Shit head decided to roll in a dead animal this morning. Nothing like giving the dog a bath at 530 in the morning.

Crosby is a roller....in anything stinky. (My buddy calls him shitneck because he rolled in shit on 2 consecutive hikes with him). Death is always the ultimate win for him. In fact, 2x in about 6 weeks is what convinced me to teach him to come to me on an electric leash. I still use it when in the woods, just in case, he is onto something that is too good for him to pass up.

I've been warning him about the electric leash. He totally ignores me.

What's up Doc??

He's a beaut, Camp. Looks mostly AmSfaff?

We got his DNA results back.
50% AmStaff
25% American Bulldog
25% Vizsla
He's a good mut

Here's a crappy cell phone video of Moira working off the zoomies and practising recall on the long line. She's fast.

That's so cool. I never thought I would say this but rescuing a dog is the only way to go, for me.

Yes, it is very rewarding. Though we really lucked out with Moira, she is a real star right off the bat.

We've had Teddy for about 4 months now. One of the reasons he was the last of his group of dogs to be adopted was that he was not neutered when we got him. I guess that's an expense most folks can't afford out of hand. Now I know why! But Teddy is our boy and even though I had some reservations about neutering him (all related to my guilt) we went ahead and did it about a month ago. Teddy was about as thrilled wearing this nice collar as I was about paying the bill:

Big blue buttercup is not his best look! Anyway he was a great patient and put up with it.
The benefit of neutering him is still evolving but it did cure a lot of his jumpiness and skittishness. And it diminished his pungent beagle odor which was at times overwhelming, mostly for outside visitors. Teddy has become very sociable and loves his family:

Ted has become well trained on the leash and walks next to whoever is walking him. I have him on a 30' retractable leash so we also get him outside and running in a circle like a tether car. I'm amazed how much he loves doing that and he will do so to the point of exhaustion, changing directions frequently.
Next up is building him an enclosure to romp in.
