I won't be walking for a while but I wanted to tell you about someone who Hoshi is very afraid of. The Big Boy! There's a restaurant near my house called Big Boy. Every time we walk by Hoshi goes bonkers and warns me about the dangerous big boy by barking his head off. Even after we pass by Hoshi keeps looking back to make sure he's not following us.

I had him in my shop again today to rest up his rear left leg which seems to be getting a little better. Now it only bothers him after he's been laying around and then he gets up to move.
Anyways, today after I was done working and waiting on a customer to pick up their dogs, I decided to see how long it'd take me to train Jr a little. Amazingly he caught onto sit like it was nothing, then we tried down. In less than five miinutes he had these two down. We started working on the stand up ...

Hoshi wanted to chase it so badly. He kept crying the whole time.

I gave Hoshi a bath yesterday. He had been scratching (fleas I suspect) so I wanted to bath him before his Frontline treatment. I shaved him down again except for his ears. It's been so hot lately so I figured he wouldn't mind. I found a flea on him. I think we have rampant fleas in my area because we have so many rodents (squirrels, bunnies, ect.). Hoshi is just like Gabby and doesn't like his front paws done. He growled every time I came near him with the scissors. He even begged--tried ...
