Hi everyone! Just a quick post to let everyone know that "Black Friday" the shopping day after "Thanksgiving" now has a new meaning according to my little brother Benji.
I guess since we were so stuffed from Thanksgiving, Mommy let us outside early in the morning on "Black Friday" at 3am. Well, guess what, Benji made his first poo-poo in the yard on "Black Friday"at 3am!
Guess now we finally know the doggie meaning of term "Black" Friday. "Poo-poo" Friday just doesn't seem to have the same ring to it.
Way to go, Benji!
Still a long way to go with Potty training, but Benji has made several poo and pee in the yard over the holiday weekend. Mommy is so proud!
Have a great day!
Lassiter Chase and Benjamin the Shelties
P.S. Still need to get caught up on reading blogs, butt, Mommy took forever updating our profile picture this morning. We will get caught up during the week. What a busy weekend!
Mommy recorded a video of us ages ago on November 11, 2011.
I had to keep barking at Mommy -- aren't you ever going to help me post our video!
Finally, enough barking was enough -- and Mommy is finally posting the video.
Mommy made a "Ghetto Jump" for me last year. She thought it would be fun to try it out-- FUN FOR WHO, I say! I call it the "Ghetto Jump" because 1) Mommy made it herself out of those pipes they use in the yard, so it falls apart all the time 2) Mommy didn't know what any of the correct dimensions were supposed to be -- so she guessed the heights and she has no idea if it is too high or too low or what... 3) one of the bars that goes up on the one side of the jump is made with small pipes and a connecter piece -- because Mommy was too lazy to cut another piece of pipe to match the size of the pipe going up on the opposite side -- so she just used 2 small pieces she found in the shed and connected them together. She says -- the heights look good enough -- butt, I beg to differ!
Needless to say, I don't want to be seen in public with the Ghetto Jump -- what would the neighbor's dogs think!
So, I do my jumping indoors. Well, I usually show Mommy I can jump -- but I just refuse to jump over that thing most of the time. So, it's usually pointless to even bring out the Ghetto Jump.
Well, on November 11th, Mommy brought out the Ghetto Jump and thought it would be cute for Benji to crawl under the jump --- boy was Mommy surprised at what happened next! You have to see the video!
Mommy didn't edit the beginning part of the video -- she was tempted, but figured in case anyone else has a puppy -- this was a learning experience about the dog's rear end awareness -- and she is happy with the end results! (Mommy says that's pretty good for a 3 month old puppy!)
Hope you like our video! Oh, sorry the video is so dark, Mommy taped it at like 8 at night in our back room in the house, and didn't have all the lights on in the room.
P.S. We aren't professional agility dogs! Mommy would give us dogs a bad name if we entered an agility contest. Let's face it, Mommy isn't in the best of shape, and has a bum knee that acts up when she overdoes things. She would probably be huffing and puffing and crawling on her hands and her good knee trying to find the finish line, and us dogs would probably be covering our eyes with our paws and shaking our heads until it was over. So, it's best to leave the agility to the professionals -- and that's not us! We wouldn't want to give the Sheltie Name a bad reputation -- so we are keeping Mommy away from an agility course!
