| "It's All Greek To Me" |

Someone asked about My reference to Greek in my last blog entry. Well, in the past I've trained my dogs in both Greek and English. In fact here's a little humorous tidbit about one of those dogs, a Keeshond named Misty. Misty knew her commands in both languages but would sometimes act as if she did not understand English, especially if my Mother was trying to call her. Misty would always obey in Greek. The puppy, whenever it finally arrives, will be taught exclusively in Greek due to my housemate's two dogs knowing English only. It will just be less confusing for the pup. I've also contacted a "Sit Means Sit" trainer here locally and will be setting up a consultation meeting after the pup arrives and settles in. If anyone is interested, with the holiday season upon us, I do make hand-crafted jewelry for people and pets. My web site is http://piscesmagick.tripod.com/ |

| The day after Thanksgiving |

Well, we are all still stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner. Both dogs living with me now belong to my friend and housemate, Trish. Jamie is a Cockapoo and Joy is the rescue Yorkie that I think I told you all about before. Trish is definitely not the Alpha and sometimes the dogs, especially Jamie who tends to get into things, drive me crazy. But, there's just so much I can do. Good thing Jamie's cute (LOL). And neither dog is really totally out of control. So things could be much worse. One semi-sad note. I have to wait a bit longer to get my Toy Fox Terrier pup. Two different, experienced breeders felt two pups but when Holly was x-rayed there weren't any. She'll be back in heat in March or April and will be bred again then (AI or natural). This will give me time to remember my Greek for her commands. |
