Interesting Weekend Highlights

let's see if we can summarize this weekends highlights
  • everlasting treatball is a hit, perhaps too much of one. it required us to take it away from chibi/sumo after 10-15 minutes each time. one inevitably gets too close to the other's ball, and a "not so happy" moment occurs, requiring discipline on both dogs. however, they "are" getting better at respecting each other's space/toys, as well as the reaction when that space is not observed
  • sumo was quickly adjusted to cha-chan and papi's house. ignored the small white fur ball's attempts at being "in charge", and then proceeded to find all the hidden treats, and then take a nap
  • chibi in heat is not a fun thing/time
  • sumo is a fountain of neverending pee. we brought back out the bed we bought for him (after laundering it, and putting it away for a week or s0). he proceeded to play with it, dig in it, put his toys in it, lay in it, then when we werent looking for 2 minutes, fill it full of pee like a mini-yard pool (after just going outside an peeing 20 minutes earlier). there is something about that bed, and him peeing. he hasnt had any accidents this weekend or even the few days before that. just that bed. maybe he doesnt like the color blue.
  • sumo is officially a cuddler. hey may fill the role that chibi was supposed to be and cuddle with kiki at night on her bed (when he's old enough to be trusted on the bed). chibi will sleep next to you, but has a tendancy to move around after a while and prefers sleeping on the floor away from you (but in the same room or near you)
  • not sure if it's a boy/girl thing, but sumo pees/poops fast and wants back inside asap (ala tomo-dog). chibi sniffs sniffs sniffs sniffs, etc.. then pees/poops
  • not sure if we'll go back to formal "doggie puppy training" for sumo. we're waiting to see how we do using our BKM's from chibi, but there may be some 2 dog specifics we'll need help with

that's all for now...might think of more later

ps. for those of you who are in need of puppy (and/or doggie) training (or sitting/walking service), call www.caninecommands.com . tell them chibi/sumo sent you
