Drew





A busy noisy Saturday at the shelter, the first time I walked by Drew's kennel I thought it was empty, a second look revealed Drew quietly sleeping on his white bed.  This is one calm dog.  Drew is  a  beautiful Lhasa Apso, about two and  from the overcrowded California shelter so nothing is known of his background.  Drew had already been out on two walks so I opted for fun and obedience in the exercise yard.

Once in the yard Drew was pure energy, dashing everywhere, stopping only for back rubs - which he loves.  When he slowed down for some sniffing I took the opportunity to do some obedience drills.  He's good at come, pretty good at sit, but gets distracted when other dogs are within sight.  Surprisingly he is close to being able to heel but, once again, other dogs distract him.  I think he will be very easy to manage when he has his own family and training sessions can be free of distractions.

Back in his kennel, he quietly had a long cool drink of his water then hopped right back on to his bed. He is such a cute little guy, let's hope he finds his own family soon since he is very tuned into and distracted by the multitude of surrounding dogs.
