Rest In Peace, Allie

It is with extremely heavy and saddened hearts that we announce that Allie passed away early tonight. She got sick and passed away within a matter of days, and none us are quite sure how to respond. She was only 6 years old!

Allie was a regular fixture at the daycare. Some of you might remember her taking it easy up front with a kong always in her mouth, or jumping up to welcome you from the grooming room as you walked in. She would tolerate a pat on the head from most of us, but loved a good belly scratch from Amy or any of the Trzcinski's.

She was goofy, full of energy, and ready to let anyone know exactly who was in charge when she was in daycare - her. When she wasn't working with Dennis, she was more than happy to pace in circles (always with a kong in her mouth), or to sprawl out in the sun and relax, but always alert to any possible danger that was present. She was a natural guard dog.

Although she was only with the Trzcinski's for a few years, Allie left quite the impression. She was a powerhouse protection dog, and acted as a model of Dennis's training methods for interested clients. When you watched her work with Dennis, it was so clear to see how much she loved her job. She was a stunning representation of the GSD breed, and passed on her great genes to several litters of puppies before she died.  

We love you Allie, and you'll hold a special place in our hearts forever!

Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers, or Wheaten Terrier for short, are playful, friendly and alert dogs. They make great guard dogs, but won't bark just for the sake of barking. They are a very intelligent, need a strong, consistent owner who is able to socialize him and teach boundaries and manners. Wheatens can and will take over control if they don't feel their owner is confident. This can lead to dog-aggression and dominance issues if not dealt with quickly.

They can make great apartment dogs because they shed very little, and aside from a bark or two if guests arrive, they tend not to bark. Wheatens are very loyal, good with kids, other dogs and cats, if socialized properly as a puppy. As long as they get plenty of exercise (both mental and physical) they will be perfectly happy living in an apartment.

We have three Wheaten Terriers at Pet U. Sisters Bailee and Delanee have been coming to us since we opened, and I know they were thrilled to meet their new brother Riley late last year! Riley is the most outgoing of the three at daycare. He is very athletic and loves to play fetch. He always comes racing when we call him, and happily settles in for a back scratch.

Bailee and Delanee are much more reserved, but will leap and wrestle and race with each other when the mood strikes. Delanee is the biggest cuddler of the three, and Bailee likes the most independence.
