Growing On Me

Well, here's an update on the Tyson Invader. It's looks like he will stay with us, but he was pretty close on going back. We are trying a routine with him keeping him on a leash, kennel, and pen at times.

Lucas is doing well with him. They now will sleeping near each other without stirring each other up.

Bella is another issue. She is really now accepting him well at all, but she's going to have to soon. First she needs to remember she's the top dog in the house (other than Jenny & Me). Next we need to get her to walk with Tyson without freaking out. Tyson is improving well on walking and the accidents are decreasing (not that there were a lot of them). Bella still walks well, too, but when they are together she is just unbearable. Jenny and I kind of feel it's our fault trying to protect her from getting hurt from other dogs and unintentionally kept her from socializing with other dogs. This is one of the reasons why she loves people so much.

Instead of beating ourselves up on that we are going to break this behavior and work on a new one. It will work because: 1) we are going to work to make this happen and 2) she's going to have to accept that Tyson is not going anywhere.

This will work even if it kills us (don't worry it won't). For some reason I'm feeling very motivated.



Darn Dog Is Growing On Me!!!!!!!

I will give more updates on this and talk on other things as well.

Newcomer

New Post Yeah!!!!!!

Our home has been invaded by a hybrid. Thanks to Heather and Sin we are test driving a new creature for the weekend. His name is Tyson. He is a Chihuahua-Dachshund (man that's harder to spell than the first half) mix.

We got him at a Pet Hospital where Sin works. Tyson was in danger of being put in a pound because the owners have a new baby in the home and since Tyson is only 4 months old, he got very jealous and was nipping & destroying everything. Sin and her co-workers stopped them in their tracks and said to give them two days to find him a home.

She then dropped the bomb at Applebees on movie night in ear shot of my wife. Of course, she was caught of guard and really wanted him, but there was one thing in her way.



YAAAAAARGH ME!!!!

We went to go see him and really liked him. We later took him home for the test drive. Things are going a bit shaky now, but I'm trying to stay positive in believing that we can get him trained and disciplined. It might work. The tough times are when I am out of town and Jenny works her long hours on the same days. He can't be alone for too long. We'll try to figure it out.

Two others are definately not sure about this invader (as they may see it). Lucas as be trying to meet the Tyson and all of Tyson wants to do is play with Lucas, but he's not having that. Bella is even more resistant. Tyson is probably too excitable for her right now. Lucas though seems to have now jumped to protector mode and Tyson is a bit shaky about going near him. It's just the beginning.

I will let you all know later if we end up keeping him or not. Cross your fingers.

KaPow/KaChinga

4 Stars

Starring Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Larry The Cable Guy, Cheech Marin, Tony Shalhoub, Jenifer Lewis, John Ratzenberger with Micheal Keaton & George Carlin

Another great hit by Pixar. A young rookie, Lightning McQueen, tries to battle it out to win the Piston Cup, but on the way to L.A. he gets caught up in a small town along Route 66 called Radiator Springs. While there he does a little growing up while enriching the lives of the folks there.

Definately worth checking out. Even owning. I love Pixar and I wish they would breakaway from Disney and do their own thing, but I'm not a businessman, just an avid movie goer.

Check it out..........................No, just buy it.

Who's Son Are You?

Movie Review
Superman Returns
After 5 years the man returns. This was a great movie done by Brian Singer (X2 & Usual Suspects) starring Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, & Kevin Spacey. Spacey was the perfect choice in place of Hackman to play the role of Lex Luthor (very twisted character). A lot of folks would say the story line was pretty lame, but if you think of it. No one thought very highly of any of the Superman movies except for Superman II when he battle General Zod and his partners in crime. People loved that one.
So in the light of that I felt this Superman definately follow the ways of the old movies. Very impressive given how some of the other comic book films that sway or change from the origional story flow.
I definately recommend this movie to any action, sci-fi, comic book fan. You will enjoy it. Check it out.

Whoop That Trick

Movie Review
Hustle & Flow

Starring Terrance Howard, Hustle & Flow is about a pimp (D Jay) who decided to move on with his life and engage the rap arena. He runs into an old friend from school, Kay (Anthony Anderson), who currently does music production for various groups including his own church, and asked him on way he can start the venture.

I felt the movie was neccessary top show, but I felt that it could have had more tecture. Even though I not too much into current hip hop now, I enjoyed some of the tracks D Jay & Kay laid down. It definately shows why some of the lyrics released by some artists are the way they are. They are basically telling life the way they see it in the only language they know. As they would say, if you don't like it don't listen to it.

This movie also stars DJ Qualls, Taryn Manning & Taraji P. Henderson with a short apperance by Ludacris.

I would definately recommend everyone movie appreciator to check out this movie. See Saw on being an owner, but probably not a waste of money. Check it out.
