Zeke 9/8/11

Recently Zeke has been easing into comfortableness and has expressed it like an orphan. He keeps sneaking food out of the trash, running after rabbits, and once he chewed on a "cookie" from Daffy's litter box! One morning, I was trying to get him to pee in the backyard on a leash because of the rabbits, and he wouldn't pee! I was out there for literally fifteen minutes walking around our backyard. So I took him on his morning walk and came back, and he still hadn't peed yet. He came inside and stood by the backdoor, and in a couple seconds I heard shouts of, "Ah! What's he doing?" "Mom, he's peeing!" I immediately stopped him and had my sis take him outside to finish his business as my mom and I soaked up the accident with ShamWOWs. He also chewed on some of my stuffed animals, but there was no wear or tear except for the eyeball he had previously pulled off was lying on the floor longing for its owner. Other than that he's been good, heels on walks, and gets along tolerably with the cat. I'm teaching him to fetch a pencil and play dead when I loom over him with my arms waving and me roaring like a bear. He's adorable when he's looking up at me with his ears back and his chin down, like: "I'm a good dog, hm?"

Boggie and Zeke 8/22/11

I recently got my own dog, Zeke, and I took him to Boggie's today. He had already been there before, but I didn't write about it. They were not very good today. Leah came, so I could make sure she knew what she was doing, which she did, but Boggie and Zeke were wild. Well, Boggie isn't wild, but he's a pushover. We were running down the hill and they decided to go left, ignore our calls, and then right down to the pond! They didn't jump in, but they still ignored us. Then they just didn't follow orders. Strict re-enforcement will be given to Zeke, and I hope Boggie will grow some backbone. Other than that, they were good, and they did come back, I just needed to rant. So thank you and goodbye. =]

My New Dog!!!!!!!!!!

Three days ago I got a new dog. He's a goldendoodle and his name is Zeke. Here's some pictures:

Isn't he cute?

Boggie 4/28/11

Boggie's substitute forgot something important yesterday, so she worked hard on remembering it today. She did pretty good, although I had to remind her the first few times. We had a good walk, and started to watch a movie, but we couldn't find the remote. Boggie wad good.

Boggie 4/27/11

Today was pretty hot. Summers are good for walking dogs because they get tired quicker. My substitute-in-training was good today. Boggie had fun, too! We walked for about half an hour. My little trainee is going to come let him out around three, because I will not be home until six. This is a good opportunity because she will be able to try by herself before I leave. I'm getting a new haircut today if I can! Yaaaayyyy!!! ^.^

Boggie 4/28/11 (4:30)

I did not walk Boggie very long, because we have company over, and I'm not sure we're even supposed to walk him when we come over in the evenings. I took him to my house, kingdom of the cat as he thinks, and brought him inside. I had him sit by the fridge and I gave him some cheese for being such a good boy and to associate my house with good things. Then I fed him an. Let him go potty. Bye, Boggie!

Boggie 4/26/11

It's my brother's birthday today! Yay! ^.^ He's seventeen now! Anyways, my review of Boggie's substitute walker is this: B. She is very good, but she forgets things sometimes, although that is expected, and she let's Boggie go ahead of her a little more than he should. That is fine with a dog like Boggie, though. He is very calm and knows his boundaries. He doesn't respond to her as well because she is very laid back and doesn't know/remember all the words for the commands. Overall I'd say she is the perfect girl for the job! She is going to let him out to go potty all by herself tomorrow at three because I will not be available till five-ish. She will not be available for the four-thirty thing on thursday. Bye, Boggie!

P.S. Boggie's owner: my bro will be home soon and I know he'll love the card you gave him!

Boggie 4/25/11 (4:30)

We went back today and walked Boggie for fifteen minutes, then we made him lie down whilst we put two half cups of dog food into his bowl. I mixed it with my hands to make it smell more like me, then he ate it and we left.

Boggie 4/25/11

Today was fun! I got my neighborhood friend and "trained" her in the way of the dog walker. =p She is very good and Boggie really likes her. Tomorrow she will try walking him without my help. I'll just watch and give her a grade! ;3 We walked for half an hour then played DS and then went home. We will come back at four! Bye, Boggie!

Boggie and Penny 4/21/11

Today was an utter fail walking to Boggie's. I was almost there when I realized I was walking there in my slippers! I wasn't about to go back, so I got Boggie, who was playful, and Penny, who was wagging her stubby tail really hard, and went on a walk in my fuzzy slippers. I passed by the house and changed into my flip-flops. We went by our friends' house and while Penny was pooping, Boggie peed on her leg! I have no idea why. Maybe he just missed or something. They were good on the walk, although I tripped on Penny a lot. I do that frequently. We walked for an hour then came back. Would Penny's owner like me to teach her any tricks?

Boggie, Penny and Hope 4/20/11

Hope the Walker Hound (I keep calling her Lucy) was at Boggie's today. She is the cleaning lady's teenage-ish puppy. Penny did not seen to want to walk today. She pulled backwards a little on our walk. Boggie pulled forward a little. Hope was great, but he got distracted some. I walked Boggie an Penny on one side, my left, and Hope on the other side, my right. We walked for about half an hour before they were tired and hot. They were awesome! It must have been so funny to see a thirteen-year-old girl walking three giant dogs who stayed by her side! Anyways, bye, Boggie! ^.^

Boggie and Penny 4/8/11

Penny was happy to see me today. Her little stump tail wagged! Today I decided to use Boggie's nose to trigger him out of his fixation. We walked for half an hour and Penny's allergies fired up. Then when we came back I turned on my music to relax me and I got out my special dollar tree treats and takins the flashlight across the room. Then I took the smelly treats and called the dogs. Whenever they came I gave them a treat. Boggie stayed near me so I had him do some tricks like a training session like the flashlight wasn't even there. Boggie seemed much calmer because Penny was there and I had him lie on his side. He did pretty well and he trembled a little when we were done but that's normal. He did well. It was a good day. Bye, Boggie!

Boggie 4/14/11

It was soo pretty today! We walked for an hour and Bogie enjoyed it. He is making great progress in his tricks! He is a heavy boy and so needs to hold on to my arm when he begs but he does good anyways. Nothing much to tell. He is a blessing to walk! ^.^ Bye, Boggie!
