The Outboards

Still subscribed to the ol' RSS feed? Good for you! I really need to blow the dust OFF this thing. Anyway, a little announcement. I'm playing bass in a band called The Outboards. There is a CD coming out soon, and here are a couple samples, and links. Enjoy!

I'm cheating on this site over at pbomike.com.

Change Is In The Air

Change is in the air

I realize it's been quite a long time since I've posted anything. There are many reasons for that, but everything is going really well. Lots of change going on in my world; I'll post a full update in a couple days. For every season...

Fun in the yard with a spring pole

I made what's called a spring pole for the dogs to tug on in the yard. It consists of a garage door spring, rope, and some carabiners. They love it, and it gives them a good way to burn energy. We also put the harnesses on Eko and Dottie today and they took turns pulling Libby on the skateboard while I led with the leash. It was lots of fun, but hard to capture with a camera. I'll have to rig something with the iPhone for next time.

The New Game

Poca goes up to grab the Kong

For a while there, Poca figured out she could easily clear the gate and go for a run around the house if she wanted. This happened twice, but I was lucky enough to capture her quickly. I never leave them unsupervised outside. We worked on recall skills, added some outdoor toys, and kept treats ready as rewards. Poca is a smart girl, and she figured out that there's more fun in the yard than on the other side of the fence. A little extra walking helps too. I'm back to trusting her off leash for quick trips outside to take care of business, and now there's a new game to play.
