Talk about being “set in your ways” – well, that was me when I came here from Turkey. But the thing people say about dogs not learning “new tricks”, I and my new mom are proving is not true. It takes patience from her and trying really hard from me. But it’s all been worth it. I’ve learned that walking on a leash is a big adventure not something to make you afraid. And, I don’t need to chase down little critters to get my next meal because mom always has something for me in my dish or even a treat. We’ve both worked hard and made changes but we are turning out to be the best “team” ever. Thank you mom! – Abe
