Subject: [WAMAL] Mars update
From Mars' adopter:
Hi All-- This is very exciting! We adopted Mars?^?^?kept the name because we
couldn?^?^?t?^?^? agree on one, and anyway, ?^?^?Men are from mars?^?^?. The funny thing is
that my husband has a pair of Marvin the Martian slippers and Mars won?^?^?t leave
them alone no matter where we ?^?^?hide?^?^? them he finds them. He is huge?^?^?at 13
weeks he weighed 30 lbs. and today is his next vet visit ?^?^? my guess is he?^?^?ll
weigh in at about 40 lbs ?^?^? he has grown a lot since then. I am amazed at how
obedient he is ?^?^? didn?^?^?t expect that from his Mal side, but he did come to us
with some basic training ?^?^? one night right after we got him my husband said ?^?^?it
?^?^?s time for bed?^?^? ?^?^? we both went off to get ready and then we couldn?^?^?t find
Mars anywhere. After looking everywhere else in the house we finally found
him in his crate?^?^?we figured whoever trained him called it a ?^?^?bed?^?^?. He seems to
be a very smart boy! He?^?^?s house trained and knows sit, come, outside and
leash. He is very cuddly and lovable and the only thing we are seriously working
on now is biting ?^?^? if he doesn?^?^?t?^?^? get his way he tends to grab our hand with
his mouth?^?^?not really a ?^?^?bite?^?^? just a gesture of control ?^?^? got any good
ideas on how to stop this behavior? Celestial Mom,
