Brinkley had some open sores on her foot over the last few weeks, so we had to put her in the dreaded plastic lamp shade of doom for a while:

Fortunately, she’s doing much better now. However, Brinkley and her sister Jada are in for another disappointment this week. First, let me say that while we do have the pups tone-trained on a remote collar system, unless we watch them constantly while we’re outside, they will leave our yard and wander the neighborhood. As a result, their potty/exercise breaks have had to be shorter and shorter (since we obviously have to keep an eye on Cam at the same time), and Aim and I have felt bad about that.

So, in an attempt to improve quality of life for them and us, we’re biting the bullet and installing Invisible Fence tomorrow. I know a lot of dog owners are against this kind of “jail,” but I think it’s a win-win for everyone.

Plus, I’m buying a third collar so I can put it on Cam and teach him not to cross the street without permission. (It’s a joke, folks. You don’t have to call Dr. Phil or Oprah.)
