Training

So now that Deuce is neutered and recovered, I am going to start training and working with him more. He is going in for an evaluation on the 30th to see if he can go straight into intermediate class. I never put him in puppy class...I taught him myself. He is almost 8 months old and he can sit, down, stay, leave it, shake, "watch me", bang bang, spin in a circle, and walk loosely on a leash; I don't think that is half bad for me training him myself. That is all the main things they teach in puppy class, which is why I want to bypass that. If he is successful, we will start class in December. If all that goes well, we will start on training him to be a therapy dog. He just needs to get over his shyness.

Work is also picking up in business. This is good, as we are not sitting on our asses all day now. It's going to get crazy busy as the holidays get closer.

The Howl-O-Ween Yappy Hour party is on Tuesday! I bought Deuce's costume...well part of it, I have to make it now. I bought a wall clock, and I am going to put it on his back with a giant strap...instant 'watch dog'. You know your jealous. I want to put him in the "best costume" contest...but I don't know if I am aloud as I work there and all... Maybe I can at least have employee recognition or something. I will take a picture...no worries.

I'm glad you didn't go see the movie - I'm not going either!

Now...I want to know why you have NO pictures in your blog. I put lots of pictures in mine.

Miss you!
