8 Months of Age

8 months   /   35 weeks   /   245 days
SNOW makes me SMILE !


8 weeks marked a very busy day

Rock-diving attempts thwarted, again

After some morning mischief in the garden, off we all went for our check-up and vaccinations. Never one to sit still in a waiting room...

tumbling into the exam room while wrestling with Elsie
practicing a new skill
attempting to stand still for my exam

Happy "8 Months" to all my sibs!

It's my bed, and I'll tear if I want to ...

It all started with a thread...


and in less than a minute ...


Very expensive dog bed - good thing it was purchased at a deeply discounted price!


Will this mean the return of the dreaded puppy bed?

 

Dun dun dun dunnnnn ...

New Trick

Wacky weather (way below freezing/double digits turning the ground to muck/heavy rain/heavy winds) provides the perfect excuse for staying indoors and learning a new trick.

Glitches Galore!

Well, the "camera hound" is not called the "computer hound" for a reason!!  Technological Dinosaur (H. sapiens webosaurus)! If you've been noticing photos disappearing (and, perhaps, reappearing) from the posts don't blame the Vizsla. Apparently, there was some confusion as to the appropriate file size for a photo - different searches reveal different answers. Anyway, the long and short of it is that the "free" storage on Picasa was full. Yup, needed a lesson in file management with regard to Picasa albums. After much hair-pulling, teeth gnashing and #%&>*$^!, all the relevant albums were located on Picasa. Turns out, file size wasn't the only issue: there existed multiple copies of the same photos (how? why? don't ask!). 

Now that one human and one delete button are worn out, the Vizsla can get back to the work at hand. So, here is an appropriately-sized, single copy of a warm and fuzzy photo of Yours Truly flashing a Hi-5 at 12 days of age.

 Happy Computing, Everyone!

Proprioception 360

Here I am sitting on (well, mostly on) the wobbly disc.


To learn "hind-end awareness," I turn 360 degrees in both directions on the balance disc. It was -5 and the reason the balance disc is blurry is that I breathed on the camera and my breath created an icy film on the lense (as opposed to a smudge). The camera hound's fingers were sooo cold that she had trouble dispensing treats properly and her "clickering" was a bit off (not sure if she was clicking my foot movements or her own!).
