Willie ( or Mack as named by his previous owner) was returned through no fault of his own. He is a happy, little fella. We've been fostering him for couple weeks now, and at first he didn't respond to either "Willie" or "Mack", so we tried to make "Willie" stick. However, I soon learned that "Mack" came out of my mouth sooner whenever a quick scolding was needed....so "Mack" seems to have now stuck.
Don't let that scolding comment scare you though! He is a happy guy, eager to please and food motivated. We've done a little bit of clicker training, and he has learned to be patient for treats, "wait" when the door is opened, or before we cross a street, and stays "out the kitchen" at human meal times.
Early on, I had a dogbed in his crate. But he would fluff it all up into a large ball, and barely have room to duck in and out of the crate door! So.... I took the bed out, and replaced it with blankets. However, this particular day, he apparently decided that he wanted the bed back INSIDE the crate!!
This picture below was dogbed wash day. Pretty hot day outside, and the bed was fresh from the dryer. Guess he decided that it the weather was too warm to lie on it, so he just kept his feet toasty while the bed cooled a bit more.
