el encantador de perros
Oslo ha pasado varios cambios importantes en su vida durante los ultimos meses. Durante todo su vida, ha formado una parte de una manada de tres. Habia rato cuando solo habia dos, pero sabia que el tercero volvera. Llevamos casi cinco meses solo los dos, y el seguia volviendo a casa a veces emocionado y esperando que el tercero estara en casa. Creo que ha dado cuenta hace poco que la manada ha cambiado. Y el queria ser el jefe de la manada.
Esto me dio problemas. El empezo a volverse agresivo en la calle, especialmente con perros grandes. Poco a poco, peor. Yo ya no podia pasear por el canal tranquilamente y dejarlo oler los perros que paseaban. Se volvia loco, ladrando, y intentando morder el perro que paseaba. Lo raro es que seguia siendo tranquilito en casa, ni mu salia de su boca, solo si escuchaba un perro por la calle.
Me he dado cuenta que no podia seguir asi. El siempre era un perro agradable, y tiene mucho tiempo delante de el. Entonces, llame al encantador de perros de Ottawa: Bark Busters
Marco ha venido a casa el sabado pasado, y hemos quedado durante dos horas, el ensenandome como ser la jefa de la manada en casa, y despues en la calle. Aprendi como grunir, de verdad. Me daba un poco de verguenza en la calle al principio, pero es facil superar eso ;) Ese primer dia era mucho trabajo, para mi y para Oslo, pero ya se nota la diferencia. El ya no huele y marca tanto por la calle, no se vuelve tan loco cuando pasamos perros grandes. Y todo via tenemos una sesion el viernes por la manana, cuando vamos a ir al parque de perros con Marco.
Aqui esta el senor, echo polvo de un dia duro de curro, con su encantador, Marco:
Y un ejemplo de como estoy trabajando con el senor en casa, que mono que es!

Que puedes ver de la torre mas alto de Toronto?
Oslivirich!
Era un fin de semana de muchas "primeras". Era la primera vez que Oslo ha ido a Toronto, ahora, ha visitado 3 de las ciudades mas importantes de Canada. Ha quedado en una casa que tiene un gato, y todovia tiene los dos ojos. Tambien la primera vez en 2010 que Oslo ha ido a la playa. Y la primita Lisa ha anadido una palabra nueva a su lexico: "Puppy!"
La Nan ha venido con nosotros, y los tres hemos pasado fenomenal con la familia. El tiempo fresquito pero buenissimo por esta epoca. Aqui hay unas fotos de las aventuras nuevas del Bidib:
"Sigue pidiendome treats pero no tengo nada mas!"
"No se que hacer! Es un animal! Pero hace sonidos raros cuando me lo acerco. Y huele raro!"
Este es un perro que sabe de las playas!

What gets you up in the morning?
Some people have dogs who get them up on a schedule every morning. I hear stories about dogs who let out their cute little whine, or get on the bed to wake you up at 6am to be taken out.
Oslo is not one of those dogs.
Oslo will be the last one out of bed. He's a bed rotater during the night, at any given moment you can find him on the sofa, on a chair in the living room, on his "sofa bed" in my room, on his actual bed, or by my feet. It doesn't matter if you get up at 6am or 9am, you can get up and make your coffee, and then find him sprawled out in one of these locations. He may be awake, and when he sees you coming he'll roll onto his back a little for you to rub his belly. Nothing like a good belly rub in the morning.
There are certain sounds that come from the kitchen that will get him out of bed. The peanut butter jar is one of them. This morning I was adding a spoonful of peanut butter to my smoothie. As I was scooping, my thoughts were something like this:
"That's strange, Oslo hasn't gotten up. Oh well, maybe I was extra quiet this morning, it is a plastic jar after all, it's not like it's a loud sound, he's probably in a deep sleep. Hmm, maybe I'll put a small scoop in his bowl so he'll have a nice surprise to wake up to."
As I turned around, I nearly jumped out of my skin then laughed at myself. Oslo, bedhead at it's best with fur swept to one side, sleepy look in his eyes, had silently made his way to the entrance of the kitchen. I wish there was such a soft, enticing sound that got me out of bed so quickly in the morning
Here are some photos from a few weeks ago, when a similar jar of peanut butter came to an end one morning, this morning's jar is still going strong.
