Travelog post for: Tuffy

The last fews days have been pretty uneventful. Ishah has been working a lot and writing on her final paper for her history class. Honestly I think she'd get a lot more done if she'd stop watching CSI marathons.
Anyways, Ishah sat Bear and I down together the other day. We didn't know what to expect! We were both a bundle of nerves. Did she have a surprise for us? Some food? A food surprise?




No! It was something better! She announced that Bear was going to start teaching me to be a guard dog! I was excited! Bear was a little concerned...




I couldn't wait to get started! I was hoping that's first we'd chase some of the loud neighbor kids, or bark for hours on end at random noises from outside, or growl menacingly whenever we were approached unawares... But Bear said that being a guard dog isn't all about tearing deserving people to shreds. It's about making your family safe and knowing when to be scary and when to turn on the puppy-eyes and act like you are starving to death. Already I am learning so much!
We ended up starting out with some basic jaw-strength exercises. I thought it went rather well.



I got worn out pretty fast. Bear is really strong! He weighs almost as much as Ishah. Which, you know, isn't THAT much because she's nearly perfect. I am off to rest now. Maybe I will go try my new techniques on the other TV's...
