Happy St Paddy's Day and Kennel up!

Here is Moose sporting some green in honor of the day! I had to take about 100 pics before I got this one and it is as good as it gets! Teddy declined to participate and opted to try to eat them which concluded the festivities!

I have been working some with Teddy to get him used to being in the crate and to go in there when I say 'Kennel-up'! And man alive he is a quick learner! Now when his crate is open I can not even say Kennel-up fast enough and he is in there sitting and waiting for his treat! It is like a giant treat machine to him!










Today Moose decided he wanted a piece of the 'kennel-up' action so he went in there and of course since the door was open Teddy went right in and sat down! It is very hard to train teddy without confusing Moose.

And here is another impressive thing... When I adopted Moose I trained him to ring a bell that I hang on the doorknob when he wants to go out (see video below), he picked it up pretty fast. I have not bothered to try to train this in Teddy yet because I figured he would not be here long and not everyone would find this useful (though they should, it is awesome). And today Teddy rang the bell to go out on 2 separate occasions! The first time I opened the door to let him out and he went out and looked at me like 'now what', I honestly think he was surprised that it worked! He is really a smart boy! On the other hand he chewed through my brand new 100ft heavy duty electrical cord today... that is not so smart!
