I want to take them camping.  I can't decide between the woods or the beach.  The desert will be too hot.

It is not easy but it is important to crate train them.  He will get used to it.

He slept on me and beside me again, however he awoke before I did and chewed my cord to my keyboard to my laptop. Unfortunately they do not sell this style of a low vision keyboard anymore. The new keyboards are curved at the top and do not fit in my keyboard drawer in my desk well. Might need to just buy a cheap cheap keyboard to gut it for the USB cable.

He is doing better in the crate. Instead of starting at night, we started in the day slowly (which I should have remembered), and now he is in the living room all alone in his crate sleeping.
 
As far as Vegas, no. That would cost a lot more money to do and do not feel comfortable renting a airline crate. If he was my guide dog, then yes he would come and he would fly sitting next to me. Maybe in 2012 if there is a meet I can bring my guide dog if I can get scheaduled far enough in the year to get one.
 
Trying to post a video on Facebook of him playing fetch with a ball and a frisbee. It would not post from my phone for some reason.

He slept thru the night for once, but up at 4:30 am and we stayed out to watch the sun come up. I feel worn out and tired. He is ringing the frisbee back easier now though. We are still trying to figure out how much to give him of food per day.
 
Not sure I would call his belly round, but I'm not to familar with puppies.

Awful day at last doc appt. Test could not be don in office due to so much pain that is not normal, so now have to have test in the hospital under anesthesia so they can get tissue sample and look at the bladder and stay a day or two. Coming home was painful and going to the bathroom is excruciating.Pain level scale needs to go higher than 10!

YLGUY - Yes, he had to go tothe bathroom when I walked in, but I wasn'tin the mood to chase him around.
 
MooseMom - I didn't post anything anywhere else, I did not know the urologist was going to do this test cytoscope? to look in the bladder and measure urine output and flow with fluid they would put in. So now I have to go under for this test so he can take tissue sample to see if the prostrate is the problem or something else that caused this pain when the camera was attempted to be insered. It hurt like that when I was in the hospital with all the other problems in September of 2010, but never like that before when a cath was inserted. I am not looking forward to this test except for being put under. He said I will hurt afterwards like I do now. I am trying to not drink as much so I do not have to go!
