For the record it's actually Strummer in the photo (not that I expect people to keep track of my dogs, especially when I'm so bad at captioning photos). Cody's so funny, if you throw a tug toy at him he stares at it until it smacks him in the face or goes over his head. I have some photos of that too, I'll have to dig them out when I'm on my home computer.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-67767650937855145762009-03-19T08:34:00.000-06:002009-03-19T08:34:00.000-06:00By the way, that pictures of Cody receiving the br...By the way, that pictures of Cody receiving the braided tug is one of the best dog photos ever.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545617827996043666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-79771498676982581642009-03-18T17:05:00.000-06:002009-03-18T17:05:00.000-06:00Well, they were finger sized, at least in length, ...Well, they were finger sized, at least in length, but I was expecting something half the length of a finger and half the width of what I got which was maybe twice the width of a finger. Susan had described them as minnow sized so I was expecting a whole, tiny fish. Good to know about the bones though, I was unsure if they were edible or not and figured better safe than sorry. Next time I'll leave 'em in.

Stupid receptionist neglected to tell me he would need blood tests first and would need to fast/no water so she set up a surgery appointment even though it was an impossibility. Poor guy has to deal with eye ointment 2x a day for the next week then hopefully surgery on Monday if the blood tests come out o.k.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-84511556868426281342009-03-17T11:42:00.000-06:002009-03-17T11:42:00.000-06:00Sardines, yuck!

Will have to give it a try but it sounds messier than sardines as far as carrying it out with me on a course though could be good for after run treats back at the crate at a trial.<BR/><BR/>I used frozen baby food in little jars as a reward for recalls and that worked great with Cody, might have to try that with Strummer, I'd forgotten all about it.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-45174253948932999892009-03-16T11:30:00.000-06:002009-03-16T11:30:00.000-06:00I've been using sardines as a jackpot for several ...I've been using sardines as a jackpot for several years now...as I read Susan's tip I thought, oh great, the price of sardines is going to skyrocket now that every one in the agility world is buying them... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-54336970405160681012009-03-16T06:47:00.000-06:002009-03-16T06:47:00.000-06:00canned cat food. really. pretty much the same thin...canned cat food. really. pretty much the same thing if you buy a good quality- but not as gunky.
