I dig it. I think pups in sweaters are adorable. This is my pit mix Diego. He hasn't mauled anyone yet, but I'm told that pits are horrible animals

My asshole Rot REFUSES to fetch unless I throw it in the water. Problem is that he still needs to burn energy.

Solution? Treadmill trained his ass. I put him on there once a day or so at about 5 mph for 1-2 miles until that tongue gets lolling and he starts to tick his feet off the back of the platform. I wish it were a little longer so he could get a full 'leap' in at higher speeds instead of the fast trot that he has to do to fit on it, but it is what it is.

Sometimes he just pops right up on it and is ready to go. Other days he looks at it the same way I look at it - "nah, that sounds like a terrible idea..." but eventually he gives in.

The nice thing about the treadmill is that he has to maintain focus to keep from getting shot off the back so it lets him power through some of the 'working dog' instincts as well. It's a job for him and it will engage him.

What a face.

I've had the same problem with Dodger for years. He's almost 8 now and is finally starting to settle down. He loves frisbee, and can track and catch with the best of them.

I have some sad news. My best cat friend Meesh Meesh passed away this afternoon. We had him 19 years and he was about a year old when we got him. So he had a very good cat life. It was very hard to see him fade away this week. I stayed up with him all night last night, and he hung in there until he passed away late this afternoon. My wife came home from work and got to spend a couple hours with him. She has to go somewhere tonight, so I sat with him and he passed about a half hour after she left.

He slept next to me every night and was waiting on the arm of the couch for me when I came home every night. He was adorable and shy and had a great personality, particular about his fur and his big fuzzy tail. He had sneezing fits because he was allergic to stuff, and he never meowed but purred loudly when petted. He really loved canned tuna and McDonalds cheeseburgers. Every morning he's get in my lap when I was putting my socks on getting ready to work, and we'd have a couple minutes for hugs and ear scritches. That was our morning routine.

I have a giant hole in my heart. I will miss him desperately.
