Hello, I'm Gretel
We feel that Grete rescued us as much as we rescued her. We are so happy to be her furever mom and dad!!!
Gretel's Story
Our darling Cairn Terrier doggy daughter is doing just great! Previously known at Paws as Calypso, we renamed her as “Gretel” and “Grete” for short, which means a precious little “pearl.” Grete just celebrated her first birthday in addition to successfully completing her doggy obedience training classes this February. She really seemed to enjoy going to training each week with mom and dad plus her other classmates.
Together, we learned so many important obedience skills plus some really fun tricks. Whenever there are some delicious treats to be had, she is especially eager to show off her new tricks, including sit pretty, dance, shake, roll over, ninja crawl and a very dramatic bang bang! We are so proud of all that she has learned so far. Being a highly curious and determined little terrier by nature, however, we are of our course still working on leash walking without pulling/tension but continue to make good progress. Understandably, it’s sometimes too hard to be perfect with such a strong instinct to hunt and chase after little critters, and there are just so many squirrels and bunnies in the neighborhood to tempt Grete.
We are absolutely in love with Grete and cannot imagine life without her. She is our little sweetie pie and sometimes a very silly pie! She has brought such love and laughter back into our lives and home again after losing our precious Westie son of 15 and ½ years last August. We feel that Grete rescued us as much as we rescued her. We are so happy to be her furever mom and dad!!!
