This is my daughter “Squishy Bumpkins” with our 3 month old Great Pyranees, Aslan. He’s just a giant lump of a puppy and prefers following me around and trying to herd the kids to other puppy activities. He enjoys stuffed ducks, big chunks of ice and long walks….except when he doesn’t and decides to just sit in the middle of the road and not move.

You’re doing great things, Todd! Keep it up! PS I think you should make a cartoon from your idea for “speed hating” because that cracked me up.

This is my puppy Nikko. He’s possibly the biggest most clumsy goof ball I have ever seen. He’s 9 months old now. He has more character than any animal I’ve spent any time with before. He’s acquired this magical power to know when you’re upset and will cuddle with you for hours when you are. His favorite toy used to be this little pink stuffed Easter bunny which he would carry everywhere with him and cuddle up with in his crate every night…..And then our labs tore out it’s insides and Nikko mourned it forever. He makes a new friend everywhere we go…He just has this huge personality that you can’t help but love….and he’s a master at the art of the sad puppy dog eyes. He’s my goofy baby boy, big ball of muscle and I couldn’t imagine life without him.

This is Rudi. She was a Christmas gift for my five year old daughter Julie. Julie hinted at wanting a cat but mom is allergic so we decided to go with a small dog instead. We already have two big dogs and this little gal moved in and took over. They answer to her now. It’s kind of pathetic watching her lead the charge into the back yard after a rabbit with two 80 pound dogs following her lead.

Hey todder!!!! You are awesome, love your work. And so does my cat, miss doily meow meow…..

This would be her, watching tv. I had to do a lil cropping as to not send you proof that i do in fact smoke the wacky tobaccy.

More to come…..just not on my work computer….

BTW-I’m from boston and just got my water back. First thing i did during the ‘boil water’ order was boil for doil….as well as our other roommate Gabby the litter-trained bunny.

If only I could figure out how to get pics off my blasted iphone…

I’ve wondered if it’s pent up frustration over the fact that he can’t talk. Or maybe it’s just his idea of conversation. I don’t mind it once in a while but for years now he’s had this barking issue. But recently, I decided to not give in every time he requests to bark. Sometimes I’ll deny the bark. To let him know that he’s not the boss of me. Plus, it’s annoying alot. So for the past few weeks I’ve been trying to train it out of him. One night barks. Next night– no barks. Or less barks. Or whatever. I don’t feel bad about it because he’s the friggin luckiest dog in the world (except for the no-balls thing).

Anyway, once in a while Roscoe will get in a fight. I always break it up right away of course. And he’ll very rarely start the fight. It’s usually some a-hole dog who keep biting at his back legs or trying to flip him on his back or something. Missing the f-off signals. Rarely, any bites happen at dog park. This is sort of like bullshit posture fighting. There’s a stage before they actually want to do damage and go into the red zone.

But here’s the thing, when I took Roscoe off his barking ritual– he started getting in more fights. And last week, he started a fight with some dog that I wasn’t being a dick! (yet) I just saw Roscoe kind of— be the dick! Just launched in! I took him out of the park right away and was like, ‘WTF dude! Pre-emptive strike?! That’s not cool! It kind of freaked me out.’ (Although I do believe that dog was probably gonna be a dick soon).

The only other thing that’s changed recently is his bark denial. So I immediately reinstated Roscoe’s 7PM barking schedule. I let him get his barks out as per usual. And for the past three days there’s been no fights at all. He seems happier. I honestly believe that pent up whatever that involves getting his barks out leads to an emotional stability and drains aggression.

So I guess I’m stuck with it now. Roscoe doesn’t really ask alot of me so I figure if this is something he needs– I should just give it up. Because if the alternative is him being the dick dog at dog park and starting unnecessary fights… then it’s me that’s actually being the dick.

ok bye!

PS. Magnets are in the mail. + Here’s a video a made a while ago of Roscoe barking to Radar…
