PIXEL, Masha’s baby
Hey, it’s been 3 months I’m Canadian
So I’m Pixel (Tessa, from Mashas’s litter) arrived in Montreal in the middle of winter!
Everything was strange here: my humans speak French, I didn’t understand a word at the beginning
And leaving in a city with all that noise, I was barking at everything.
My humans insisted to often go out but I was scared and didn’t want to go further than the next houses, why going so far when it is so good to stay home? But I have learned that I cannot pee when or where I want, and now I am even enjoying long walks!
I didn’t sleep well for my first night: jetlag, noisy neighbours, new odors, … my parents went out with me for potty at 4am in the cold and the snow. Now I sleep 10 hours in a row, I love my bed!
Going back to the snow, what is that? It’s cold, wet and COLD but it is so much fun to dig in it, to search for the ball or some treats! I was a bit disappointed when it disappeared and very surprised to find grass and mud!
What else? The leash: almost no problem; meeting humans: scarry at the beginning but now I am so excited to meet my family’s friends and I know it is OK to see other people in the street; meeting other dogs: it depends. My parents wanted me to have a trainer but I was not pleased at all so we had to stop and I am doing my best without that.
I have learned to play, yes! At the beginning, I didn’t understand what was this round thing my family was throwing but now I am so happy to go fetch it and I start to bring it back!! I spend nice moments with my brother and my sister playing, but also cuddling.
When I arrived, I was very skinny, only bones and skin, afraid not to have enough food but now I know I can eat quietly, every day. OK I cannot stop to eat anything I find but we are working on it. Working I love it! I know to sit, lay, give the paws, walk around my mom’s legs, stay still, wait. We are trying other things, what could I do for treats I even stop chasing my sister cat!
I think my life takes a nice turn, thanks to RDL-C Family and Cynthia Ashkar
