Dog Models

A while back my nephew Ethan asked to talked to me while my sister and I were talking on the phone. In his cutest five year old voice he asked me if I would make him a super hero cape. I am a sucker for Ethan and agreed to make one for him and Aidan. I had bought the fabric and finally got around to finishing the capes today just in time to get back to the grind stone of school.
Since I didn't have any two or five year old children at my disposal, I had to be a little bit more creative. I used Beck and Cassius to model the finished products so I could send a picture to my sister showing her what the capes look like. I will get to personally deliver them in a couple of weeks when I travel to Seattle to hang out with of Ethan and Aidan.

I had the day off from work today, and I was pretty bored. I didn't feel much like studying this evening, since I had spent most of the morning with my nose in a pathophysiology book. I decided to work on a little bit of dog training. I worked with Cassius on his recalls and worked on "head up" heeling with Beck. The photo below doesn't depict any particular obedience task, I guess it just shows how I can make them wait for something they want. They both did well resisting the temptation of the hot dog chunks, well Beck didn't hold out the entire time, so she got a double down of hot dogs. Cassius passed the test with flying colors and resisted eating the hot dog nibblets even when I left the room to retrieve the camera to document this event.
