I feel the same way about my two Shetland Sheepdogs. They are a lot of work, but I could not imagine life without them. They are eight and nine now.

Tenn, you got me into a husky video rabbit hole. Huskies and French bulldogs are very talkative. Both make good videos.

Filled out the "how is your dog settling in?" survey from the shelter and asked if they had seen some of the behaviors we are seeing with resource guarding. They sent an email back that said that was why he had been surrendered to the shelter in another state to start with. The shelter we got him from said they didn't mention it to us because it had been a while since he was in that first home and we didn't have small children or other dogs so they thought he would be fine . All of this would have been nice to know so we could have been a little more prepared. So, looking for a trainer to come to the house and train us all on appropriate behavior and responses. He's a good boy. We'll work through this.

Dogs seem to get a lot of attention on this dog blog so I decided to give a cat a little attention. Room 8 the CatRoom 8 (1947–1968) was a neighborhood cat who wandered into a classroom in 1952 at Elysian Heights Elementary School in Echo Park, California. He lived in the school during the school year and then disappeared for the summer, returning when classes started again. This pattern continued without interruption until the mid-1960s.[1] News cameras would arrive at the school at the beginning of the year waiting for the cat's return; he became famous and would receive up to 100 letters a day addressed to him at the school. Eventually, he was featured in a documentary called Big Cat, Little Cat and a children's book, A Cat Called Room 8. Look magazine ran a three-page Room 8 feature by photographer Richard Hewett in November 1962, titled "Room 8: The School Cat". Leo Kottke wrote an instrumental called "Room 8" that was included in his 1971 album, Mudlark.[2] As he got older, Room 8 was injured in a cat fight and suffered from feline pneumonia, so a family near the school volunteered to take him in. The school's janitor would find him at the end of the school day and carry him across the street. His obituary in the Los Angeles Times rivaled that of major political figures, running three columns with a photograph. The cat was so famous that his obituary ran in papers as far away as Hartford, Connecticut. The students raised the funds for his gravestone.[1] He is buried at the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park in Calabasas, California. Elysian Heights Elementary School has a wall mural on the outside of the school that features Room 8, and the teachers read his book to each new class. Room 8's paw prints are immortalized in cement on the sidewalk outside the school. In 1972, a cat shelter was started in his name called The Room 8 Memorial Foundation. Link to article: link

Who's a good boy. Family Gives Dog His Own Graduation Photo So He Doesn't Feel Left OutWhen Alex graduated college last year, her graduation ceremony was unfortunately canceled due to the pandemic, so her parents planned her a graduation at home instead — which actually worked out better anyway because it meant Ollie could be there too. After posing for photos, Alex and her family realized that she and her sister both had graduation photos, but the third child of the family, Ollie, did not. And since they never want to leave Ollie out of anything they do, they decided to take some. Complete article here: link

I so wish the twins would let me dress them up. Especially Macy. She would be so cute!

Gohan is pretty mellow because of how he was trained and probably his personality. Although I loved the videos of him with runnies he's also filmed him being introduced to very small creatures (and safely too).
