Tommy's Diary

Taking a paw in the right direction

Owner: My dog has never really played with anything but a tennis ball a few throws and he never brings the ball to me he always takes it to his pen. I got the flying duck out of the flying series from Hyper-pet and tried it out he ignored it for a while so I put it in his pen and put him in with it for a little while. I walked up to the pen and for once I saw him play with it all by himself. I was shocked since he likes to hide his playing with anything but his play mate who saddly passed away a few weeks ago. He wont chase after it though. And he wont play with it when our other two dogs are around either. I havent seen him play with it since then but every night I set it beside him and tell him to play with his duckey and in the morning its always in a different spot so im glad hes found something to keep him busy during the time period he is alone. My mom told me when we are all outside he needs to be out as well with us so he doesnt feel isolated to his pen. He comes into the house once a day just to see that his play mate is not in the house. Not once has he urinated on anything and there has been times that ive put him on a leash and took him out side to see if he needed to go and he went straight to the bushes by the door and peed so he has been a good boy. My parents are still saying no to the fact that he cant come in at night during the winter so my dad keeps saying that he is going to revamp the dog house and make the entrance smaller and put a heater in as well but just let me say he said the same thing last winter and he didnt do it so i guess we will have to wait oh and I found out why he was tearing up his bed and barking inside the dog house there were bees in his bed so we spayed the matress and got it out

Mommy thinks shes found out what kind of mutt i am

Ive tried and tried to see what other breeds of dogs Tommy has in him and i was thinking he could be several breeds but i saw Australian shepherd, Canaan dog, and border collie and was thinking that those 3 breeds could be tommy although i do think that maybe there are more breeds that could of joined together and yea Tommy's breed status is still a mystery to me but at least im getting closer to what it is

Tommy's play day out in the yard

Today i thought it would be a good idea to let the dogs run around in the yard and play with the snow. Ofcourse Tommy loved it so i wish i had the camera when he was hopping in the snow like a deer it was funny then he started digging in the snow and got snow all over his face it was cute he then got a hold of the cats food we left out there and it froze he grabbed the frozen mashed potatoes and the plate was stuck he continued to hold on to it and bring it into the pen when it was time to put them back in their pen it was so hilarious he is still kind of favoring his leg and shasta had the same problem but i was slowly moving her leg to see if there was any wierd grinding feeling and there wasnt so i fugured they just have sprained wrist or whatever they are called i am still going to monitar to see if it gets worse so no worries about that
