Mowgli the Jerk


Molly and Dempsey moved to the city from Alaska last month, and last weekend, we decided to introduce the dogs. I have to say I was not overly optimistic about their chances of getting along, because Mowgs can be such a jerk sometimes. At first, they got along fine, sniffing, and peeing over each other's spots, and walking very nicely together. And then just after I took this picture, Mowgs picked a fight. Because he's a jerk. So now we're trying some new training methods, or different applications of previous methods. Clicker training a deaf dog is not an easy task, let me tell you, but I think he's starting to get the association between the flash of an LED light that I'm now using and the treat that follows. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, wish me luck.

Return of the prodigal neighbor

Today my girlfriend Madison came home from California. She and her mom had been away for so long I almost didn't recognize her when she came running down the hall. But she's home for good now and I couldn't be a happier pup.

Rita, Bryan, and Gonzo - my downtown pals

A few weeks ago, mom and I took the bus downtown to go hang out with her friends Rita and Bryan, and their son Gonzo.  Here's a picture of us that Rita took (Gonzo is the little fuzzy one, not the big fuzzy one):
We played inside for a while... 
...and then we went to the park.  Bryan rode his skateboard, and Gonzo and I ran along with him.
I wasn't sure mom was following us at first, but she and Rita were just behind us.
I had a really great time, and mom says that if I'm really good, we can go back for another visit sometime soon.

(and thanks to aunt Rita for all the awesome photos--hope your tooth feels better soon!)

Mowgli [hearts] Layla

This is my girlfriend, Layla. She is a Boston terrier and I am in love with her. She is older than me, by about a year, but I think it can work anyway, no matter how much Mom tries to warn me off older women. "I'm not you, Mom!"

A beautiful Sunday morning

This is me and my new boyfriend Moose at the 62nd street dog run. He is a boxer puppy. I am so glad Mom finally got over her fear of the dog run. I told her "I am deaf, Mom- not dumb. I will be just fine."

8 months and still growing!

Mom's camera is broken and she is not really very good at the whole camera-phone thing. But we have to acknowledge my 8-month birthday SOMEhow. So here is a shot of me last week, at a playdate with my pal Luna, an Italian spinoni who lives down the block. She is one of my best friends.

weekend at the shore

Mom and I went to the shore for the holiday weekend, and we had a lot of fun. I got to snooze in the sun...

and play with Libby...

and run around with our neighbors there, Roxy & Ruby (also Labradoodles). They are water dogs--which I am NOT--and they run much faster than I do, but we still all had a good time together.

The township doesn't allow dogs on the beach during the summer, but that's ok, because there was plenty of space for me to run around outside even without walking over to the ocean.

Mom's friend Annie came along, too. She is a good person to nap next to. I like her a lot.


I think Libby is still my favorite nap partner, though.

my vacation in Pennsylvania

A few weeks ago, Mom went on vacation to Tucson, and I went on vacation to Pennsylvania to stay with my aunt Libby and her mom. Libby is a labradoodle, which means she's a big dog.  But I'm not intimidated by her at all.  Plus I'm good at sharing, so we had a good time playing together.

It was lots of fun getting to run around the park and the backyard.



We kind of tired each other out, but that's ok, because I'm good at sharing the bed, too (and so is Libby).
