I've been tagged!

RULES OF THE GAME:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged, need to post in their diary the rules and their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose some dogs to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to bark them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged! And sent them these Rules.

So here are my 7 pawsome facts, in no particular order:

1- I love my new front-connection SENSE-ation harness. Mon can tell I am comfortable in it. Now, she can burn my Control Ease head collar!!

2- I got many Christmas gifts already. Mom says she isn't a materialistic person, but she bought me a leather leash and collar, the harness mentioned above with matching leash (hey, it was so light and soft, she had to buy it), a comfy "designer" nylon collar (from a small Quebec company called La Dosha. All made in Montreal! She just had to support her follow Quebecers!).

3- Now that I am back on Orijen 6 Fesh Fish, my coat is back to super silky and shiny. I love the stuff. I'm glad mom came to her senses and noticed that it's what suits me best! Though I also look foward to trying EVO red meat!

4- The vet says I'm an athlete. She says my heartbeat is so slow, and that this is a good thing. She also says I'm a very muscular dog. Mom insists I'm still feminine though! Oh and I have great teeth too. I just need someone to remind mom to keep brushing them.

5- I seem a lot more tired ever since mom started training me with the clicker. Mom's teacher must be so right when she says that intellectual activity is the most important and tiring of all. actually, scientific studies show that intellectual activity is the most efficient at reducing behavioral problems in dogs!

6- I'm glad that mom now is learning to read doggy body language known as calming signals. That way, she knows when to go into the dog park, and when to leave. We no longer go in if we see dogs that don't respond to calming signals sent by other dogs and just keep acting inappropriatelly regardless. We also leave right away if such a dog comes in. Same thing if I act inappropriatelly. Mom is learning so much about calming signals at class and in the book "The Power of Positive Dog Training" by Pat Miller. She's also just bought "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals" by Turid Rugaas and "Canine Body Language" by Brenda Aloff. Lots of good reading to come!

7- The most pawsome of all facts for me and mom is simply how wonderful our relationship is, and how it is improving everyday.
