AIBU AT LENE'S |
|
"Aibu is our little funny girl... She is a very active Akita, almost always about to be "doing something"... I am not sure, if she always knows herself, what it is she is about to do, but she has to investigate a spot in the garden, or sit and watch the horses or the birds at their pasture, or she has to try to dig a big(ger) hole somewhere in the garden, or try if she can find any leftovers from their meals - or she is just sniffing about in the garden. Or she is playing "wild", especially with Fuji.. She also plays with Kanzi, but they have a more "calm and quiet" way of playing, when the two girls play together compared to how each of them plays with Fuji.... Aibu is also a dog that loves to be padded and cuddled, and she is a very happy little soul, who is almost always up to a play or a pad whenever she is invited (and sometimes even she also invites herself....). She is quite obedient, even without training, as she is quite food "interested" and so is easy to get attentive for what one want her to do.. That said, she has a very hard time concentrate on anything for more than just a short time, so even though, she is quite easy to make do things, she isn't that easy to train anyway. She is the "little one" in our pack of dogs, and I think that irritates her a bit sometimes, as no one really seem to pay much attention, if she is trying to "make herself heard"... Only exception being her defending her food-bowl - or anything that has to do with food. I believe, Fuji and Kanzi learned their lessons from day one - that even if she isn't very big, and even if they can do a lot of things to her in any other situation, they should NOT try to steal her food! But, this is also ok, I don't allow them to steal food from each other anyway, so it just makes my job easier that she is able to watch out for her self. But, it also shows that she has quite a temper, when it comes to it, so I am a bit curious, how she will be to work with on a longer term... There were a few weeks, where Ikiru was a bit hard to her, I never really understood why, as I couldn't find anything that should trigger this behaviour from Ikiru. But it also lasted only a very short time, and now we have had "peace and quiet" for a long time. But, these few days meant that Aibu now pays a lot of respect to Ikiru.... most of the time..... when, she isn't barking at her, when she moves around in the yard after dark... or using her as an extra "step" to be able to reach higher for greeting one of us... But, it seems that Ikiru has gotten used to this odd behaviour from Aibu - most of the time... though I can't say, Ikiru really likes her, when she behaves like this... Aibu is also a very curious little dog, always wanting to investigate whenever we meet new things... This added to her occasional lack of concentration has led her in a couple of "bad-luck" situations, but it doesn't seem to bother her that much, she is getting over with this very quickly and continues as her happy self." |
