Still

Zum stands still as I step on the mounting block, which is what I want. He values the opportunity to stand without working. As Zum relaxes, I pet his back with my hands.

Priority

Spending time building trust with Zum is my priority. I have learned from people that I should never make someone a priority when they see me as an option. Zum nickers when he sees me so I know Zum sees me as a priority and a daily friend also.

Puppy

Puppy is a sweet Chihuahua that thinks he is a herd dog. He guards the donkey, goats and sheep. He is another angel in my family.

Brush

I brush Zum all over his body everyday. I want him to get comfortable with the brush on his sensitive areas like his belly and back legs.
