Almost 8 years ago in just a couple months . Mars will be 8 in a couple weeks. He's showing signs of his age finally and as of this minute can't even know for sure if he will see that birthday. Prayors for our founding Doberman. I don't know what I'd do without him. I love you Mars!!! please get better.

Mars and you are in our prayers. Please keep us informed.
 
I just got a GoPro and am having fun with it. There's an app for my phone so I can watch and control the camera while it's mounted away from me. Here's two videos, one with the camera on Anna's back while she does the Directed Retrieve and one on a headband while Anna does Directed Jumping. I did a video of Anna with the GoPro on her back doing Directed Jumping that didn't turn out well because the camera mountings shifted when Anna jumped. I have to work on that. The sound of footsteps is surprisingly loud on the videos, even though voices aren't.

Playing ring around the house full bore.

TD got a knuckle today. He was in love. We had our first incident of food aggression though, and he got it taken away.

About the aggression: he was completely fine with me and I took it out of his mouth and made him sit while I bagged it up. He growled at my daughter initially, and was told NO. When she came back around he growled again and went after he ankle. That is when I took it away.

He has never acted like this before with his other bones, and my children take them out of his mouth frequently. I do believe that the cause of this was because my daughter was kicking the knuckle away from him right after he got it and he was whining. I put a stop to it as soon as I saw what was happening and he seemed to be fine. Apparently, he wasn't.

I'm no expert and maybe this is not how you want to deal with that. Per our 2 trainers, high value bones get eaten in his crate if our kids are here. If not then he can have it if he lays on his bed.

Oh gosh no please get better Mars. I know how hard it is to say goodbye and don't want that for you both. I love that pic life is to fragile. He's strong he will pull though I know it :) sending healing thoughts and prayers to both of you.
 
I think the high value item topic is better suited for it's own thread since this one is veering OT.
