I was picking up some food for my dog from Pet Zone and got a packet of this new brand of treats they started getting (Zuke’s). They come in various flavors but I picked up the Peanut Butter Formula. My dog really loves it. Like crazy eyes if you don’t give me another treat right now I’m going to rip the bag out of your hand along with your whole arm kind of loves it. They also have kitty versions.

Pet Zone in Al-Rai recently got a dog tag machine. Actually it’s a pet tag machine but I got a tag for my dog. You get to choose a tag from a variety of shapes and colors and then you tell them what you want to print on the front and back. You also get to choose the font you want and then you get to watch your tag being made. It takes around 5 minutes and costs just KD2.

I ended up going with a pink tag for my male dog because they didn’t have this shape in any other color. Once they get a blue or black I’m going to go back and get another one made. If you don’t know where Pet Zone is click [Here]

Registration is now open for entry into the third annual dog show. Geo (my dog) participated in the first and second dog show and will be participating in the third one also but I don’t think he will be participating in any of the competitions, maybe just under “Most adorable dog” although its going to be tough category. I would have him compete in the “Most obedient dog” category but with all those dogs around him he will be too distracted to pay any attention to me.

The event will be held on March 7th from 11AM to 4PM at the British Embassy. If you want to attend or register your dog all the forms are on the PAWS website which you can go to by clicking [Here]

My sister got a dog yesterday and Geo and him have been have been running around playing and fighting ever since. One minute they are best friends and the next they are fighting over a doll. Its ridiculous and exhausting keeping an eye on both of them. They are getting used to each other so thats a good thing. My sisters dog is a Shar Pei and she’s called him Mao but that confuses Geo since Mao sounds like “no” to him. Thats why I’ve decided to call him China Town which I think is cooler and he seems to be responding better to it anyway.

I left Geo (my dog) with my parents for one night and this is what my sister did to him! [Link]

Note: This is not the first time… [Link]

I have gotten a few emails from a few people who were wondering how Geo (my dog) is doing and how come I haven’t been posting about him.

Well Geo is fine, he is around a year and a half old now. He is still extremely playful and hyper and is still on the BARF diet. The reason I haven’t been posting much about him is because not many people are interested in reading about another persons dog.

I do want another dog though and it would have to be either a Saint Bernard or an Irish Wolfhound. Problem is I need a backyard with a garden which I currently don’t have meaning no second dog for now…

Nataly came home today to find her Apple MacBook in the hallway being chewed on by Geo, or dog. I don’t know what got into his head today but for some reason he took the laptop from the living room and started chewing it. Luckily it seems he only chewed the case since the screen is still working and so is everything else meaning it shouldn’t be too costly to fix (I hope). I still don’t understand how he managed to pick up the laptop off the table and drag it to the hallway…

Its been a long time since I last posted about Geo (our dog). Geo is doing ok, he is a year and a half old but still thinks he is a 4 month old puppy who wants to play the whole time none stop. On Friday afternoons we are taking him to this desert like area so he could run around and stretch his legs. If I had a garden I would have definitely gotten another puppy, a mini Geo that way he would have someone to play with the whole time. He is so dopey.

Last year Mark and I attended the first dog show which was held at the British Embassy, Geo had only been with us for a short time back then and he was still a tiny puppy. So when I heard there was going to be another dog show this year I was quite excited. Geo has grown into a gorgeous fairly large size dog and has learned a few tricks so i was quite eager to show him off at the dog show this year. Mark wasn’t going to come along since he was out of the country but I didn’t see that as much of a problem, until the dog show…

As soon as we arrived to the embassy’s parking lot Geo got really excited started rushing through the parking towards the embassy’s main gate dragging me behind him. When we got to the line outside the gate Geo couldn’t get enough of sniffing other dogs and wouldn’t stay put for 2 seconds. I was having a hard time trying to stay in line with Geo harassing the other dogs and their owners.

When we finally went in I noticed the whole thing looked more organized than last year event. There were also more interesting dogs this year including a cool black great dane and a couple of really cute bulldogs. The show didn’t take long to start and we managed to get front row seats.

Geo was still going insane around all these dogs. If there was a category for “Craziest Dog” he would have definitely won. Unfortunately I had him in the “Best tail wagger”, “most adorable” and “most obedient dog” categories. He ended up losing from the first round in all the categories because he was too busy trying to sniff and lick and harass other dogs who were trying to perform their tricks. I can’t say I was surprised and neither was I pleased.

However it was a nice day, I met up with some friends and it was cool to have all the other dogs around since I wanted Geo to have fun. By the time we got home we were both drained out and I definitely wont be doing it again without Mark, not unless Geo had been properly trained till then.

The picture above was taken by Stallion and it shows how Geo couldn’t stay still.

As most of you know, Geo has grown into a large dog and like all dogs he has so much energy confined in him which makes him hard to control some times. He’s a very lively dog which is cool but one of my biggest issues is walking him on the leash, he hasn’t really gotten the hang of it yet and keeps dragging me everywhere when I take him for a walk. So does anyone know a good personal dog trainer here in Kuwait? Mark and I found a good dog training school in Lebanon when we went down in December but we’re not really eager to send him there and we don’t know any other good ones here in Kuwait.
