Puppy love

For the general amusement, here's a pic of a puppy that some friends brought by our camp at the McHenry Scottish Games in early June. The other members of my group firmly insisted that I could NOT take him home. What a cutie...

I've been watching the Dog Whisperer lately. It's fairly formulaic, but I've been picking up a few training tips -- for instance, instead of comforting Molly when she acts fearful, I should tell her to snap out of it and give her some other behavior to do. It's been working, more or less -- she no longer wakes us up when a thunderstorm comes through. Definite progress, especially considering that we've had nonstop rain since Sunday.
