juliepoudrier Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I am! So why did I end up with a little plain Jane (there may be one freckle on a leg) who might even have airplane ears? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chan Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Congrats!! It will be fun to see one of Rook's littermate grow up too! Her left front leg looks a lot like his :-) Love the name and look forward to more photos as she grows up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 She's lovely. And I love the name. I had a Wren once. Great dog. And an underused classic name IMO. I think the #3 dog registered with the ISDS was a Wren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoresDog Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 What a nice-looking pup! Congratulations, and best wishes for a long and happy partnership. Some people I work with here in California have gotten good dogs from Herbert. It sounds like a long way to go to get a dog, but there are a string of sheep dog trials in Texas in February that a bunch of southern Californians travel out for.

alligande Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Julie we have the same tastes.... A freckled tri, I am in love she is lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I like the name Wren too. I never thought of it as underused though--I know several Wrens, past and present, locally--which is why I've never used it myself, even though I like bird names. J.

Cass C Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 What a beautiful dog! Sometimes you just don't end up with exactly the dog you want, you end up with something better! Good luck with your pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 I named my Wren in 2000. At the time, I'd never heard it sued for a dog and didn't know about the first ISDS Wren either. Now I am hearing it from time to time. It's really a lovely name. (I like bird names, too.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmadrid Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Good morning and happy new year! I thought you all might like an update on my little Wren-ful. She's been with us almost a month, and it's been so fun. She's had a lot to take in and learn, and I've been very impressed by her so far. She's been learning the ropes and fitting in well with us... She's a super cuddler, and she's starting to show us more and more of energetic, mischievous side. Fun story: the Saturday before Christmas, I'm out picking up the yard, getting things ready for the dog sitter so I can leave town the next morning.... And I look up to see Wren 7 feet up in the air, in a tree....apparently she was just exploring around and thought "hey, I wonder what's up there?" And suddenly found herself in a tree. Thankfully I was able to get her down, and then I put plastic lawn furniture on the tree (picture attached) to block her from trying a similar stunt. (She was on the limb to the right of the wind chimes... Way up high!) Hey, at least she's not afraid of heights... Should take at least one issue out of dog walk training for agility.... She's learning lots of tricks, too. I'll make a video soon to post. Learning tricks and shaping behaviors was all very new to her, but she's taken to it readily and we are having lots of fun. So, in short, she's sweet and smart and silly and full of mischief.... Everything you want a puppy to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Oh, my! What a cute little daredevil. Definitely sounds like an agility prospect. And I love the Buddha spot and all the ticking on her face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chan Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Daredevil is right!! It sounds like she has some characteristics similar to her brother - cuddling and enjoying tricks and clicker training and others not so much - tree climbing :-). Rook is funny about jumping up on stuff - only dog I've ever had to teach/encourage to jump up on the sofa or logs/tree stumps in the woods. I'm glad you're enjoying her!! She looks like a real sweetie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
