Heat

Not the kind you might be thinking, but the kind Yoda has been waiting for for about 6 months. Yoda's gal pal is in heat! This means next week he has a special date...and then time will tell if he is a daddy. We are very happy for him, and excited to see if we get to play with a litter of puppies without dealing with them all the time! In other Yoda news we bought a shock collar system to try out with Yoda to avoid putting in on a leash and putting a fence in at the new house. It wasn't cheap, but it is cheaper than a fence and more reasonable than tying him up or running after him all the time (as if we could really catch him). We have 30 days to trial it, and we can return it in that time if it doesn't work. John and I are very excited to see his reaction when he gets the first jolt when running away. Hahahahaha (that was an evil laugh). I am not an animal abuser though, he is just a pain sometimes and it is time for payback. For those of you worried about the system we are using it does give auditory and visual warnings to keep the dog within the boundaries. Most dogs only experience the harmless jolts a couple of time and then they are trained! Will Yoda be one of them?
