Our hosts Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers, and Confessions of the Plume bring us into Week 24 of the Blog Hop as we approach Halloween! Quite a few pet bloggers are preparing for Halloween festivities, and I’m envious of those of you whose dogs don’t mind wearing stuff, and enjoying the photos. We’re not that creative here, plus the canine members of the team are not so tolerant of clothing. So Freya and Axel are going to be…. Rottweilers. Boo!

New Twitter, new task
This is my Twitter background peacefully coexisting with the old Twitter web interface:
This is my Twitter background rudely obliterated by the new Twitter web interface:
In order for your custom Twitter background to be viewable by most browser/screen resolution combinations, you should plan on using a width of 41 to 108 pixels for the important stuff. The photo on my background is 200 pixels wide.
Not sure yet whether I’m going to just shrink down my existing photo and text, or do a complete redesign. I’ll have to do one for the Total Rottweiler Magazine Twitter page as well. Adding to the to-do list now!

Saturday Pet Blogger Blog Hop, Week 23
Freya pops in to visit the Blog Hop this week…
…just patrolling the fence line for something. We aren’t sure what that something is, as we can see nothing that should be of that much interest. Maybe she’ll do a post of her own and tell us!
Meanwhile, Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers, and Confessions of the Plume have now brought us 23 weeks of the Pet Blogger Blog Hop. Almost six months of great pet blogs to read, and great pets and pet bloggers to meet! Thanks to all who make this so enjoyable.

Saturday Pet Blogger Blog Hop, Week 22
We missed several weeks of the Blog Hop during a very busy September, but here we are again finally, back for Week 22 (I hope I counted that right). It is great to come back to Blog Hop co-hosts Life With Dogs, Two Little Cavaliers, and Confessions of the Plume and all of the other pet bloggers for the Saturday Pet Blogger Blog Hop!

New month, a new blank page
It’s the start of a brand new month and October is one of my favorites. One thing I do like about the vast midwestern wasteland is the fall color change and the sunny yet cool days we get through September and most of October.
I’m going to take a shot at this month’s NaBloPoMo. The theme is “Play” and I’ve even made an Axel NaBloPoMo logo to display. The magazine (that would be Total Rottweiler Magazine) will be going to the printer sometime this weekend, a few projects have just wrapped up at work, and one other work project will wrap up on Monday, so I may actually have time to write.
But I’m not sure what I’m going to write about for an entire month. I won’t have much dog training news to report once we’re done with “The Five Minute Formula to a Brilliant Recall” course. I don’t think Freya and I will be continuing on in Rally Obedience or any other dog sports. I’m having very little success in getting her past her dislike of certain other dogs, and thus, very little confidence that she will be able to get through honor exercises or group exercises. She’ll be seven in November, so if her greatest joy will come from being retired and not having to deal with dogs she doesn’t like, then that’s what will happen.
I do owe you all a report on Axel’s last German-style conformation show. I’m waiting on his critique and photos. We’re coming up on one month after the show, so I’m hoping it will be very soon!
