I have to change channels . They make me tear up . There was just a puppy mill situation up in Massachusetts I saw on the news yesterday where they took 60+ small dogs to various shelters . I want to take them so bad but time/money/HOA issues won't let me .

I just tell myself I have to do it one at a time and that there will be one waiting for me when the time comes .

I would honestly be ok being surrounded by rescue dogs for the rest of my life . I like humans but if I had to choose...

I would choose dogs over humans too in a heartbeat. When has my dog ever let me down? Never!!

Humans are OK. Dogs are better.

The lady knitted a sweater for the baby. She needs a good walk in the morning but it's still in the upper 30's low 40's and she'll get cold.

Took her out to a trail the other day for a long walk and we jogged for a mile or so. It was a nice afternoon and she had a good time.

Now to go find her a buddy. I'm checking the shelters daily for something that might be a good fit. We want to get a smaller dog.

all day barking at the cows. The cows have learned and don’t even give a fuck even the young ones now. They’ll eat grass right up to the fence with him howling right at them 10’ away. They piss him off BIG TIME

Well, Bluey graduated his Elementary Manners class tonight. He's officially been obedience trained. Still not quite obedient though lol. He pretty much knew everything in the class already. But it was good for me to learn different ways of doing things. And the socializing. And I learned a tip or two. Might sign him up for the next class in the dead of summer if I ever slow down at work. We'll see.

Is he well mannered when walking on the leash? That's a pretty good control and training mechanism especially if you use both long and short leads. He is pretty f'ing cute.

That is certainly one area that I think he will forever need work on LOL. If I use the no-pull harness he has no choice but to be pretty good. If I'm just clipped on his collar, forget about it. He does know that heel means to come to my left side and to get ready to walk. But just recall in general and leash walking both need tightened up quite a bit. The limitations to his training are solely on my limitations as a trainer.

With my last ridgeback I picked up one of these
To help train him to walk next to me. He was one stubborn dude.

Lenny has a harness for walks and when he just generally needs to be leashed.
