Fear not - Furry Friend

Every Friday night, dog lovers gather round the glow-box to see the newest episode of the "Dog Whisperer." And every Saturday morning, the household's Fido is shocked by the change in behavior of the pack leader (ie his owner), armed with a couple of new behavior modification ideas. Shorter leashes, controlled growls, less eye contact, foreign hand signals, a reprimand for something formerly OK. Thankfully, resolutions may be quickly forgotten and the weekend only lasts two days, so the furries can retreat back to their loud, hedonistic ways on Monday, as the pack leader heads out to earn more cash for kibble. So - how do the critters cope with this startling weekend chaos? Easy - they just "close their eyes and think of England." :b

Firework was he fared the most, followed by car's back fire. He was 120 lb boxer, but he thought that he was a lap dog. Like his pack leader he didn't talk too much, only four five times in his 11 years short life. Yet when he talks, he surely get everyone's attention. He loves to play and boy he plays hard until one day he no longer can stand up. I knew from his eyes that he still wants to go hike on the beach sand dune every afternoon as we have done in past 11 years.
To have a furry friend is even harder than having a child. And short life span really puts a lot of stress on your emotion.
I heard that dog's sprite will hang out for a long long time with you. I can even hear his loud snore now. Sleep well my friend, sleep well.
