Learning "stay" and news from Bama

Romy loves not only his food but today also my food! He started getting too excited at supper time. Here he is practicing his "stay" while I eat. He is sooo smart! Just needs to learn a few useful commands! I just adore Roman and look how hard he is trying to be good! That one little paw just had to inch out of the bed where he is sitting. Very soon Roman will get his own treat for being a patient boy! 

I found out that Roman's former foster mom in AL is also named Lydia!!! We connected via email and here is a little snippet of what she said about Roman....

"Roman was used to being indoors but judging by his hair cut, probably had
not been well cared for.  The short hair on his back was growing back real
curley, like a poodle, but his head & ears more yorkie.  I figured his coat
had been matted and someone just cut it all off.  It'll be interesting to
see what he looks like when his hair grows back.
Roman is a good boy - loves to snuggle and plays well with other dogs,
except Boyden!" He had good potty manners from the very first.  It's great

that you teach some basic commands - I'm not very good at that.  Roman is
smart though and learned our routine right away.  "Time for bed" means go to
my room, "Outside" and they head for the door, etc.  He'll be a good learner
as he pays attention when you talk to him."

Guess both us "Lydia's" think Roman is a pretty awesome pup! Romy can't wait to have a person who never neglects him again but gives him the proper care, training and kindness that will assure Roman he is fur-ever loved!
