Jack
(Rated PG)

I have decided to become an underwear model! The tall guy got me a new thing to wear.
He said it keeps me from pulling my string when we are out walking.
It is called an Easy Walk.
(I know that because it's got the name on the side.)

I told him that if he would hurry when we walked,
I wouldn't need to pull on the string.
He said it didn't work that way.

So now, if you're ready,
here I am in all my glory:

He likes it better than a regular harness.
He said I looked like I was a fashion plate!
I told him I looked so good,
I was more like a fashion platter!

He said if I kept talking like that,
he would go back and get the pink Easy Walk.
I told him to go ahead,
cause I would make even the pink one look good.

I asked him when I would be able to go on walks without the string.
He said when it got below 32 temperatures in Michigan.
So, if any of you live in Michigan,
please let me know how many temperatures it is there.
Thank you!

(Note from the tall guy:
The Easy Walk is great. It really keeps Jack from pulling when we are out walking. It doesn't stop jumping, however. I like it because it doesn't go around his throat so if he does take off running (i.e., after anything blowing around on the ground, walks when it's windy are SO MUCH FUN), he doesn't get yanked back when he reaches the end of his leash.

And, since I'm talking about things that actually work for Jack, I've found a chew toy that Jack hasn't chewed through yet. It's called a Hurley and it's done pretty well so far. It's not hard like a Nylabone, so you don't get all the sharp plastic sticking out where he's chewed through it, but it's not soft plastic, that he can tear into pieces in seconds. It's not his favorite chew toy (simply because he can't tear it into pieces), but it's lasted over a week and around here, that's rare!

And now for your listening enjoyment:



Don't you just love the Internet? :)
