Sid Graduated from Puppy Preschool last night! wOOt!!! Now, the really wierd news, Sid won the longest "sit/stay"! MY DOG! I could not believe it! Thats all; just had to brag! :)

HAHHAHAHAHA! I think this is true for ALL dogs! ;)

I really like Rubi! I've decided if I ever have another baby ( a human one) and its a girl, I'm naming her Rubi Lou! I drive a jeep Rubicon and right now this is my daughter, so her name is Rubi too!

Ok, so, it took me literally 5 minutes to train Sid how to shake. He's been with me and i've been training him for 10 WEEKS on how to pee outside, does he get it? NO!!!! Oh well, I guess I'll have a peein' in the house, shakin' on command dog!

thank you all for your nice comments. I do have a question about Sid's Appearance though. It seems to me that he as an abnormally long snout. What do you all think? Is it like humans? some of us have bigger noses?

ahhh, that baby is SO cute! so is the one with NO fur! ;)

You are probably right. He probably didn't realize that I was what he was peeing on. I just felt so disrespected. I know what you are saying about human emotions, etc w/ dogs. Its just a feeling that I had! More than anything, I was STUNNED that he did this. Never in my life, have i had a...

So, Sid is enrolled in Puppy Preschool that we attend every Tuesday night. This is VERY fun and Sid has a GREAT time! So, last night we go to class. Sid is acting like he's never had any training whatsoever. He totally forgot everything. Well, we were working on a recall exercise, Sid is...

Oh yes, I've been in Iron Mutt several times. It is boxer themed, but all breed friendly. Its great to have a place that you can enjoy a cup of coffee with your pooch. Unfortunately, I have not had the chance to take Sid in there yet. It is very near my brother's house, so next time i take sid...

Thanks for the Pug village tip. I'm a member already, and have been for the last four years. I haven't been active much. I researched all the PDE info there as well as the PDE affiliated website. Lots of information. It is very sad that he is going through this, but with me being properly...

This last weekend I took a piece of plywood and cut it to size. I drilled some holes in the sides of it, and tied it in the crate with Zip Ties. That way as Sid grows, I can move the plywood back until he no longer needs it. Thankfully, Sid isn't a chewer, so I dont have to worry about that.

haha! Too cute. I love Quinn's first outfit!

Gresham huh? Do you belong to any local Boxer clubs? Are there any local boxer play groups? Thanks for the info! And everyone else, thank you for the warm welcome.

thank you for suggesting the UTI route! I was wondering this, but sort of put the thought aside because of the fact that he is a puppy. I will definetly call the vet and make an appt. Yes, Sid is in the crate for longer than 4-5 hours. Now that I have created a divider in the crate, he no...

Here are some pictures of Sid freezing his butt off in his first snow. He was about 9 weeks and was carried all the way to the park to play. He was on the ground for literally 30 seconds before he started to cry. Me being the push over mama that I am, picked him right up. He wiggled to get back...
