Milo the Magnificent

Just as I was about to write a post on Swing and her tracking adventures, I received the following email from Art...

I am happy to report that Milo is doing exceedingly well.  I am taking him to obedience class each week and he is showing great promise.  I have also started agility class with Milo.  This is a new one for me, so we are both still trying to figure it out.  (Yes, this is a thinly veiled plea for help from those who have more experience with agility.)  The good news is that Milo loves agility class and I am sure it is just a matter of time before we figure out what it is we have to do. 

We traveled to Maine for vacation this summer.  We stayed where we had access to a dog friendly beach.  Milo was welcome on the beach any time day or night.  As a result, when we went to the water, Milo went with us.  The first picture is of Milo swimming in Maine. 

I have elderly parents that live in Florida.  I travel there often and Milo comes with me.  I found a dog park on the beach and dogs and humans can swim and play together in the water.  When I am in Florida, I make a point of taking Milo every day.  He just loves it, especially if there is a dog or two he can play with.  The ball goes everywhere Milo goes, it is now just a part of him. 

The second picture was taken this afternoon at the Isaac Walton League.  The Isaac Walton League is a 625 acre conservation farm and woodland.  Dogs are welcome and with 625 acres there is plenty of room for Milo to run.    Members of the Isaac Walton League  are expected to do a certain number of hours of volunteer work.   In the background of the picture are the trees I helped plant this Saturday. 

To do my volunteer work, I had to leave Milo at home on Saturday morning.  He took this opportunity to write his first poem.  I should explain that all our Weimaraners have been poets, we even had one that was a philosopher.  Lazlo, after rolling in horse poop one day, postulated , “I stink, therefore others know I am.”  Anyway here is Milo’s first poem.  To all receiving this email, Happy Thanksgiving and a great Holiday Season. 

Cuddle with me mom
For I am sad without my dad
Scratch me behind my ears, mom
For I am sad without my dad
Feed me now, mom
For I am sad without my dad
Throw the ball, mom
Throw the ball
Throw the ball
Throw the ball
