Ok..gonna pic whore my baby!
So I rose early today (a chore for me after many years of night work..mornings are NOT my best time!) and took Snoopy to the Walk for the Animals to benefit the Humane Society here. He was SUCH a good boy...tons of people and dogs all over, chaos ruled in Huizenga Park today..and he never barked or pulled or anything.I was so proud of my little man! He made lots of new doggy friends..played his little head off! We got some cool stuff in the goodie bags given to all who registered..including a collapsible travel water bowl which I JUST said to C that I want to get since we will be going to the park and dog park more now that the weather is getting better!
He wore his little bomber jacket(I'm not usually one to dress dogs up, but it has been chilly lately and he just looks so darn cute in it!) and EVERYONE was stopping to pet him and tell him how cute he was. Of course,being the little ham he is, he ate that right up!!
Here are a cpl pics of my baby all dressed up and cute for our charity walk! Thought I'd share!

Awww! So cute! You have an adorable little man there! I love his bomber-jacket, very fashionable.
I'm amazed he was in a park of people and didn't even pull on the leash! I'm assuming you've trained him? How long did that take? My Poodle is very bright, but very resistant to training, she would have been barking her head off.
I love the first pic of the two of you! You look so proud - Priceless!

He is a rescue. He was my first foster with the rescue i am with now. I failed fostering 101 and fell in love and kept him..lol.
He was owned by people who were big pieces of shit IMO..they threw him out in the street. More then once. Just tossed him out the door instead of walking him and when he was found they'd pop by wherever and pick him up a cpl DAYS later like it was no big deal. Rinse, repeat. They were finally told when he was found matted and filthy all alone in the street in the middle of a thunderstorm that they couldnt have him back.
He wasnt neutered or anything when I got him..had to have all that done. But he was a big lovebug from the second he got here.
He just wants everyone to be happy. So if I say "Come" or "dont pull" or "Shush" he usually does just because he knows that if he does Mama will be happy and tell him he's a good boy. Which is what he lives for.
So it was really easy to train him.
He LOVES everyone..people, other animals...doesnt matter..everyone is his new best friend! He'll bark if someone comes up to the house(Lhasas were bred as sentinels after all!), but once I open the door and let them in and he knows its ok...he's right at your feet hoping you'll rub his belly and tell him he's the cutest baby ever.
He wasnt freaked out at all. I have socialized him as much as I can. I take him with me to PetSmart so he can walk around with all the other people and animals around. He goes to the vet with us when I take one of my fosters in...so he's not scared of the vet(they give him a cookie for being good moral support!). We take him to the park, over friends houses to play with their dogs and/or kids,plus he is used to new dogs coming in and out of the house with the fosters... he's gotten used to being out and about and a social butterfly.
So hundreds of people telling him what a good boy and what a cutie he is, plus tons of friendly dogs to play with...he was having a good ol' time!
He's such a good boy...he DOES make his mama proud!
