SYDNEY OUR NEW DOG

It's official. Sydney is the name. We're going to take him for his heartworm jabs soon. And also official - Sydney's definitely smarter than poor Buddy. Here are the proofs :
1) Buddy rushed out of the compound the minute the gate is open but Sydney stayed put at the porch and sat there elegantly.
2) Took Buddy a while not to pee in the house each time he sneaked in. Sydney stayed obediently outside the door and sneaked in when no one is looking and gobbled up the chocolates (only the chocolates! - my, the dog has good taste!)
3) Sydney has learned (in one day that it pays to sit at command - you get to eat doggy biscuits.)

However, I wished he would stop licking me each time he sees me.
So far, Sydney has not challenged Buddy's position in the house. I shudder to think if he later decides to do so.
