I recently posted a picture of my Toby in a bandana supporting the troops and found there was a great deal of interest in them. If anyone can find a source for the ribbons with an American flag on them , please let me know....I currently only have access to the ribbons with the Canadian flag...

Having a son in the military, I decided that we should all show our support, here's Toby and his salute to the troops...... and then he waits....he knows it's time for his W.A.L.K.

Of course I missed the ritual of carefully removing the keys from the hook, as he dances around the house in circles and gallops through our hallway....he knows the sound even when we try to hide it......Bought him a SUV and he owns the back half of it......Spoiled much? then he waits as we...

Now that I remember how to post the pics after being away for awhile...I have some for you....he's a beauty ....getting bigger and better every day....Love him to bits....his pal is an 8lb Yorkie.....go figure.... and some snuggle time with his Mama Enjoying the little snow we had this...

Hey guys..so glad to be back , lots of catching up to do...Proud to say that Toby is progressing really well.....so happy we didn't give up on him...he's the life in our home....we have been through so much but the rewards are obvious. We've had him for 6 months now....I gave it a year to work...

Thanks from Toby...he was so thrilled at the arrival of his package....spoiled rotten.....opened them all on his own....not so graceful but loved everything and shared the treats with his sibbies....... Especially loved the teddy bear.....walks around with it in his mouth..... so...

Has everyone received their packages....very curious as to what I've missed this past week....working for Animal Services this time of year is really sad.....I know that anyone in our shelter right now is there for Christmas and it makes my heart ache....I'll do my santa thing with the stuffed...

Toby and Huey may differ in size, but the Yorkie remains the Boss....appears that he will wait for Huey to take a treat first and stay seated until I give him the go ahead.....all the hard work is paying off.....Plays rough but that's just because he likes to hop and gallop like a small...

This was taking on our walking path, conveniently located next to my home as I live next to a ravine.....our daily walks and training is going well.....A dog who can gently give kisses for treats can't be all that bad.....this is his new trick....Wow, I love this boy more and more every day...

As everyone knows I have been working with Toby for the past few months and have taken advise from experts, some of which I have agreed and some not quite hitting the mark....I want to recommend to anyone with issues with their dog a site by Dr Sophia Yin....she has many training videos some of...

Hey all....haven't posted in awhile....trying to make some time to update everyone on Toby's progress..... I've been working straight the last few weeks and not able to keep touch but Hubby is doing much of the work with Toby and progress is being made.... Asked the rescue to come and visit last...

Hey gang.... Yet another incident with my Newf Toby... Had my 2 nephews and niece over for the weekend....came out to go to Santa parade....of course I knew I should use management with Toby....he'd been around my niece before but not the two nephews... He was leashed when they walked in the...

Toby is now considered a qualified reindeer.....working for Santa this year...hates the job though....

I'm starting to prepare for Christmas.....working on Christmas cards and decorating....my favorite time of year.....

Toby had his second class in obedience today....it was as different as day and night....cannot believe the improvement from last week...... In my last post I was so discouraged but with the support from everyone here I thought OK , maybe it will improve next time.... Well, he was amazing....he...
