sid and the Tennis ball, plus leash training pics

[herpocrite27]

Sid carried this tennis ball around the living rood for ten minutes. The Tennis ball has a squeeker inside, so he kept squeeking the ball when he chomped down on it. It was driving the dog crazy. My little Rat Terrior was so P'd off that Sid had his ball. It was funny to watch. He totally egnored the food on the floor and just kept playing with the tennis pall.
I also added a picture of sid,s first day of leash training.

Sid is 35 inches long. He has grown 5 inches in only 3 weeks. Its crazy how fast they grow.
This is a different leash that I had him in earlier. Both of them are dog leashes that I modified and or shortened. This leash is a XZ 12"-18" comfort wrap adjustable harness made by Costal. I cut the top strap and buckle assembly off. I hooked the leash right to the loops on each side of the harness. This also made it super easy to get him into. I just place it in front of him and lift it up as he steps into the holes. Leash training is going well except when I try to bring him back inside. I like taking him outside everyday after he has been up for an hour or so. That way he poos outside and not in his cage or on my carpet. He claws at the glass when he has to poo now. Just make sure when you hear his claws you rush him outside before he desides he really has to go. I only had one failed attempt, just not fast enough.... ewww.......
