Good thing Eric got that sound clip when he did.

Because Kurth has now adapted nicely to sleeping in his kennel. Granted, not for particularly long periods of time....he settles in, sleeps for about three hours and then barks to go out. I like this arrangement because Kurth has yet to eliminate in his kennel which means I've yet to have to scrub his kennel out. However, it would be lovely to get more than two hours of sleep in a block (which would explain why Eric and I never had children...)

Anyway, trick of the trade: filling Planet Dog toys with baby food and then freezing them. I'm using the raspberry right now and as Kurth grows, he'll get the strawberry and artichoke. Baby food is available at Big Lots on Merle Hay for a mere $.30 a jar. Can't be beat. For now, he is enjoying Sweet Potato Casserole and, in a different meal, Peaches. Can't say the boy is neglected for his regular meals, either, as he get's Merrick Puppy Plate.

All of this might explain why he's so large. We'll skinny him down, though. I promise. I'm good at that!
