      I'm with Barron on this one. Mittens want to pee on feet. Mittens are divisive. Mittens pit innocent thumbs with good hearts against conniving phalanges seeking to overthrow hands. Mittens could never be a Musketeer or dentist or figure skaters. Mittens have never even seen synchronized swimming. Mittens don't even try. And have you ever tried to flip someone off with mittens??? It's witchcraft, I tell you!!! I never met a mitten I liked, trusted or relied upon. Evil, I tell you, EVIL!!!! 😝

    CRATE “TIP” you can usually get a crate divider, it’s a little panel of the fencing that you can hook on as a wall to adjust the size of sleeping space. It was great when our girl was a growing pup!

    • @Sunflower64155

    Thanks for the new video! I really appreciate watching "a day in the life of . . . " I am really impressed with Pilot's training to be incorporated into your every day life. You threw the toy and then gave the "leave it" command; and she DID!! Training your new dog NOT freak out around the vacuum is a challenge--we finally just started calling it "the big wind machine, and moved on to the next task. Pilot's eyes (1:34) are SO endearing--yep; she's HOME, safe and secure! 🐾♥

    those ball launcher stick things are awesome, my shepherd LOVES his. I have a chronic pain illness, so without it I could only throw the ball a few feet, leaving my dog looking at me like "you really expect me to go and get that?"... but with that launcher thing, that ball easily reaches the other side of the field, making my dog a much happier and way more challenged camper.
    Though these days, we use it a lot less frequent as my boy is 10 years old, and even though he would never want to admit it, he is slowly starting to show signs of old age.
    His eyes are getting a little cloudy, he gets a little stiff in the joints some days when he has either been doing too much or has been laying still for a while, you know, the usual old age signs that it is slowly starting to be that time to really be aware of making as many good memories as we still can, and to really enjoy the good days as long as he's still got them...
    So we use the launcher less and our walks are a little calmer most days, couple easy walking laps around the local park or such, but the times we do take the launcher with us he starts excitedly prancing in the living room before I have even put his leash on, and he doesn't stop until we are at the dog park/field and that first ball gets launched, haha.

    I think Pilot must have some great bloodline. The way her ears are big and straight and how alert she is. Shepherds are incredibly smart dogs and are so ready to learn and want very much to please their humans. The key with them is obedience and socialization with other humans. Don’t know if she’ll go after packrats though. You’ll need a Jack Russell for that. Oh yeah, like now you need three dogs???? Hilarious!
    Camp on the other hand is more like a roommate, ya got to live with the particular personality. But still a great dog! I so loved the video you did a long time ago with his own “monologue”. So funny and you nailed his personality! Do another!
