Doberman PrezLee

When PrezLee is hungry he takes his bowl and makes things like this it’s pretty obvious what he would like

Apparently PrezLee was a handy man in his previous life, because he likes every household tool, screwdriver and now he helped us fixing the shower curtains. We was putting up a new set of shower curtains when he came into the bathroom and wanted to be in the middle of the action. Because this is an old house we needed to find a way to put those curtains up, and we came up with the idea to use some wire for this.

One piece of wire, about a meter long was in plus so we cut it and until we finished the job, we trowed it on the floor. My crazy doberman PrezLee noticed that we are “playing with the wire” and he wanted to do the same! He took the wire in his mouth and slowly wanted to go away, and hoped I won’t see what he is doing… but I saw him and went chasing him to take the wire before he hurts himself with his sharp edges.

When I finally managed to took from him, he was kinda… “why can’t I play with that wire??? It’s not fair!”

I was browsing on Focalprice, when I noticed this Flashing Safety Dog Collar that reminded me of one I had myself for PrezLee. In winter time it was simply a magnificent idea to put this on my puppy doberman, who was crazy enough to run and I didn’t knew where he was in the bushes.

But I had a bad idea to use it as a regular dog collar, and that destroyed the flashing thing on it. It was because that time, my doberman PrezLee was very crazy and jumpy, and didn’t wanted to behave like a normal dog supposed.

I would recommend to anyone with a crazy doberman to get a Flashing Safety Dog Collar but us it only for “lighting” the dog.

Well my doberman and kids…

I don’t have kids yet, but one day sure I will have. And what is more important I want my kids to grow up with a dog (or 2,3) in the family. This is why when I got my doberman as a puppy it was very important to me to socialize the dog very well. I took the puppy with me every place possible, to meet dogs, people, other animals, life situations. He meet as a puppy other puppies of course, other dogs, pigs, horses, chickens, cats, turkey, goats, baby goats, baby rabbit. When I show him a new animal, he is curious of course, but the first reaction is friendly.

The same thing is with children. He wasn’t raised with one “in the house”, but he was in the company of the neighbors kids almost daily, just to get used with the screaming, running, always moving “small humans”. Now as a grown up dog, he is very patient with kids, the only “issue” we have is his size. He is just to big to play with small children. But children can pet him as much as they want, he is relaxed and friendly.

What is interesting with the kids, that the small children, aged 2-5 are not afraid of my dobermann, but the older they get they start getting scared of his size.

Yesterday we visited a friend, she has a 3 year old boy. At the beginning I didn’t knew what will be the kids reaction be when saws the dog, but he was simply thrilled by the “visitor”. He petted the dog, and he was not afraid at all.

I am very happy and pleased with my dogs behavior.

The last 2 weeks were horror to me. The first one was more bearable, but on Saturday I felt really really bad. Not this, the one week before. This is why I asked my parents if they could take care of PrezLee until I am healthy again.  I was hoping to get well in a week, but unfortunately this didn’t happened.

This is why, PrezLee has the life of a king now . He loves there, he is walked 3x a day, and from this 3 walks, 2 are LONG WALKS, where he finally have the time and place to run like a crazy dog. I mean he is crazy after all .

The first day were harder, because he had some “issues” in his head, he thought he has the right to do whatever he wants, and he didn’t wanted to go back to my dad when he told him to do so. He was firmly convinced, that the boss is him, and not my dad. Luckily this is fixed now, he sort of follows the orders of the leader (89.9% of the cases).

The good thing is that the house is at the end of the village and not on the main road. And this crazy doberman doesn’t run away… he runs home… but leaved my dad behind and doesn’t wanted to wait and go as a heard with him and the other dogs… This is sort of almost fixed now, and until they manage to get along well I will take my dog home.

I must say, that the first day I let him there was strange. I missed him, and because at the moment I didn’t felt very ill, I was sort of having some bad feelings but in about 2 hours I knew it was the best decision. The medication I was taking made me so sleepy, that I slept days/nights without any schedule, and when the effect was over, I was itchy, scratchy and going crazy slowly. I wouldn’t be able to take him to the walks he needs, and even making food for myself was hard time.

Now I am slowly getting better, yesterday I took a longer walk with my boyfriend and I really really missed this crazy doberman.

I think I will let him at my parents until the weekend, and the next week we will be united again.
