dog training

We badly need to put Maya through some re-training.  Unfortunately, she is still a hyper ball of energy and before training it's vital to tire her out.  Weather doesn't help with rainy days and being prego doesn't help either.  So, her runs are limited to the length of the leash - which doesn't seem to adversely affect her since she's happy to run circles - horse style.

It's been awhile since the pooch has had a tub bath... considering how warm it is outside - we might do it outside.  She doesn't know what's coming yet!  But I think overall she enjoys getting a bath and the clean feeling afterwards. 

Last night made up some vegetables with garden grown herbs.... it was 'ok'.  Think I need to come up with a few more recipes!

Happy May 1st!

Is your dog smart.. or too smart?

I know the last post was "How dirty is your dog?" but I didn't expect Maya to take it literally and personally!  She's just after eating 2/3 of a bar of Dove soap.  I didn't catch her because I thought she was chewing on her kong. 

She's not as bad as she used to be - at least the furniture is still intact.  But I suppose it's the labrador in her that is constantly hungry.  Do dog treats come in soap flavour?

Two nights, three guests, and one dirty dog.  Had the pleasure of meeting and dining with Lin Clark, Steph's future replacement at DERI.  Last night entertained some French friends visiting from Paris and so this morning was a nice affair with American style pancakes and maple syrup.  Once everyone left it was time to clean the house.  Floors mopped, doggie beds and assorted accessories thrown in the washing machine - the doggie herself was carried and promptly dumped in the tub for a royal scrubbing.

And like a storm.. they were gone!

The parental units were down this weekend for an incredible first Thanksgiving weekend at our new home in Medford.  We had a few eventful days!  For one, we are now the proud owners of our very own TV!  Doesn't seem like a big deal - but to go from a 17" old box set in Ireland - to a large sized flat screen (with better resolution than my computer screen), is a big deal!  We also obtained countless minor necessities from the likes of Ikea, Kmart, & Sears.  I have a rice cooker again! The house is back to being quiet and empty except for Maya and me...
