Syrus gets a new Veterinarian

The day before Reading was hit with more than eighteen-inches of snow, Syrus was acting a little strange. He seemed to be favoring one of his hind legs, at the time I simply thought he must have slept on it improperly and it fell asleep.
After his morning outing, he came into the house walking on [...]

Woke up to Syrus using my arm for a pillow

The dog owners out there reading this can probably relate to how my night winds down. Before my head hits the pillow, my wife and I move throughout the house taking care a of a few things. We make sure the lights are all doused, with the exception of the light on our refrigerator door, [...]

My Clingy Pit Bull

Pit Bulls are a very special breed of dog. They get a very bad rap, which in many cases they do not deserve. This post is not meant to change your opinion on the breed, but to point out a personality quirk of my own dog Syrus.
When my wife and I adopted Syrus, we began [...]

Shooting The Breeze: More Dog Talk

This week I had plans on either doing a review for Stogie Review or a First Impressions video for this site. Before firing up the camera I discovered that Stogie Review was having server issues. Getting frustrated with the situation, I figured that it wasn’t the best time to try and focus on a cigar [...]

Shooting The Breeze: Dog Training Progression

Over the past few weeks I have been trying to shoot a video to share a few words on how Syrus’ obedience training has been going. This week I was unable to attend the class and my wife filled in for me. Without any first hand information, I decided to skip the video this week. [...]

Shooting The Breeze: Dog Training Week 2

Last week I went on to tell you all about the obedience class Syrus and I attended. It was dreary, cold, and wet. This week the weather was beautiful earlier on in the day, so I was looking forward the weather during class.
At 6:00 PM my wife and I packed up the car and headed [...]

First Dog Traininig Class in the Books

Just a few minutes before writing this post, I walked through my front door with Syrus. Our first Dog Training class was complete and I couldn’t be happier with the little guy. We had a couple of stressful moments but in the end it exceeded my expectations.
Just like kid on his first day if high [...]

Training Starts Tonight

This post comes a little later than usual. After a long day of yard work yesterday, and an unexpected visit, I just didn’t feel like writing up something before calling it a night. The topic I wanted to touch on was Dog Training Classes.
I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but Syrus is scheduled [...]

R.I.P. Kong Wubba

So last week I put together a blog post about Syrus’ new toy, The Kong Wubba. This was purchased on clearance at Petsmart and cost me about $9.00. Syrus took to it really fast and the toy was a hit. It withstood lots of gnawing and pouncing and showed some minor signs of wear.
It seems [...]
