We received a sweet "pupdate" about Zuko (fka Moscow), who was adopted in September 2021. His new mom just loves him to death! Here is what she has to report:
"Moscow is doing great. He's going by Zuko now. He's 18.6 lbs the last time I checked a few days ago. He's learned the commands sit, lie down, stay, paw, come, off, and go potty. He's basically potty trained at this point, but he does still have an occasional accident every now and then. I signed him up for a Petsmart class, however, it was canceled on the day it was supposed to start since their trainer unexpectedly left the company that day, so until they get a new trainer ready, I've been learning tips and tricks online for how to train him in the meantime. He's quick to learn but I want to make sure I'm training him properly, so I may end up going to a farther location for training classes soon. He likes to say hi to the next door neighbor's dogs, even if they're much bigger than him. He enjoys going on car rides, especially up to LA where he gets to hang out with his furry cousins (my siblings' dogs), Cody and Bella. Bella is around his age (only off by 1-2 weeks) so they play a lot together. Cody is an older dog (about 8 years old) that likes his alone time, but he also enjoys running around with Zuko from time to time. His human cousin (my nephew), Luca, LOVES having Zuko visit. He just laughs and laughs at Zuko zooming around the house. Zuko seems to know to take his energy down a notch around Luca, who is almost 2 years old. Zuko likes to give everyone plenty of kisses and cuddles with just about anyone he's comfortable with. For Halloween, I got him a Squirtle costume while I dressed as a Pokemon trainer. We actually won a prize in the costume contest for my apartment complex. He's already an award-winning pooch, haha!"
