Run, Wrigley, Run

As promised, I have taken a few more videos of Addy running around and well... acting like a DOG. Admittedly, she is a pesky little sister kind of dog, but Wrigley seems to be patient enough. Plus, it certainly won't hurt if he can parlay this exercise into losing a few pounds (but don't tell him I said so!).

Addy loves to chase Wrigley all around the deck and he loves to run from her. You will also notice that Wrigley is too big to fit between the deck slats, but Addy fits just fine. Once she catches up to him she tries to pull on his collar to get him to resume playtime. It doesn't usually work because by the time Wrigley starts to try to escape her for real and not just for the game, he is dead tired.

What a good brother he is.

Gross Misinformation

This has to be one of the most uninformed and silly articles I have ever read (and that is putting it mildly). Amidst all of the stories about the amazing recovery of the Vick dogs and their ability to lead normal lives as DOGS (which is what they are - not unstoppable monsters), people still believe things like the mess in this article. I agree that there is a lot of irresponsible and negligent pit bull ownership out there, but that still does not make the dogs bad. It just makes those responsible pit bull owners (which is where I believe I fit in) have to work that much harder in order for our dogs to be treated normally. I feel horrible for the people and the dogs who are harmed by carless owners who don't train or contain their dogs. The first rule of dog ownership and training is not to set your dog up to fail.

Pit bull owners typically fall into two categories:

Creeps.

Or imbeciles.

My Favorte Commercial of All Time

Hoodies

Last week there was a shipping sale at JBPet.com, so I picked up these hoodies for Addy and Probert. Cornholio used to have a red one just like this and it was so cute. The pups probably won't wear them until the fall, but now they have them. Addy's is a little tight and I'm worried she will grow out of it. I guess we'll see!

Thanks, Mom!

Dog Packs

Hello, Friends! I hope all of the dog moms and human moms and motherly types had a great Mother's Day! I received a card from MY mom telling me to enjoy the day with my 4- and 3-legged children. Also, the pups got me a card and the Slumdog Millionaire DVD, which I watched last night curled up on the couch with Maizy and Addy. A great way to spend any evening, I think!

All of the pups are doing well. Addy and Probert got into a little scuffle about a week ago, and since then we've been keeping them apart, which is working out just fine. When it's time to go outside, Addy and Wrigley go out together and Probert and Maizy go out together, typically. Sometimes Probert goes out alone and the other three go together, which seems to suit Probert just fine. I think he would be quite happy as an only dog, but life is not always fair. ;)

Anyway, here is a picture of Addy and Wrigley. She bullies him a little bit, but that is mostly because he's such a baby and if she even looks at him, he takes off running. This morning they had a great time chasing eachother around and around and around the deck railing, though. It is quite cute. I think Wrigley is happy to have a friend.
