Ace shows his true colours

And such wonderful colours they are.
He is a funny boy. He would really like to play with the ever dainty fluffy dog but she will have nothing to do with him. For that matter, she has had a snarl on her face since he walked in the door. And when he bugs her to much, she (all 20 lbs) sends this boy running. But Ace has found an outlet for his energy. He loves to play with balls. If you throw it, 9 times out of 10 he will bring it back. The other 1 time he usually runs around with it, throwing it in the air or dropping it on the ground so he can chase it some more. He also would like to bury it but I keep interrupting that process. There is something about all the dirt from the garden all over my patio stones that bothers me. I know, I'm picky. LOL
Ace has not had an accident either in his crate or loose in the house. He always goes to the door to let you know that he wants out. And for that matter, he rarely does his business while on leash, preferring instead to wait till he is home and then rushing outside to deposit it in the yard.
The only real issues Ace seems to have is his tendency to pull on leash. We are working on that but anyone adopting him will need to correct this. The other issue is when you first leave the house. He does bark and whine for a short time. My thoughts are that he is still worried that we are deserting him. If he has something to occupy his time with, like a fresh bone or a kong filled with something yummy, he hardly notices that you are gone.
Ace will leave for his new foster home this weekend. His spot in my home is desperately needed by another pup. This other rottie pup has mange and will need some love and attention to recover from this. Stay tuned for more updates on the dogs in care
