Dog Days of Fall...

Cough, cough....

Sorry... give me a sec while I tear down some cob webs and get this fine layer of dust off of my blog....

Thanks...

So, I've been busy with work and that's why the blog has fallen into serious ill-repair. Work, and my girlfriend bought a vizsla for us. I got to name him... it's Premysl, named after Saint Wenceslas of Bohemia. We call him "Premmy" for short. That's him to the right, there, just 12 hours after we got him. He was eight weeks there. He's now 10 weeks and two days!

So, I had him for a week and worked on the potty training... and that's progressing ever-so slowly. However, just this past Thursday, I started with some training and he's got a good command of "Sit!" and "Lay Down!" Good pup. I've also got him trained to sit before I open the front door... no charging out on me unexpectedly (yeah, right!).

But, on an unintentional training note. He has started to show some of his instincts. He is now sneaking up on his toys, going after the pigeons that like to roost on the neighbor's sill and he even points (or kicks) from time to time!

Okay, enough about the D-O-G. Anymore talk and he may wake up... and I need a little peace around here... whew...

So, the fam (less me) spent the last month in China. I wasn't invited. I'm not loved... heh, heh. Actually, I was busy with work so there was no way for me to go. Sounds like they had fun. It was weird, though, being THE only one in whole family left stateside!

And, I'd like to wrap up it up with a shout out to my girlfriend... the same one I mentioned in the first graph. She's beating cancer and well on her way to returning to a normal life. Way to go, hun!

'Till next time...
