  1. Well, in case you didn't notice me being absent, [:(] I've been gone for 3 weeks doing military stuff. Obviously, I'm not allowed to talk about it in detail, but here's some pix................ The first one was our home while we were there. And yes, those are beds behind the tables..........

  2. No, as far as the insurance is concerned, she's only bulldog and boxer. As far as the guard dog training goes, right now we're working on me being able to answer the door, with the door wide open, and whether she knows you or not, she sits right by my side until I give her a command. Basically either leave it or go. I'm sure you can figure out what go means. It's sort of a messed up setup, but I hate that we have to do this. For at least her first month home, especially considering she was strictly an "outside" dog, we have to make her sleep in the kitchen, which is where the two main points of entry to our home are. i say it's messed up because Tristan sleeps in our room with us. It's supposed to teach her two things. One being that it teaches her she in no way dominates the house, and the other being that she'll know that's her area, and who is and who isn't supposed to come through those doors. And with my crazy schedule, there' sno telling what time I may come through those doors, so there are no set times, if you know what I mean.

    She's doing really well with all this training I've been throwing at her. I gave her today off; as grandpa recommended. Hiim and grandma will be down next weekend, and we made a deal. If I take him fishing, he'll give me about 400 bucks of guard dog training for free! It's only 2 days worth, but I guess that's the going rate. I'll try my best to keep you all posted on her; but training her is my main priority around our house right now; so forum time is hard to come by!

  3. Well, in case you missed my other post, we adopted another puppy. She's 13 months, and didn't know anything when we brought her home last Sunday. The owners kept her in a 8 * 4 foot fenced in area in their back yard. We had to wash her 3 times when she came home. Her smell was absolutely horrible; not to mention the dirt on her. She didn't know a single command. Sit, lay, stay, etc. Well, in a week, she's learned all those, and we're working on some more advanced guard dog training. Grandpa's a professional dog trainer, so he's been a HUGE help! he's probably tired of me calling........[*-)]

    Oh ya, she's Bulloxer Pit.......

  4. Well, it's been about 3 weeks since I've posted; maybe even longer than that. I was in the field playing Rambo for a week, and we adopted a new 1 year old puppy who's been keeping me busy to say the least. She's an American Bulloxer Pit. I'll post pix of her in a little while........

    I haven't even had time to enjoy a movie lately. Get up, go to work, walk dogs, feed the kids, feed the dogs, then train the dogs. by then, it's 8 o clock!

  5. Not my debit card, but someone broke into my checking account so to say a few years back. Very low tech way. Here's what he did (they caught the guy). I wrote a check at walmart. they guy found the time etc. to write down my account and routing numbers. And that was all he needed to pay for stuff online with checks. He just made up generic check numbers. Got about 900 bucks in one day.

    On the brighter side, they caught the guy, and my bank re imbursed me the money........
