Puppy Overload

Hung out with Ben the other day. From that beer festival, Graham and Rich owed Ben money so I decided to deliver that to him while I was in the area.

Of course Ben had to run errands that day so I tagged along to do some dog sitting. Gidget, Maggie, and Tori, I haven't see them for awhile.

Maggie loves this stuffed turtle. At least they're not playing with that floor mat anymore.

I really think pugs are one of the ugliest dogs and I would never in a million years consider owning one. But I can see their appeal as their so ridiculously friendly. At least the pugs I've come across have always been social and nice.
Gidget has put on the pounds since I've seen her last. She must have some fat built up for the winter. Totally understandable.
Tori (yellow lab), tends to do her own little thing. Once she is outside she just wonders off and magically appears back in the house when she seems to be done exploring the great outdoors.
I saw this cool icicle, decided to take a picture of it before breaking it off and throwing it like a spear.

Grease Kitty

The place I had my car fixed had a stray kitty pet. I felt bad for it as they don't let it inside the office but they do however give it cat food and a bowl of water. Of course the bowl of water isn't much good these days as its frozen.

But the cat is very friendly. As I knelt down to get a picture of it, she(?) charged me so she could get petted.

I wonder where this cat goes when it snows...

As I was petting the cat, I could definitely tell it was an "outside" cat. The fur was really nasty and there were all kinds of burs or something in her coat. Hopefully I didn't get lyme disease...

Mexico

After picking my car from the auto repair shop, I met up with Manthan and his little puppy Cabo. I turns out that Cabo is not a "designer" puppy. He's just a mutt! The pet store called and said that the paper work was messed up and Cabo has a little Beagle in him as well! I don't see it but that would explain why he doesn't look like any other peekapoos.

He is however pretty smart. He's getting better with the whole "doing business" outside rather than inside. He just has to be taken out often.

Got a shot of him prancing towards me.

He tends to get a little hyper and starts growling and biting everything like a maniac. Manthan was a little concerned about that so Michele and him hired a dog trainer to come over that was recommended by a friend. Apparently they worked magic. Taught Cabo five commands in an hour's time!
Good thing too because Michele was making crazy talk about giving him away or something within six months if he didn't start behaving better.

So hopefully Cabo will stick around and I'll be able to come over and not worry about my shoe laces getting eaten.
