Training dogs and training husbands uses the same principle - it's never the animal's fault. Here's how Amy Sutherland trained her husband (and they're both happier). I can't get over the feeling that the husband still hasn't noticed that anything has changed.

Pawsted by UnknownMeet Toby and Dick: GingaBoo's ethiopian relatives
Dick is the big one and the father of Toby, the one who playfully bites him. I guess she is asking her daddy for a new car or something. The legend ( mostly my mother in Addis- Ababa ) states that Toby is mother is a fox (?) and by that she means a real fox , not a very sexy female dog. Toby kind of look like a fox though. The sad story is that some people roaming around the house threw stones at her and she lost her right eye :(. Dick is thrilled to have someone to pass on his football skills to. He conveniently did not consider that she is a girl and probably could care less about football, unless there is an equivalent to Beckham in doggy-football.

Pawsted by MosilagerGinga learns to frisbee, BooBoo recovery
We went to the football field with Ginga and BooBoo to test their world cup skills. They were excited on the way there and kept trying to smell the air from the car... or maybe they were just thinking that they were running very fast without any effort.

Ginga has been a little bored because BooBoo has a knee problem and spends a lot of time sleeping. So we tried to teach him how to fetch. He does it for a price... yes, you guessed it, peanuts.

BooBoo looks at me, "what, no more treats?"

We thought BooBoo was better after his week of rest from the dislocated knee but it hasn't healed yet, he didn't run around as much as usual and was putting more weight on his right foot than his left so he has to go to the doctor soon. He still seems to be OK while chasing bullfrogs in a stream close by, but we'll have it looked at.
