TNG Kritters

Me and Sonko listening to the Giants game..World Series game one... ttfn

Today is more training for Sonko and Zara..here at home (part of the homework they have). I still have to figure out how to attach the fur (faux) to the dowel ... Busy day for me and the pups today. My day off and lots of cleaning and training to do! And no photos since they ate my new little camera. Unless I use my cell phone or video camera...humm...an idea!  ttfn

Took Sonko to his first lesson in lure coursing! He did the alligator roll while on the lead. Then he saw all the yummy cow patties and horse patties!! So many new and yummy smells and tastes!! When we got his attention on the lure...he chased not the lure but the person jogging with it! Caught up and said HI!! Can I give you a kiss with my patty mouth! ? He loved all the people there, was more interested in them then the lure. Well the patties were his favorite. We have home work. And lots of it! Zara didn't go this time. I need to get another crate..Mine are all too small!!  Sorry no photos. I got to help out a bit before I had to leave. (have to work). ttfn

Sonko and Zara getting ready for their next round of puppy play. And testing out different settings on my tiny camera. Love the wrinkles! Sonko's ears stay up... His left ear is getting stronger. Zaramama ttfn

Sonko is still not so good with a leash. But getting better! Had to leave him a trail of liver brownies to get him to the car!! We went to Nick Grill for a hamburger patty for Sonko and a banana/strawberry shake for me. He gave the owners kisses and tail wags!!  His burger patty was cut up and in a paper bowl. Next we went to the bank. (Used the outside atm.) Happy Tails Barkery was next.  He met a small dog and a kid, and adults, beside the workers. Bought more liver brownies. Sonko got to try on some shirts. Clothes shopping was little disappointing, very good selection but the sizing! The mediums were way too small and the large is WAY too big. Sonko needed a size between! But I spotted the NFL shirts and  the medium fits him, for now. :o) After clothes shopping we stopped by my work to say hi. Sonko got to meet lots of people. I carried him since he is not supposed to be in there. Zara was happy to see him and of course sh...

Sonko and Zara are wearing collars made of soy! At least they are taking to the collars better than the all in one leads I had on them two days ago. Poor Sonko curled up in a ball and whimpered with the above leather lead/collar combo.  I tried to set him at ease by having Simba the happy boy with him..no Sonko ignored all around him, he was down and just about out. I got him to stand and watch me with Zara. Zara was like what the heck is that!? I called them from different points in the yard (with liver brownies).  Zara, "yes liver brownies!" But I'm stuck..oh, not really stuck, I can move!!! YEAH!! I can run!!! Nom nom nom, yummy liver brownie. Run some more!!! Look out! Here comes Cricket the cat! She is chasing Zara's leash! It was funny. All that going on, Sonko was stuck, least he was standing. Now alert to what was going on around him (no longer going down into depths of despair). He wanted a brownie!!!! He took a step!! I went over to him and praised ...

This is how my "kids" sleep when I'm on the computer and streaming with Roku. They make me smile! The "cow" is one of Sonko's favorite stuffed toys...inside joke, just saying he "really" loves it. Then there is the Toy stash. The kids like to hunt and then gather their toys..sometimes I will find them piled outside and then find them all back inside again!  ttfn

Every time I bath Sonko, he whines, talks, and does this growl thing...not really a growl more like a talk combined with whines. But when I pour warm water on him he quiets down. I made the mistake of pouring luke warm water on him and he did not like that!!! It has to be very warm!! lol Now Zara, she is fine with getting a bath. Both are learning the dremel for their nails. I also figured out some collars for them to wear when we go out...Both hand made out of leather for my CC's. Again, Zara was very accepting of the collar, where as Sonko..had to catch him and then pin him down (slight exaggeration) to "collar" him! All but one were too small!

The photos are not  professional..and the pups have been playing, digging and rolling in the dirt. I don't have a lawn..I have red clay dirt. They are 10 weeks and 5 days old today. Waiting to give them their 2nd puppy shots so they can go to Conformation Classes, Lure Coursing training and Puppy Class. Sonko sighting the kitty. Here kitty kitty kitty come and play!! I play hard! And get my critters! (it's a toy) I do stand still, just before the attack! What a sweet girl!!  She is as sweet as she looks! You can't have the kitteh! They look like siblings! Princess with retired Ch. LaRoz's Little Lion (aka Simba) Cherry Berry - Simba's daughter. ttfn

How sweet!! Trouble?? Not us!  Caught on camera..Umm...I have nothing in my mouth... Mom can't see us under here. Sonko: nom nom nom..leather sandles. Princess: humm..Sniff sniff sniff...BOX = paper = yummy! ttfn

While I'm on the computer and the puppies are not running around they are under and around my computer chair! Now I have 3 on the floor and 3 on the couch and one is where ever she wants to be. Opps woke him up!! Go back to sleep, sleepy head! ttfn

September 2nd, 2012. What a fun day! First work, get off at 3...fuel up and head to my daughters house. Then head out to pick up the most beautiful, sweet, loving Peruvian Inca Orchid puppy dog ever! A conversation with my daughter Lynette..she was expressing getting another dog. Sierra is getting up there in age. But, Sierra is not fond of all dogs OR puppies. She only likes her few (my Simba and Layah). While at Shannon's home, we played with the puppies outside and then inside. My daughter really liked the coated female, "Princess". And who could not like her!! Yes we ended up taking them both home! Loaded the puppies in the back of "Lucy" and headed out. While on the free-way, Lynette said get Princess!! She is by my feet! Lyn was driving! I pulled Princess up and onto my lap..that is where she stayed till we stopped for fuel. After putting her on my lap I used my cell phone for light to check on Sonko. He was sleeping. The back of my phone case came o...

Princess Sonko catching up with the pack. Sonko taking the lead. Followed by Cherry, Cricket and Mei Mei. Sonko with Layah in the back ground..done with the romp. Going to sit and wait for the rest to catch up. ttfn
