Because I just don’t have enough to say about any one thing today.
- I thought it would be cute to teach “stop, drop, and roll” to the dogs for National Pet Fire Safety Day, which is Thursday, July 15. “Stop” and “drop” were no problem since they already know the moving stand, down in motion, and drop on recall. But who knew that “roll” would not be quite so easy to teach, especially to dogs who roll each other daily while wrestling? Thursday is not looking good, but maybe we’ll be ready for National Fire Prevention Week in October!
- I just realized that if Axel might actually be a stud dog one day, I need to put together a packet with his photos, pedigree, health certificates (I know, I know: cardiac and DNA), and other “credentials.” Finally, one of those rare moments in the dog game where my print production background is going to be useful! Axe is not holding his breath since he still has only a gallery and no real website.
- Speaking of Axe, we were watching Backdraft the other day. More specifically, I was watching Backdraft while Axe and Freya were napping nearby. Someone on screen said, “Hey, Axe” (one of the characters in the movie) and Axe the Rottweiler picked his head up, looked around sleepily, and resumed his nap. Okay, maybe you had to be there.
