Bo

Here is another video of Bo being cute.

Bo Does Sit, Lie Down, Give

Check out a video of Bo's training at this link.

Bo's Training

Because Bo will be such a big boy, we've been working on a lot of commands,
leash walking, and socialization.
He loves strangers and love love loves other dogs.
He ignores Baloo, Marge, and Wapiti (the cats) most of the time,
but gets excited when they tease him (walk into his partitioned room)
or when they run.

The commands he is currently learning are as follows:
Sit (he almost has this one completely figured out)
Lie Down
Kisses
Stay
Let's Go (Heel - he also has been good with this since before we adopted him)
Come
Leave It
Look (Pay Attention)
Stop (Wait)
Go Potty
Give

He also knows his name and 'No.'
Since he's teething, he's been mouthing a lot,
so we're working on 'No Biting,' though he doesn't bite hard.
He also barks or howls when he hears other dogs in the neighborhood barking.

We'll add videos as he masters these commands.
Which others should we teach him?

Hail

I call this video
"How To Achieve the 'Antique-Look' on Furniture in Colorado"


This hailstorm destroyed a lot of the foliage on our veggies.
The hail was marble-sized.

This is what was leftover the following morning.

Dog Baby

We adopted a Newfoundland puppy on Monday!
His name is Bucephalus (Bo)--Alexander the Great's black horse.
He is 5 months old, 71 lbs., and
blind in his left eye from an accident when he was very young.
The shelter, Tinker's Dream, expects him to be about 150-160 lbs. as an adult.
