One is Never Enough

Monday, January 18th, 2010

A friend of mine just purchased a new boxer puppy to go along with the 9-year-old lad he already owns.

Tie is a brindle male, and can be seen in this YouTube Clip.

Enter Newman into the fray, born December 29 2009.

Newman was 1 of 4 puppies from the litter, comprised of 2 boys and 2 ladies.

Ron gets to take him home in March, stay tuned for some interesting videos of Tie boxing the little guy.

BarBar Loves His BedBed

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

So Lars the energetic one, has developed an undeniable love for his bed.

He spends bountiful amounts of time on it, and if I ever need to find him for whatever reason, that is the first and only place I need to look.

Don’t get me wrong, he is the furthest thing from a lazy dog that exists whatever that thing may be, but he, without a doubt enjoys his leisure time.

Lars is a very energetic dog, and he has outlets for sure to burn off this energy whether it be from daily play sessions, guide work or actual trail running.

It is funny to see such an active dog spend so much time lying down, but Lars has developed a true passion for putting himself to bed, at anytime of day.

If anybody who did not know Lars were to see him on a daily basis, they’d think I work him to the bone, 8 hours a day.

He is not getting as much running time because of the winter weather we are dealing with but he is still logging 2 to 3 runs a week, plus all the playtime he demands, lol.

He reminds me a little of myself in a way due to his apparent need for lengthy naps during the day.

I work from home, and being a national team level track athlete, have the flexibility to train when I want, as much as I want and to nap as often as I can.

I keep telling Lars that maybe when he retires from guide work, he can sleep on the “big bed.”

The Good, The Bad, and The …

Pretty weird stretch of 3 days I’m in the midst of, not quite sure how this worked out the way it did but see for yourself:

January 10 is the anniversary of Luther and I meeting each other for the first time

January 11 is the anniversary of his death

The 12th day of the 4th month, April 12 was Luther’s birthday.

Told you it was weird.
