toys
I have been informed that I have not posted pictures nor updated on the puppy status. Get close, real close because I am going to say this very quietly so I don't jinx it...... we got a really good dog. And my husband? He's the damn dog whisperer himself. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a big day, but in my old age I can't remember why.....
She's great! A very sweet tempered pup who of course chew on everything except her dog toys and is helping me clean my carpets inch by inch by inch. But thanks to the suggestion of one of one of my athletes & friends Jen.... she rings a little bell attached to the doorknob when she's gotta go out. Most of the time!!!
She listens to everything Curt says or more fascinatingly..... does. He will give the dog baseball arm signals and she'll be at his feet in an instant. I have been told that he's the pack leader. Good, you can be the king if you want to be, as long as she listens.
We do have a suspicion that if this dog could communicate with her siblings she would say "This family makes me work out all the time!" People warned us that this dog would need a lot of exercise. Turns out ..... the joke was really on Cocoa. The Eggers need a lot of exercise. I love hiking with her. Sometimes she will sit at the door in protest..... not another walk! Oh yes dear pup..... another walk.
Oh, and i have given her a middle name. Puff. Cocoa Puff.
For my birthday I got a very nifty little video camera that films underwater. For under $200 this little thing arrived on Thursday:
It does not appear to be water proof, but it sure as hell is. And yes, that's water proof, not water resistant.
Here is my first venture with it.... Masters on Friday. The picture will be better when I fiddle with the resolution and learn some basic video camera skills, but the shots are pretty good. No one was electrocuted either!
My goals in this first venture were to record, upload and post here. Take a look! It's not pretty, reminds me a bit of the Blair Witch Project in terms of camera handling....... I didn't hit the upload to Blogger goal yet but I have it on You Tube.
Click here to watch it and remember I have to select the right settings, it's not a clear picture just yet. I have to read the directions :-)

awesome camera....i wish we had one of those somewhere around here. that is exciting about your puppy. i am glad it is going so well. now you can start posting pics and your doggie can join in with Belle, Latte, Rooney, and Cayenne stories!
that is a really cool video camera. and once you figure out all it can do, watch out! there is nothing more helpful than seeing yourself swimming and having someone talk you thru it (well for me anyway).
we are still at the place where we are "borrowing" the neighbors dog(marley) for periods of time.......that works for us for now.
What a great camera--I'd love to have that at the beach! Someone told me about the bell on the door trick and I'm sorry I never used it. Sounds like you have a great dog!
what a great camera.
I wish I had one too...
Congrats on the dog training, I wish we had done that as well. My neighbor swears it works, their puppy is just under a year old and rings that bell every time!
