A bite...

So Monday night Chris took Mylo for a walk. When he came back he was pretty upset and told me that some yippy little dog bit Mylo. Of course I was surprised and asked what happened? Chris said that there was an asian lady with her dog off the leash and her dog came up to Mylo when he started to bark and wanted to play. Chris of course had Mylo on his leash. The little dog ran up and bit Mylo on the belly. Chris lost it and started yelling at the lady who of course did not speak english.. or pretended that she did not speak english. 

The next day at two separate times when we took Mylo out for a walk he went strange and started nipping on our arms. He even destroyed Chris' sleeve and just bruised my arm. We think it has something to do with the biting incident. Today he has been fine. But we are watching him closely and working on his behaviour. 

I also enrolled him into Dog training. He starts May 12 and hopefully that will help. 

Run of the house

So Yesterday I went out the side door. Mylo would not do the side door because its on the stairs to the basement. Well that changed. Mylo slowly got the nerve to walk out the open side door which was fine since I was there to prevent him from running off. But then Chris decided to make him do the basement stairs. Now our dog goes every where. Its good that he's not scared to come down anymore but I did like the fact that there was a place you could go to escape our crazy dog. Now we have a gate up to prevent him from going downstairs. Its good especially when we are not home because he's still chewing. Ive lost 2 pairs of flip flops in the past 2 days because he ate them. Well, he ate one of each. Why couldnt he at least eat two of the same. 

Chris and I are really looking into dog training. Im tired of Mylo barking at everyone as they walk past our house and Mylo jumping up on everyone when they come to visit. Plus it would be nice just to have him learn some manners. 

Labrador Border Collie

So recently we had to take Mylo to the vet. He hasn't been eating and the vet assumed he has stomach inflammation. He's been doing better but we also learned what Mylo is crossed with. Mylo is obviously black Lab, he definitely looks like it but his white patches says he's not pure breed. Mylo is crossed with a border collie. Im not sure if there's a name for it but he's labrador collie. 

Once we found out I thought Id go online and find some interesting facts about both breeds. The collie is where he gets his mischeivious behaviour from.

* Collies are highly energetic and as a result have a tendency towards neurotic or destructive behaviour if not given enough to do.

* Labs are exceptionally affable, gentle, intelligent, energetic and good natured, making them both excellent companions

* With training, the Lab is one of the most dependable, obedient and multi-talented breeds in the world
