Toby's World

Yesterday I took Toby for his adjustments. That dog sure has it made! I wish someone would take me to have acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments done on me. He has such a life. Gets to act like a brat most days. Has fun at school and a cabinet loaded with yummy treats! Life just couldn't get any better!

Any way, I had to take everything that goes in, on, and around Toby to the Vet yesterday. I felt very weird when I walked in with three bags and my purse loaded down. Much to my surprise I did not hold the record for the most indulgent pup. I guess you can say I am proud of that. As most of you know Toby gets what he wants when he wants. Well, back to the events of the day. Dr. Ave did the arm thing again. Very freaky! Out of all of the stuff I took there were only 4 things not good for Toby. Clorox II, Nupro joint supplement, Hot shot detangler, and some all natural treats that had carrots in them. Everything else was OK for Toby. Including the cheese wiz and the Bill Jack. The Bill jack was very surprising! Bill Jack is junk food of all junk food. I don't like it! But sometimes you just have to do what will get the job done. Plus Toby only gets it for training about once a month. Dr. Ave explained to me that just because it is junk food doesn't mean that it doesn't agree with Toby. So there you go! She was very happy with all of the choises I have made with Toby's diet. Once again I need to thank Dori and Jamie for teaching me good nutrition for Toby. Thanks Guys, I could not do it with out your help!

As far as the acupuncture and the adjustment, I am not sure Toby was real pleased about that. He reacted to the pokes with needles in his feet and there was a place on his back that made him react just a little. I thought for sure after all of that that he would have a perfect straight sit in obedience class last night. But no! That was the last thing he was going to do in class.

Obedience class went so so. I do have to admit that is was very warm last night. You all know how Toby hates it when it is hot. We struggled with his sits all night long. He loves to roll back. I think that it is just more comfortable for him. I have been told other wise. Everything else was great!

Well this is Friday morning and Toby gets a day of barking in the back yard. He is not allowed to do it every day anymore. I have put a stop to most of the self rewarding behavior he likes to do. So Friday mornings I let him bark until it gets hot out side. He then has to be quiet or come in the house. This seems to be working. I spent some time watching his run this morning. It looks like he running is a lot smoother than before we started the Chiropractic work. All in all Toby seems to be very pleased with his life.
