foster experiences outside the shelter but Alex would do best with a yard and things to sniff and look at. He also chases balls which is a great! His foster says he is crate trained, potty trained and doesn’t bark. I say you should meet him!
