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. [...]
Another dog training week has come and gone, but this time the weather was actually pleasant! After an orientation with snow flurries, a week of rain and mud, and a thunderstorm which canceled a class, I was loosing hope in actually having a nice night to train the pup. After a ridiculously hot April day [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Last week I made an entry on how I made a Flirt Pole for Syrus. Whenever the weather is nice, and my lawn isn’t muddy from rain, I take Syrus out for a good 15 minute session with his Flirt Pole. Surprisingly enough, this short session is generally jam-packed with lots of sprinting and diving. [...]
About three weeks ago my wife and I adopted Syrus. Like any new excited pet owner, we went out and made sure that he had a couple of toys to keep him occupied. The very first toy he was given was a Kong Classic. This toy is a hard rubber chew toy that is supposed [...]
A few weeks back, I wrote a post on how I have comfortably settled into a day to day routine that involves watching re-runs on television before dinner. While that hour, or so, after work may not have seemed like much, its tough to adjusting to doing something else in place of that activity. Since [...]
photo credit: nanoprobe67 Here is Pennsylvania the weather has been making a gradual change over to the warmer side of the thermometer. Since getting our puppy Syrus, I’ve been spending alot of time outside over the past three days. Sometimes my time is spent tossing an air dog toy, walking the pooch, or the dastardly [...]
On Saturday I posted that my wife and I had plans on going to a kennel and visiting out potential new family member. After an hour in the car, we arrived a little earlier than expected. We went inside and hung out looking at photos and reading pamphlets until the Kennel Coordinator arrived. After meeting [...]
