The good news is that I like the little guy. Sure, he makes a lot of noise, he smells, and he takes most of mom's attention but he's actually kind of cute. I think he likes me too! He even shares his playmat.<br />

Maybe we'll eventually get more information and we'll know a little more but maybe not. In the meantime, we have to find peace and comfort somehow.<br />
<br />
In light of the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=boston&oq=boston&gs_l=news-cc.3..43j0i3j0l8j43i53.13188.13578.0.13734.6.5.0.0.0.0.146.487.2j3.5.0...0.0...1ac.1.57d0hMAUeRU" target="_blank">most recent tragedy</a> in Boston I got to talking with Mom. Well, she was talking and I was listening but I really was listening hard. She said that it's important that everyone has someone to talk to about their troubles and their concerns. The people of Boston, especially those who were at the site of the explosions, need someone who can comfort them and help them through this difficult time of doubt, worry and stress.<br />
<br />
The therapy dogs of Lutheran Church Charities are trying to do just that! Five of the LCC K9 Comfort Dogs are being "deployed" to Boston to visit the injured in the hospital, listen as people talk, and give cuddles and kisses to help people feel better. Mom read about them <a href="http://www.today.com/pets/therapy-dogs-offer-comfort-after-boston-bombings-1C9364935" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I'm excited to announce his name will be Lukas and we will be the best of friends. In preparation for my his coming arrival Mom and Dad have been doing a lot of stuff around the house. It's been a little unsettling to be honest, but that's a completely separate post...<br />
<br />
What has actually been fun is all of the presents they keep getting for me. Ok most of them are for Lukas but many people have included gifts for me, the BIG brother, especially the nice folks at <a href="http://pbrsd.org/" target="_blank">Pit Bull Rescue San Diego</a>. Mom has been volunteering with them for a few years and last night at her leadership meeting they threw her a surprise baby shower. It must have been really fun because she hasn't shut up about it since!<br />
<br />
While Lukas got plenty of onesies, socks, and blankets (boring!), Mom got some really cute doggie related items too. Those nice ladies know how to shop ;)<br />

First up, the cutest most adorable stuffed animal that Mom will <u>never</u> let me play with. *sigh* I mean I kind of get it, it's really cute and we don't want to wreck it but man would it feel good to carry around in my mouth. Maybe when she's not looking...<br />

Isn't he cute? Well of course he is - he looks just like me! Alicia ordered him from this adorable Etsy shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/scooterandgoose" target="_blank">scooterandgoose</a> who created him based on a few pictures of me. He even has my crooked ear! </div>

I mean this in the nicest way because well, so do I! We all have things that make us tick (even you humans!) but sometimes it is just a matter of managing it. I mean, think about it. You don't like the guy in the office who tells really long and boring stories so you turn the other way and avoid him in the hall, right? It's really the same for me too - I don't particularly like some other big dogs I see on walks so mom usually turns me around and takes me another way. I don't mean to insult the other dog because really it's not their fault, it's my issue!<br />
<br />
Since <a href="http://readjacksblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/playtime.html" target="_blank">posting about playtime </a>last week we've gotten lots of great feedback that it helped. Well since then we've done some more learning and found additional pages that will help you and your humans :)<br />

The general idea is that some dogs just need more space. Maybe it's because they're healing from a recent surgery, or they're in training, or perhaps it's more like my situation where I just don't like dogs who run right up in my face. RUDE!!</div>

Have you seen any dogs with <a href="http://theyellowdogproject.com/The_Yellow_Dog_Project/Home.html" target="_blank">yellow ribbons</a> on their leashes? Me neither but it's not a bad idea!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least Mom said <a href="http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/my-pitbull-not-a-dog-breed-ambassador" target="_blank">this article</a> made her feel better. It's from our friends at <a href="http://www.dogster.com/" target="_blank">Dogster</a> who always come up with good resources. The last paragraph of the article, particularly the last line really sum it up:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">"He’s not a breed ambassador, but he’s mine, and I think he’s perfect!</span>"</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
We can't all be perfect but we can try our best. I try to be a good dog every day but sometimes I just get annoyed or irritated and I need to be corrected. Mom and Dad continue to work with me and that's really all I can ask for. I'm so lucky they *get* me and love me anyway. I love them too!<br />

I am posting these because Mom and I have been talking a lot about proper playtime and when things get out of hand. Ok, she talks and I just stare at her but I'm really listening I promise! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mom found <a href="http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/dog-training-behavior-4-tips-finding-good-playmate" target="_blank">this cool article</a> on <a href="http://www.dogster.com/" target="_blank">Dogster</a> (we love them!) about choosing a proper playmate and I told her it's a good one. Think about it - you're pretty picky about who you would let play with your human child, right? Well why should us furry kids be any different?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See, the thing is that there are some dogs in my 'hood who just don't play nice. I don't mean that they're not nice dogs, they really are, but their play styles don't mesh well with mine and sometimes I just get a little mad. Mom has been paying closer attention to my body language and has started to pick up on the doggie play cues I give off. I am pretty demonstrative when I don't like something but there are little things I do as I'm starting to get annoyed too. This "Doggie Language" chart below has helped her a lot:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main thing is that Mom looks for my body, head, ears, and tail to stay loose. Look at the "friendly" or "happy" dogs above - nothing sticks out straight and the muscles are relaxed. <a href="http://www.dogster.com/lifestyle/dog-training-tips-6-signs-healthy-play?utm_source=Sters+Newsletter+Subscribers&utm_campaign=bbe92bf7ce-01232013_Dogster_newsletter&utm_medium=email" target="_blank">This article</a> calls this Jell-O bones and it's a good analogy - everything should be wiggly and jiggly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Above all else, Mom has learned to say "NO" and walk away from the dogs that I don't get along with. It was hard at first because of course everybody wants to play with me (duh, I'm adorable...) but we've learned it's just easier to avoid some situations. The long, retractable leash? Nope. The unruly and untrained puppy? No thanks. I'm learning that there are good times to play and times when it's just best to go the other way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what about you...how do you like to play?</div>

Have you been to this place? It's amazing!!! Mom calls it the Home Depot but for me it's a wonderful adventure full of new smells, sounds and lots of nice people. This has been a great place to really test my training (and give me a chance to show off). The employees are very nice, giving me lots of love and attention. Of course everyone points out my silly ear! </div>

We have so much fun exploring the store but I do have to be watched in the garden section. Apparently you're not supposed to pee on those plants? I'm still not sure exactly how they're different than the ones outside but judging by mom's reaction they are <i>very </i>different. </div>

A little weird at first but it tasted great. Mom mixed this powder with warm water and MMMM did it smell good!! I could see how it would be easy to bring on a road trip, to go camping, etc. because it doesn't take up any room. Mom says it's a smart buy too because it's made completely from human-grade products with minimal processing selected from fair-trade, sustainable and "green" suppliers in CA. It's even made here in San Diego!</div>

Have you seen the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGs4CjeJiJQ" target="_blank">Brad Pitt ad</a> for Chanel No. 5? Even if you haven't seen the ad, you may have seen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_eEFjf4Mls" target="_blank">the skit making fun of it</a> on SNL this week. At any rate, we dogs had to get in on the fun too.<br />

I've had all these GREAT ideas but somebody has been too busy to be of any use. She seems to think that things like being in the busiest time of the year at work, studying for the LSAT and getting into a car accident are valid excuses for completely abandoning my writing career. For shame!<br />
<br />
Well, a lot has happened since my Mom decided she liked a lot of things better than me so I won't try and shove them all down your throat at once. One thing at a time my friends...<br />
<br />
First, if you follow us on Instagram you probably remember this adorable picture of me in my big, giant bed. If you don't follow us on Instagram...well then you should. Look us up @littlerockfish or just check out my pics by searching for #jacksblog.<br />

Ok back to my story. This bed is To. Die. For. It's so perfectly soft without being too squishy, it has these great bolsters on the sides that I can cuddle up against, and it was only $40 at Costco. Everyone wins! </div>

I finally got my chance a few weeks ago and I had such a great time. We helped her hang a shelf in the dining room then Mom and A.C. shared some wine and laughs. I mainly just laid...well, and smelled <i>every</i> inch of the house!<br />

Just the other day I met Sher who was nice enough to show me a <a href="http://kooltool.biz/Kool_Tool/Kool_Tool_Home.html" target="_blank">Kool Tool</a> - I love it! All you have to do is get it wet, wring it out, snap it and it's set to go. The best part is that it doesn't drip on my fur and I don't end up getting wet (and smelling like wet dog). Too good to be true? I thought so too!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Luckily Sher let me (and Mom and Dad) try one out and I am happy to report it's as good as they say. Check me out:</div>

Mostly I just laid in the corner and watched Mom work but I also got to meet lots of fun people and even run down the hall chasing my ball! It was a great day.<br />

However, these days I'm doing this cool thing where I lay near my bed but not really on it...<br />

Mom's actually surprised it took as long as it did. I learned a very valuable lesson tonight: never chase the skunk in the yard. Mom learned an important one too: how to de-skunk a dog! <br />
<br />
It started as such a simple night...Mom came home and picked me up to go hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's. I came in the house, ran right over to the backyard, and went outside to investigate the scratching I heard on the other side of the yard. I ran over there REALLY fast and Grandpa started yelling at me but I was just trying to get there as quick as possible so I could play with the furry black and white thing in the corner. Unfortunately that guy was NOT very nice and I ended up smelling...a lot. Whoopsie! <br />
<br />
A quick Google search came up with the idea to use tomato juice to get rid of the smell and I quickly went into the bath.<br />
<br />

My eyes were stinging really bad, as you can see in the picture above. I think maybe the little stinker sprayed me in my right eye and boy did that hurt! Luckily the tomato juice tasted good as it dripped off my face :) Oh and yes, that's my grandmother on the floor drying me with a blow-dryer. Even when I do silly stuff like this they still take such good care of me!<br />
<br />
I laid in my bed for a while and then Mom realized...the tomato juice only masked the smell for a little bit. Uh oh... back to Google we went. A little more digging and we found Paul Krebaum's recipe <a href="http://dogs.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=dogs&cdn=homegarden&tm=3414&gps=335_115_1366_673&f=00&su=p504.6.342.ip_&tt=7&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//home.earthlink.net/%7Eskunkremedy/home/sk00001.htm" target="_blank">here</a>. Perhaps the best way to remove skunk smell from dogs, it was a lifesaver! Here's the basic recipe:<br />
<br />
16 oz. hydrogen peroxide<br />
1/8 cup baking soda<br />
1 tbsp liquid soap<br />
About 12 oz. warm water<br />
<br />
We used this all over my body but avoided my eyes because the hydrogen peroxide burns. We put it on and let it sit, lathered it up, and finally rinsed it off. I got dried...again! <br />

The new recipe really helped a lot and I'm finally starting to lose the smell. Mom thinks we may need to give me another bath tomorrow to really get rid of it completely but it's already soooo much better. I still smell a little funky but it's already a million times better. What's weird about the skunk smell is that it's different on your skin than in the air...it almost smells like oil and burning gasoline. Let's just say it's not good. </div>

First we did two rounds of <a href="http://www.petco.com/petco_Page_PC_dogtrainingclasses.aspx" target="_blank">Petco puppy classes</a>, then Mom taught me all kinds of fun tricks at home, and finally we worked with my trainer <a href="http://www.wholedogtraining.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=34" target="_blank">Jessica</a>. Well Mom decided it was time to really kick it into high gear and put my knowledge to the test. <div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally. There is a test. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started preparing, studying, and practicing for our <a href="http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/program.cfm" target="_blank">Canine Good Citizen</a> Test and this thing is no joke! Thanks to our wonderful trainers at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/LeapDogTraining?ref=ts" target="_blank">Leap Dog Training</a> we are coming along nicely so far (I think...)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A lot of what we've done so far is reinforcing what I already know (sit, stay, lay) but some of it has been very new. For example, I have to be able to sit and wait patiently while Mom shakes someone's hand and I can't get up until she tells me it's ok. I CAN'T GET UP AT ALL!! I'm slowly getting a hang of it but man, by the end of our hour-long classes, I'm pooped! I sleep all day Saturday!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today we're at our third class in the series, of six, so I'm sharing pictures with you all from the first two weeks. Here I am sitting and laying oh so nicely, watching Mom closely for my treats.</div>

I have to listen <i>very </i>closely to what Mom tells me to do and but it sure does make it easier that she has a whole pouch full of treats. Mmmmm I love treats! The only thing is that on the test she won't be able to treat me for good behavior, I will have to do it just because I want to. Hmm I'm not so keen on that idea yet but I'll keep it under consideration.<br />
