New Buddies: Lost Puppy & The three birds

An afternoon photo I took of the puppy and the three birds at my farm.

The puppy seems to be making friendship with the birds. Nolonger shy or fearful. Once in a while sits to watch them ducks play in the water, then another moment feigns a warning bark at the hen when she pecks morsels from the feeding bowl it now seems to own. "Simba" is the tentative or rather interim name I call it. It rarely responds because it is not used to being called. I hope this puppy adapts well.

It's great that you have a lot of pets. I don't have any because my wife is not good at taking care of them, so she just waits for the time when I stop working before she can.

@Laurakemunto In my place, having a pet is really good and the neighbors praise it, whatever they say, I don't really pay attention to it.

I rescued another puppy recently. I am very difficult to train it regarding toilet habits. It's very naughty and playful too.

@SIDIKIMPOLE My puppy Blacky is different. It pees and poos in perfectly clean places inside our homes.

Just learnt a trick here recently about toilet habits. If it releases waste in the wrong place, you feed it at that wrong place then it won't release waste in the same place again. Another thing, puppies rarely release waste in a clean place. SO keep whatever pace you do not wish it to use as a toilet clean, then it will find another place for the job.

I'm sure it will soon learn its name. It's good of you to take it in.
