A Doggy Summer Video

Someone sent this to me via email. I enjoyed the video because I love watching well trained dogs in play or work. But more than that, it stood out to me , that not only were these dogs well trained, they seemed very happy in doing what they were doing.

That is good training. Train your dog in a way that makes him/her "want" to do the trick you are teaching. Dogs naturally want to please their owners. Work with that. With a tiny little treat, a reasonable amount of respect, a little bit of time, and a lot of praise, you can train your dog to do many things.

There are many good videos out there if you need help. Find the training techniques that most fit you and your breed of dog. A well trained dog, is a well loved dog. 

Enjoy the video!

Britain's Got Talent - Final - Kate and Gin (the dancing dog)

 

Being a woman, of course, I love Girl Power!  You guys will enjoy this little dog and HER Girl owner Kate and their dance routine. There are several of her videos on YouTube  from Britain's Got Talent, the British version of America's Got Talent, if you want to see more.

This little dog is a better dancer than most of the guys I've dated!   LOL

Here's to you Gin and Kate! You're a very special pair of entertainers.

Patrick F. McManus/Rancid Crabtree Hat

Are you  a fan of Patrick McManus, outdoor humorist? Around here, we're big fans. My  dad loves Pat, my husband loves Pat, my son loves Pat. And yep, he tickles my funny bone too.  When it comes to outdoor humor and the calamities that Pat writes about, there is no one more entertaining. 

For you fans, you already know who Rancid Crabtree is.  Now you can own your very own Rancid Crabtee Fly-Fishing & Filosofical Society hat!  Available only on the official Patrick F. McManus website: 
 http://www.patrickfmcmanus.com/index.html

If you haven't read Patrick McManus yet, order one of his books. I promise you will not be disappointed!  A couple of my personal favorites are:
The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw and Never Sniff a Gift Fish. Those are both older publications, but you can still buy them on Pat's website. They are timeless. But I must warn you, you may laugh so hard that your ribs will hurt you for days and days and days! And then you'll want more!!

Pat also has had success with his latest Bo Tully Mysteries. There are several of these and all available on Pat's website:  http://www.patrickfmcmanus.com/Books.html

Don't forget Father's Day in June!
