Back From the Dead

Hello, oh patient world. It's been forever and a day since I updated my blog. I remember when I announced to friends and family that I started a blog... my sister's remark was something to the effect, "Yeah, we'll see how long this lasts before it falls by the wayside."

Well, I was religiously posting three times per week... then once a week... then a couple times per month... and then poof.... I dissapeared.

But, HEY!!! I'm baaaaaaaaaack!!!

Above you should see the newest picture I have of my little pup, Premysl... or Premmy. While he's the epitome of puppy mischeviousness (or Premchevious, as my girlfriend Amy likes to call him), he's, on the whole, a good dog. He finished puppy preschool with the thought that EVERY dog and person is there for his playing enjoyment. We have since gradumated to basic dog obedience class... and that's less about playing and more about learning. It's not as much fun for him at all!! Once he finishes this... the question is... do we go to advanced obedience, acting or agility classes... or do we just let ol' Premmy be a run-of-the mill dog...

Premmy is a newly-crowned "it". He had his first surgery last week to emasculate his male essence. Poor guy. One of my co-workers is pissed that Premmy didn't get to "shoot his bullets." He says that I, "took his bullets and threw them away before he got to fire any of them!" So sad. He also got a micro chip inserted in his scruff... so he can be ID'd if he runs away!! But, that won't happen. He likes me too much, right?

What esle is new.... not a whole lot. I had a good x-mas... am anxious that my girlfriend Amy is about to get out of the hospital... free and clear of that pesky cancer!! Nice work, sweetie!

Thanks to all who sign my comment list... I enjoy reading them... and hopefully, you enjoy reading the mundane occurances that is my life!! =)

Doggy-Dog World!!!

Well, going through all the growing pains that is puppy ownership. Biting, jumping and constantly testing the boundries. I can't wait for the 26th. We enrolled our little youngling into puppy preschool. He learns to how to socialize and some behavioral correction stuff.

So, Premmy is 12-weeks-old now and my God how he has grown! In the four weeks I've had him... his personality has come out, he's grown and he's becoming way too smart for his own good. He figures crap out that I don't want him to figure out. He's got a vet appointment here on Tuesday (Oct. 17) and then he starts puppy preschool the following week. I think he'll enjoy preschool because he really likes to socialize... more with people than dogs. But, that's the vizsla way. He's a good people-dog!!

So, my sister is just full of little nuggets of wisdom when it comes to puppies. She told me to block off the back room because that's where he always went to the bathroom. Well, when I did that, he started telling me when he needed to go out. Voila! I now have a house-trained puppy. So, she also told me to get more toys so that he has different things to keep him busy. I did that Friday night... and his day is now too busy to get into too much trouble around the house. Plus, he seems a lot happier... which is really all the matters!!!

Hmmmmm.... what else is going on out my way? Got into a car accident. Nothing major. So, I made a U-turn at a disadventageous place.... and some high-Schooler clips my tail. Now, I've been thinking about it... how do you hit someone doing a U-turn unless you're doing one of two things: not paying attention; or tailgating... or a combination of the two!!! I dunno... I know that what it boils down to is that I shouldn't have done the U-ie there and that's probably why it would've been all my fault.

Well, that's about all that's happening out here in S-L-C!!! Hope all is well to those who read this.

....'till next time...
