A couple weeks ago, Bryson met a new puppy friend, Xena (yes, as in Xena the Warrior Princess, you can tell what her parents' ambition for her are). Xena is a super-adorable 5-week-old mixed puppy, who literally fell into the lap of my friend Van's family. They weren't prepared to have a dog at all, let alone a needy little puppy. But they took one look at her and fell in love promptly (just look at that face, awww...) How could you not? But still, it takes a pretty big heart (and tons of patience) to take in such a young and helpless pup. Thanks goodness she's learning fast, just look at the intense sitting lesson below...
Bryson demonstrates a sit as Xena's mommy gently coerce her to do the same
Bryson: See! You got it! It's not so hard, eh? Here's your reward... oops, I mean mine, you'll get yours later
Just look at that focus and determination on her face: "MUST... learn....... SIT!!"
