Posts: 6068 Fri, Jan 18, 2008 4:51 AM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	Tags : None We named the dog Indy! -Prof. Henry Jones, Sr., "The Last Crusade" Okay, actually, we named her Artoo. I got a dog on Thursday. This is something I've been wanting to bring back into my life for many years. Finally it's come to pass and she's here to stay! I'll try to get some pictures up over the weekend. She's a year old, we got her at Animal Services, and so far, wonderfully behaved. What kinds of pets do the rest of you have? Care to share any pictures? Here's the place.

We took her to the vet yesterday and several of the workers there ended up spending a lot of time on the floor playing with her (btw, we really like the Kirkman Road Veterinary Clinic). As Cesar Millan devotees, Pin and I've been walking her a minimum of two hours a day (!) this first week and Artoo basically acts like she's been with us for years. So far, even during my graveyard shift-induced naps, she's even leaving the nearby Galactic Heroes unchewed. We really could not be happier with her.

She is extremely hyper but Callito is quite and very friendly. Lady always barks at people she does not know and if anyone tries to touch the baby of the house then she gets upset. lol.

Posts: 6068 Mon, Feb 11, 2008 3:59 PM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	A couple of weeks ago I wrote a long response decribing how Artoo got very ill (on Death's doorstep...) soon after we got her. As we've all experienced from time to time, my entire post was eaten and my irritation prevented me from re-writing it all. Fortunately, I'm returning today with nothing but good news. Artoo's thriving and very happily fitting into our family. We walk her plenty, and take her on many adventures. Yesterday she went to the Farmer's Market downtown and met many dogs, few of which were as calm and collected as her. She's 100% mutt but a couple of people mentioned that she looked like a full-bred dog of an unknown breed. Animal Control identifies her as German Shepherd/Sharpei mix. As far as I can discern, she's a Corellian Retriever. Here are some pictures.

Her name is Spunkers (we did not name her and I'm begging Cat to change the name!) and we got her as a companion for our other cat, Lucky. He's been lonely lately and we thought he could use a friend. So far so good, though Spunkers is still getting adjusted to her new surroundings. She did attack Cat once and Lucky came to her rescue, but other than that she's been pretty well behaved. I hope she grows comfortable over the next week or two.

I kept saying, "The dingo ate your baby," to my non-plussed wife when Artoo joined our pack. And way to go, Mike. Pets rule! Post a picture of the Lucky Spunkers pair if you get a chance. Hope they end up being great companions to you two and each other.

She and my sister's cat don't get along very well (both female, not raised together) but they've learned to tolerate each other. I'll find and post some pictures. Campbell, your doggy looks very sweet and smart. She has soulful eyes.

My rough-housing at home is tons of fun but she's not behaving nearly as well at dog parks anymore. I'm not following the ways of Jedi Cesar Millan and I'm paying the price. We took her on vacation to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. We went to a very dog-friendly Residence Inn next to a great park in Buckhead/Lenox. Had a great time and really want to take her on as many vacations with us as possible.

Posts: 6068 Thu, Jul 17, 2008 4:07 AM Consul - Orlando System Baron Admin	My latest canine adventure is when my dog ate a frog the other night. Returning from a walk a frog jumped into the house. It jumped under a desk and Artoo, my pooch, went a-hunting. After a few confusing hops from the frog, followed by her, the frog was munched. Knowing some frogs excrete toxins and can have harmful bacteria in them, I called Poison Control and was told to watch for symptoms like foaming and scratching at her mouth. Fortunately, it looks like Artoo has survived the event. The frog, however, was not so fortunate. Anyone have a suggestion for kenneling my dog for a week? I don't have any neighbors or friends that can devote the time needed to walk and check on her so I'm researching places like my vet and looking for recommendations of where she might be housed in late September while the wife and I take a vacation.

I'd be far more comfortable with that in hopes that she'd get more exercise and be less exposed to a kennel's germs. Check out Entertainment Earth's new dog, or cat, camera! See what they see when you're not around! Ha, I'm pretty curious about this.

Artoo (my dog) and I have been going there about once a week and it's a lot of fun. Also, my wife and I are starting to pet sit, generally in our home. If you're interested and ever have the need, e-mail me at kitfisto@hotmail.com. -Campbell
