The Schnauzer waltz...

It may not be up for an Oscar, but you can click to view Dusty and Kaya - the Movie
This requires Quicktime to view - you must download it first, it's a large file - 3.6 mb. To download, right click and choose 'save target as' from the context menu. Open Quicktime and choose the file 117-1712_MVI.AVI from the saved location and Quicktime will convert it.

Today, I have an actual link for you (yeah, sometimes this really *is* a 'blog').
When I read this on one of my email lists, I thought it was an April Fools joke, but no, it's really true. There's a company out there that offers testicular implants for neutered dogs:
- "Neuticles allowing your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering.
With Neuticles- It's like nothing ever changed!"
But it gets even better! Soon, you'll be able to have a your dog's neuticles implanted with an identifying Microchip. You know, so the dog catcher can scan your dog's balls to help him get home.
Hippies and Yuppies can choose the holistic testicular implant alternative: NeuticlesNatural (in two firmless levels!).
And for the rest of us, there's always Neuticles Logo merch (NeuticleWare!) at the Neuticle Merchandise Mart. Here, you can find your Neuticles T-shirt (Imprinted with the slogan "Neuticles: It's like nothing ever changed!"), as well as ball caps, coffee mugs and pens (printed with a rainbow of colours!).
But my absolute fav are the keychains. For a mere $24, you can have a keychain with AN ACTUAL NEUTICLE!!! (attached to a sturdy keyring for years of use!).
And for that special person in your life, there is the Neuticles necklace (with single or double Neuticles on a stylish chain). Please specify size.
So, why am I writing about this? Because I have nothing else interesting to talk about. We're in the middle of an ice storm. Blah.
Dusty and I didn't do anything spectacular today. Since it's raining ice outdoors, every surface is slippery. The sound the ice makes is eerie - like T.V. static. Needless to say, all of our training sessions were indoors. We worked on 'sits' and 'downs.' I think she wasn't clear on the verbal command because she was offering a 'down' regardless of which command was given. She's getting a lot better now.
But none of that is even remotely as interesting as synthetic dog balls, so I think I'll call it a night.
