Maremma Pup – Donatella arrived last Tuesday. She is 9 weeks old and as you can see not much of a guard dog yet. Ha ha. At this time she is too small and plays her role of a puppy seriously. I can tell you that she thinks she runs the place. She barks directly in the face of the adult dogs. She makes them give up their food for her and is quite annoying to them as she bites them on the backside.
Tommy and I are constantly trying to discipline Donatella. No jump, no bite, and no running in between our legs as we are walking. We sound like a broken record, but we can hardly get mad at her as she quickly falls to the ground and rolls over exposing her belly for a good rubbing.
We just love Donatella!
