I was browsing through the bookstore the other day when I came across the perfect book for Leroy.
Leroy has been having a few issues recently with male hormones. The main issue is him thinking that I am his girlfriend. So not only do I have to deal with him walking far to close behind me, but now I have to watch out for the look and then the jump. It’s always nice when I bend down to pick something up off the floor and then have a 150 pound dog jump on my back.
So when I saw this book I had to get it for him.
In the meantime I have realized that the “No Jump”, or “Off” command does not work very well with him, so I have resorted to giving him a little ball tap when he does this. Yes, you read right I am doing a little tap.
The first time I did it the look I got was like OMG did you really just do that? What the…?
But I can say it made him jump, which of course made me laugh, which defeated the whole purpose. But I will keep trying. Until then this is what I keep telling him:
Leroy will be sending the above book to our friend Fred when he is finished. Even though Fred does not have his testicles anymore his Mom will enjoy reminding him why he does not.

That book looks so scary! I hope Leroy can get his priorities straight or he'll be the nardless newfie! Perhaps he needs a decoy to practice his affections with.Slobbers,mango

I was amazed Whitman would use that word in a title. They have always seemed so safe and family oriented. (Good for them.)Now, what sections of the book store are you browsing????

I found this on another blog but I thought it was "interesting" The dog's name is Fig - During Fig's pre-op appointment, my vet asked me if I wanted to have "neuticals" implanted in Fig. WTF? Neuticals? Yup, there are silicone prosthetic testicles that can inserted after the real ones are removed. Dear lord! Really? Why? Because, "they help your dog retain his self-esteem."I must have looked absolutely incredulous, but my vet told me that he's implanted hundreds of neuticals over the past few years. I think there are some dog owners with self-esteem issues, and way too much money. The cost of ensuring your dog retains his dignity, and self-worth is a mere $950.00. For better or worse, Fig will come home tomorrow sans testicles, and neuticals.
