Odds & Ends

Tug's breeder emailed to say he's got a bunch of new little brothers and sisters- one of whom is a lover, too.

His newest sign of maturity is that he lets us know when he's ready to go to bed for the night. He always gets 'lured' into the crate with a treat so now he takes one of us by the hand and just applies a little pressure. Then he sits and looks pitiful. It used to be he barked if put in before Mama was going to bed- now he doesn't care if she's ready or not. He seems to favor 10pm.

Tug's first training class was this week- or should I say our first class? It's really about training the owners to handle the dogs properly. We found out that we were doing several things right already! :)
