Guinness' Ornament

Now that Guinness is part of our family, he needs a Christmas ornament of his own. We went back to Itty Bitty Barkers on etsy which is where we ordered Basil's ornament from. The artist even put a white spot on the back of it's neck.

Guinness hangs his ornament on our tree.

Ok, Santa. We're ready!

Maw decorated our crate and we're all ready to go! I hope I get a full stocking!

Are you ready for Santa? What did you ask Santa for?

Guinness has a booboo

Maw and paw found a nasty booboo on my neck last week. It started as a bald spot, then scabbed over, then got all nasty and pus was coming from it. Basil tried to help me and lick it, but it hurt.

Maw tied this hanky around my neck to cover my booboo. Doesn't it make me look distinguished?

Maw took me to the vet and they gave me antibiotics. I will be better next week.

Booboo after it was already healing 1 week.

I'm a boob man

Are you?

Training: How to Meet-n-Greet Politely

On Saturday, our trainer Renee came over again along with Ellie Mae and her mom! We worked on the "meet n greet" when a new dog approaches, leash walking and showed Renee how well we sit in our bed while waiting for new people to arrive at the front door.

Ellie wuvs to pay wif us!

Some things maw learned. When a dog furiend is coming over for a play date, put the boys on leashes and go out into the back yard. We're not allowed to jump all over the fence and get rowdy. Maw has to take the leashes and walk us far far far away from the fence and give the furiend room to come inside. Then let the leashes drag and we're allowed to go sniff and play! Sometimes we get overexcited and need to be called away and have a little break. Then we're allowed to go back to playing.

Guinness must have had a good experience with Ellie because then he had a great play date with our neighbor Carmel the lab the next day! Maw made sure she wore Carmel out a wittle first. He sniffed all throughout our yard and then we came outside. Guinness did play bows and ran around with Carmel. It was a good positive experience for him. Maw felt so proud.

Next: Maw has to do distance work with Basil while in a down/stay.

Basil in Lights

Very funny...

Frenchie Magnets

Maw and paw went for a womantic weeeeekend in New Hope, NJ. They walked around, had ice cream and went shopping. Deyr were wots of stores selling dog stuff.

Maw went into this store and look what's missing? I guess we're just that pawpular huh?

Oh that's an improvement.

No, no this one is better.
