Training should pick up again soon.

Mommy has been busy and just having a little trouble adjusting to all the change lately, so my training has been kind of ignored. I know how to sit, down, speak, turn around, roll over and jump. It is a short list compared to the one mom wanted to have done by now, but she isn't getting discouraged by the slow ups. Mommy just purchased a book 101 Dog Tricks by Kyra Sundance on the recommendation of Ellie! Check our links to see Ellie's Diary. She is hoping this book will give her ideas and help her get inspired again.

Mommy finally bought a cord for the video camera, but its going to take a while to get it all uploaded, especially with her busy schedule.

Also I have been on two hunting trips so far, unfortunately both were windy days. The first day we didn't see a single squirrel. The second we saw a few, but they were timbering out and we never got a shot at them. Mommy is annoyed with my whining, but I'm only telling her I'm a little uncomfortable in an unfamiliar place and with them acting all weird and walking all slow.

I guess that will be it for now. Will try to write more when Mommy has the time to help me. She's been worried about Storm, because of a mysterious, so far undiagnosed skin condition. Although she is happy to report Storm's blood work looked great!

Bye for now!

Update.

Hey all you pups. Sorry I haven't been on in ages. Mommy and Daddy had to go to Louisiana because Daddy's grandmother was sick. I got to stay with my grandparents. Mac (our Yorkie brother) and I got along finally . . . or well for the most part. I was a good boy and got along famously with my grandmother. I love a warm lap!

As far as my "training" I have learned the concept of roll over, although I have trouble positioning myself for it and can't always follow through. Mommy keeps saying she is going to get the clicker out and start working on new tricks. Daddy had an injury and was on temporary disability so things have just been a little overwhelming lately. Anyway, I'm going to go pester Stormy. Will talk to you all later.

Good News!

I barely even noticed my discomfort today! I had lots of fun outside with Daddy and my sisters. So if your Mommy tricks you into this neuter thing, not to worry. You will be fine by the next day.

I supervised while Daddy picked up sticks from around the yard so that he could mow. I look so handsome in this picture, click for a closeup. I also spent lots of time playing with Stormy.

But when she had had enough, I left her alone so she could chew on a stick.

You don't mess with Stormy! Look at those teeth!

Also played with my Boer goat sisters, Julie and Sophie. Figured I would add a picture of them, since you have never met them officially. They are so fun to chase!

Look at silly Sophie trying to reach the leaves.

An interesting discovery was made today by yours truly! This weird looking bird is called a roadrunner and he lives in our neighborhood. He was playing on top of the shed. Isn't he cool??
