Dog Days of Summer

Sometimes sayings are just sayings, and sometimes they are only too true! Yes, I finally broke down and got a dog! Not a realm to be entered lightly for the commitment-phobic, I might add. The timing for summer break seemed like the best time to attempt things like crate-training, house-training, leash-training, obedience-training – sounds like a lot of training doesn’t it? My now 12+ pound German Shorthaired Pointer puppy, Emma, is quickly putting me through the paces of pseudo-motherhood. Amber, I have no idea how you and the other moms I know do it! So, if you want to know what I’ll be up to this summer, just check out any number of dog training manuals, and you’ll get the gist of what’s up here!

Isn’t she cute?
