.:: One Week ::.

I have one week off. I'm very happy about that. I'm going to relax and not do too much tomorrow.

Things I'd like to do this week...

• Tidy the big room
• Move the piano and bookcases into the big room
• Move the bed in the small room from the window
• Move things around in the living room
• Train the dogs to walk without pulling
• Train the dogs not to bark at people in the street
• Train the wee guy to come when calling his name
• Have my 34th birthday
• Have fun
• Walk lots

I am looking forward to this week off. Lots to do but most of it can be done within a day or so. Training the dogs will take a while but I'm hoping it won't take too long. Jasper is just over a year old and Captain Jack is about 9months so they should learn quickly. They don't bark at everyone in the street. They both truly dislike the woman who lives upstairs...she's an all out drunk and for some reason Jasper doesn't like the smell of alcohol. Although if he around while the alcohol is being drunk he's ok. Tonight I have a can of beer and a brandy and Jasper is fine with it. Anyone else that we come across where there is a strong smell of drink from them (including my dad who had been out at a pub quiz and who Jasper adores) Jasper goes nuts. I'm not sure how we tackle that. I guess there isn't anything we can do. I hope if he's trained right he'll stop barking at drunk people. Both boys aren't that bad but they aren't as good as they could be. It's not their fault it's ours. These boys are my first dogs and I admit I've made a lot of mistakes. When they were little I just let them pull and run about. I now realise that I should have been training them to walk properly from the first time they were on a lead. I'm excited about training them. Well I'll be training Jasper, my other half will be training Captain Jack. If anyone has any tips I'm all ears.
