Well, we are definitely in FULL BUTTHEAD mode right now, like... can I send him away and get him back when he is finished.. kinda mode... he is definitely testing the waters and I think my daily vocab consists of "Stark aus", "Stark nein!", "Stark enough", "Stark, you know this.. come on, please sitz for me, come on, you KNOW THIS!", and "Oh Stark, what did you do this time?".
I am trying to keep him busy because he has SO MUCH ENGERY lately that I am thinking someone swapped my dog for this creature laying beside me (finally). You can tell his hormones are working on overtime. Anyways, to get his crazies under control this morning, I took him to a new place to play with his new found love - the soccer ball. He definitely deflated it so I will be going shopping tonight for a new one because he just loves it so much. Enjoy! "YAY.. the soccer ball is out!" ![]() "Wait a minute. This feels different to me.. " ![]() "Iz don'tz know whyz dis ball is deflatedz?" ![]() "What's that thing?" (a bus went by) ![]() "My soccer ball is much more interesting than that noisy thing." ![]() "Mom, can you kick this again please?" ![]() "That sucked! Why am I on this leash? I can't RUN after it very far!" ![]() "This is no fun at all. I'm going to pout over here near the trees!" ![]() "Don't follow me! I know I am cute when I pout, but I'm upset!" ![]() "Hmm... Hey Mom! I think I found a track!" ![]() "Yup, a squirrel was here approximently 10 minutes ago." ![]() "What do you mean I am the devil in a cute puppy suit?" ![]() "There's that squirrel!!!" ![]() "Just you wait squirrel..." ![]() "Mom, it's over there, don't you realize we MUST follow it!!!" ![]() "Oh, wait.. another dog! Maybe they will help in the squirrel hunt?" ![]() "HEY YOU OVER THERE? Do you want to get in on a squirrel hunt?!?!" ![]() "Looks like it's just you and me Mom, LET'S GO!" ![]() "He's definitely around here somewhere..." ![]() "Yup, somewhere...." ![]() "Those squirrels are known to confuse even the best trackers in the world, you know Mom.." ![]() "Well, I guess he will live for another day... until tomorrow evil squirrel!" ![]() "I'm ready to go home now Mom, I'm tired." ![]() "Thanks for looking everyone, keep watching for my squirrel hunt adventures!"

Nice photos.
Stark is just sooooo handsome!!! We had our own squirrel hunt this morning. Stark would have loved it. Eight squirrels outside when I took my boys out. We have a lot of black walnut trees on our property and the squirrels are all out stocking up for the winter!

He's a gorgeous little boy. I have this theory about the more handsome a dog is, the more of a teenage mutant ninja butthead he is.
Keep on him at the risk of repeating yourself every 30 seconds. I'm just back from Otto's working walk (you'll come to know sit every 100 feet becuase he's pulling again). I got two complements on his skills today woohoo . The second one was a guy walking into the deli who told me 'That's a well schooled dog you have there' I told him Otto is 16 months and we were working on it. I was thinking What's wrong with your dog bud if you think THIS ONE is well schooled

Thanks everyone!
Yes, he's a cutie which is why I am sure he gets away with a lot of things he shouldn't. We are working very hard on his obedience and he is doing well but has his days. It's been rainy, cold and extremely windy here and I have had the flu for the past 3 days so that hasn't helped with his focus during outdoor training/walks either.. haha. He is such a smart little guy though and I am excited to see what we can do together in the future. |
