You gotta get Fred a manly backpack and not a wimpy sweater. No wonder he was down in the dumps :). Poor Fred

All he was missing was a toque ( yea it's Canadian.. Look it up)

Lol. Mike

Well, it was a blue sweater, Mike,

Maybe you're right. Maybe he thought it looked too girlie. He did kind of give me a mean look when I put it on him.

But I think he's a little small for a backpack. Maybe I can tie a pack of doggie gum to his collar.

The other day my retard dog Harvey was chewing on a thumbtack! I kept hearing noises and yelps from under my desk and dumbass was trying to chew on a tack! Thank God I took it away from him before that ended up in another trip to the vet!

Anyway, my friend Trailer Park Tim, the guy who was visiting last weekend, sent me a video of his dog Blanco. He said he walks upright every time there is something he is interested in, like another dog. This is hilarious!

John from NY said this file is messing up his computer so I took it down until I can re upload it in another format.

Hi Vicky,

Thanks for removing this QT video. Sorry about all of this.

1. I took the youtube video out (of the above Purina commercial) which was my first edit of my post.

2. Somehow this may have adversely impacted the I.E. 9.0 browser. As such, I just shut it down completely.

3. I'm now working working in Chrome. I reloaded the video, my second edit, by using Chrome and it seems to be playing properly.

4. I opened the youtube website using the I.E. 9.0 browser and the commercial played properly.

5. Let me reload this page using I.E. 9.0. Let's see. Cross fingers.

U p d a t e

6. I'm back in using the I.E. 9.0 browser.

7. The video seems to be working properly now in I.E. 9.0.

Thanks.

So I learned a valuable lesson tonight...never feed your dog dinner and then play vigorously with him. He will barf his dinner all over your fucking living room !!!

Remember...play first....feed later :)

Or take him for a ride in you car. isn't it cool how our dogs are always teaching us new tricks??

Sorry, Mike, I know cleanup ain't fun.

Well we took the 3 of them to the dog beach this afternoon and Skittles was an absolute asshole. He earned the name Bastard of the Beach. I let him go and in less than 30 seconds he was in a fight with another dog. So I put him back on leash and kept him on for the next hour and a half while the other two got to play. Who ever thought Harvey would be the good one? lol... At the end I tried one more time, and within 15 seconds this time he was attacking a pitbull with a head bigger than it's body. The owner had to help me grab Skittles. I don't know what his F#*king problem is. He was in doggie daycare for 12 days... I called them all the time and they say he was good as gold. Plays well with all the other dogs. I tell them what he is like at the dogpark and beach and they said it's because he is with me. He is super protective of me. But when I'm not there he's awesome. WEll that's just great. So I'm never taking him again. At least not till he earns it. I'm going to be a lot tougher on all of them. They are spoiled rotten and get away with murder. Maybe I'll go back to obedience school with Skittles. Until he's better, for now I'll take him rollerblading for 3 miles superfast, exhaust his ass, then leave him home while I take the other 2 good ones to the beach or dogpark.

It sounds you and I have a couple of trouble makers on our hands. I found out yesterday that my dog isn't invited back to board overnight until he learns a little better behaviour. Last time we had him there he thought he was the boss and picked a few little fights to show the other dogs who was king of the kennel.

Lucky for us the lady who runs Chasin' Tails (our dog place) has just returned from handler training with the one and only Cesar Millan. She called us up and wants to work with Taz to see if we can make him a little more social. I'm excited to work with her and see what she has learned from Cesar.

$200.00 for 5 hours of training over three separate weeks..a small price to pay for hopefully a better dog in the future.

[stickyvicky]

I would gladly pay that.... that is awesome news! I think Skittles and Taz are peas in a pod, no wonder they wanted to kill each other when they were together!

I'm looking around for someone like that too.

So after a year and a half of undisciplined carnage at the Connie/Mike residence we had a private training session with Megan, a graduate of the Cesar Millan Dog Training Academy.

When we adopted Taz with the help of Vicky, we let him into our home and let him run the show. We didn't know any better...Well now the balance of power is being tilted back toward us.

Let me tell you folks, if you have never had a qualified dog trainer show you a thing or two about how to train and control your out of control pets, I'm here to tell you that whatever you have to pay is worth every penny. I learned more in 2 hours today than I have learned in the past 18 months. For the first time EVER I went for a walk with Taz and felt in complete control for the entire walk...first time ever that instead of the dog making the decisions and telling us what to do and where to go, we were actually the ones in charge....WOW! It was amazing.

Taz took to this training and the trainer like a duck to water. I can hardly wait for her to come back for training session # 2 in two weeks :)

[stickyvicky]

That is amazing news! I'm sooooo happy for you!

Know all to well about the dog park fights.
When all she wants to do is get the big stick out of the water. She might be a Border Collie mix but she loves to swim. I just wish we had a dog park near us now. Actually she would prefer to be back in the Arctic. The little Aussie is her annoying deaf and visually impaired little brother.
