As a dog, I get into trouble a lot!   I hate to say it, but it is in my nature to find that yummy left over in the garbage.  Can I help it if I had to dump everything else on the floor?  Shoes..... drool.... I maybe over a year old but I still love the shoes!  They are so fun to chew.   There are many ways I can get in trouble.  A big one for me, is barking when my buddy is leaves me alone.   All these and other scenarios get me in trouble.  The thing is, I dont' like being in trouble!  (who does?)  I feel bad and my tail goes down and I get a sad face and just want to be alone for awhile.  No one likes to be in trouble.   I have started to try and learn from my mistakes.  As a dog, if I do, I get a "good boy treat" which does help give me incentive to be good!  If I leave the shoes alone, and don't bark when somoene leaves, when they come home I get a better and big loving greeting.   Now when I do someting wrong and get a scolding, I remember it for the next time.I try to learn from my mistakes.  A few weeks ago I was scolded for pulling on my leash, since then I stoppped pulling on the leash and I don't get into trouble.  I learned from my mistakes!

As humans you too can learn from your mistakes.  If you do something wrong, evaluate what you did, change your habit, and if at all possible don't repeat the mistake!  We all can learn from our mistakes and implement steps not to repeat them.

(PS to this, I doubt I will ever learn to stay out of the garbage!)

Hi everyone!  It is Saturday and I had a wonder time at the park playing with a ball.   My buddy wanted me to bring it back and just drop the ball so she could make me run for it.  HA I tricked her! I made HER run after ME to get the ball.   Once she was able to get the ball from me, she threw it again.  It was real fun.  The sun was out, the grass was green.   It was really nice to see my buddy away from the office.   She has been working overtime alot the last few weeks and then brought her work home her.    Maybe not her computer, but that is all she talked about all night, everynight.   She was getting grumpy and tired.  I would go try to get some tummy scratching and she would be all grumble and say not now.   Finally, today she let it all go and relaxed and got her mind off of work.

I think when you are tired, feel overworked, grumpy take time out and walk your dog!  If you don't have a dog, take time out for yourself and get your mind off of work.  It helps the stress and clear the mind and put priorities in perspective.  Once again, I can wag my tail and get the attention and love, not the grumblies!

By the way this was at the a basset hound waddle where I made other basset hound friends.  

We are going for a walk any minute so this post will be a fast short one!  If you can, check out this video www.deskdemon.com/dnet/vid.php.  I am a jealous pooch!   In our office I am the only dog and though I do get plenty of human attention, if I was at this company called Purina, I would have co-workers that would understand me!   I have posted a few other videos about my compadres working in the office.   I hope you enjoy them.

I love cheese!  My buddy likes to keep her engery up in the day with a mid morning snack.   Today I was snoozing on my pillow when all of a sudden I heard one of my favorite noises, the sound of my buddy opening packages of what she calls string cheese!    After hearing the sound, the sense of smell evaded my nose!  Hey, I am a bassett hound and have excellent sense of smell!  I decided I had to go investigate the situation, so off to the breakroom I go.   What did I find?  My buddy was indeed enjoying a cheese snack.   Instantly I gave her the "eye".. you know puppy begging eyes.  It didn't work!   The cheese smelled SO good, I had to at least have a nibble.  My next step was, "shake."  I put my paw on her lap and once again gave her the "eye."    Woof!  It worked and I got a small strip of cheese!  It made my day!   I don't get snacks all the time.   My buddy thinks it is important to eat regularly and not skip meals.   She eats 5 small meals a day.  That gives me 5 chances for a snack!  She only feeds me dry food twice a day.  At times it gets boring.  She says for people, eating 5 small meals keeps your engery up all day for dogs, we have too much energy at times so 2 times a day works fine.  I think I will go take a nap and ponder how wonderful it would be to eat 5 times a day.

My name is Teal'c and I am a 1 year old spoiled bassett hound.   Everyday I get to go to the office with my best buddy and watch her work.   She was going to create a blog but didn't know what  say everyday so I decided to take her place.  Am I not the luckiest dog around?  How many dogs get left at home each day while their owners go to work!  Alas, it is not all play at the office.  I have an official function to provide tail wags and attention to anyone stressed.  I am a dog, so admit there are times, I am the one that causes stress! Hey, what can I say!  It is my nature to want attention.   Today my buddy is busy on the phone responding to an email that went out.  I think she spends most of every morning on the phone!  As for me, it is time to go stretch out on my pillow and take a nap.  Blog to you later!
