Ok here's another one,
Lucy at home relaxing with her sister Sky on the leather lounge. This is the better life I was talking about. These two dogs are so spoilt, don't know where we lost control of us being the more superior one but they are cute

The way you can tell they're <b>really</b> spoiled is that <b>that's their own couch</b>.

(If my chair is empty for even a second - literally - Tinkerbell will hop in it and take my spot. It's both adorable and aggravating. :) )

Leah, Lucy Loo is a beautiful Beagle-O indeed. What a great job your sister has. Stressful at times I imagine, but what a great way to earn a buck, with your buddy right by your side.:)

Yes she does love her job, we were just so lucky to get Lucy, they asked my sister first if she wanted to take her home. I love her to bits. I'm the dog walker in the family cause my sister works shifts (as they do in an airport).

I am almost fearful of asking ...

What ARE "Witchitie Grubs" and why would they come in such a large box?

A brief web search reveals Fresha to be a manufacturer of juices. Apparently the Wichite Grubs are a rugby team...

Well there you go, I didn't know they were a foot ball team. But I do know that Witchetty grubs are fat white worm type critters that the aboriginals used to munch on. Apparently when cooked over a fire they taste like chicken, god knows how :vomit: cause they look absolutely horrifying.

So they do.

blech. To each his own I guess.

Hi perth, how is Houndie going?

Heh, heh, heh. I told you someone would ask about the grubs. :cool:

Yes you did Bruce, and I really didn't know they were a rugby team. Anyway you learn something new every day.:D

Oh NO , LAND ORCA !!!!!!

Uh, tougher than I expected, I guess. I suspect this is a lot less difficult with a pup. He is very defiant, and even after 4 days of 4 15 minute training sessions, I still cannot get him to sit reliably. I hold the treat out, say 'sit' and he looks at me like I just said the dumbest thing in history. And if I don't give the treat to him anyways, he starts barking. Lets be clear here. Not once have I ever given him a treat before he sat, so I really don't know why he expects it of me.

The pinch collar doesn't even faze him. I do not and will not ever jerk the chain, but I put the collar on, set the leash to where he can only walk next to me, and he tugs and tugs through the entire (about half an hour to 45 minute) walk. He's a monster.

The good part? Turns out he is housebroken. I don't know why he had problems with the previous owner, because we haven't even had one accident yet. That makes his attitude a bit more tolerable.

I really do believe this dog is trainable, but I am starting to worry that I simply don't have the time to devote to training him properly.

Oh, and my cat? She fucking hates him. She has gotten a lot friendlier with me though, for some reason. She was never interested in me unless her food bowl was empty. Now, shes always brushing up against.... oh. I just figured it out. shes marking me with her scent. God, pets are wierd.

Houdini name
 

I had a puppy we got off some no hopers (rscued him really) at the age of about 3 months. they had, as awful as it is, called him Snoop Dog. never was i about to be walking down the street yelling "Snoop Dog!!, Come here"

so we changed his name to Taz, but i had a bad habit of calling him "puppy, or baby'

once i stopped and stuck to Taz, he had no idea who he was. he has never ONCE come when called, if left unleashed he just runs and wont come back. so i would be careful when renaming him!!!

A good thing to feed dogs when he matures a little is dog food with RICE in it, it is Very good for them , found at woolworths usually.

good luck with the little cutie.

:cool:
