Snow day

On Saturday, Jesús decided to go outside and shovel the snow. I wasn't there, but he took these pictures since Major was having so much fun in the snow. Enjoy!

The Dog Whisperer

I was channel surfing and stumbled upon the shot on National Geographic called the Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/dog-whisperer). Wow! This guy is amazing! And you can really learn alot from him by just watching the show. Anyways, if you ever get a chance to watch it, I recommend it. In a tribute to the show...here is a picture of our dog Major! Ha!



These water bowls are for the bigger dogs at the office (Jesús takes him to work) but he stretches himself out so he can get water too :-)

Sorry it's been awhile!

I am up in Milwaukee doing my annual training days for the Air National Guard. It's been so busy up here since we are implementing new training software. So my eyes are so red from staring at the computer screen. And then my brain is like mush from learning the program along with training other users how to use it. But overall, it's been a really good week and we accomplished alot. I am ready to get home though...I miss Jesús and Major :-) And I just want to be home and back in my routine...

Major defends Jesús :-)

Here's a video of Major. He found a toy bowling ball and didn't know what it was...so he started barking at it.



He's doing better and better everyday. He's starting to warn us now if he needs to go outside...so that is a huge bonus! Well, I hope you enjoy the video!

Barking and Stairs

Major has learned a couple new things this past week...climbing stairs and barking. He knows how to get up the stairs...but is scared to come down. Here is a video Jesús took of him barking because he can't come down the stairs...

Major is so smart!


Major seems to be learning more and more every day. He is still biting and trying to figure out this big world via his mouth...but I understand he's a puppy so I'm tolerating it. From everything I've read, it's ok if he "feels you out" with his teeth...but when it gets to the point of hurting you are supposed to yelp really loud (ha ha) and then ignore him for a few minutes. So...we've been trying this and it seems to be working! This week he’s been good and he really knows his schedule. It’s like clockwork. Also, he is finally recognizing his name pretty well.



The boys were with us last weekend. They enjoyed their time with Major, but they were a little apprehensive playing with him since he is biting so much. Luckily, Major had his shots on Friday (Jan 30th) so he wasn't so rambunctious during the weekend.
