'moanin, Voltatics.
The hawk is out, as a matter of fact it has to be a whole flock of hawks! The wind is gusting up around 30mph and it actually kept me awake for most of the night. This is the tail end of a low that's dumping snow further north and east of here. Bet Sandy is seeing some to say the least. We had a rainy, cool/cold day yesterday but without much wind.
Other than that, just the same old same old. Leo is getting BIG! He's got to be over 80 pounds already. The new obedience class is going well and he's doing pretty well with all the commands. I can put a treat on the floor, tell him "leave it" and he'll wait until I say "OK, go ahead" before he eats it. He does well with "stay", too, and we can "hold" him from a fair distance without much of a problem.
He has learned a few new "tricks" one of which is biting at the leash at times. Mrs. Awsum, being smaller (shorter) has more of a problem with that, when it happens. We're looking at an "Easy Walk" harness for him. The leash attachment is down between the front shoulders at the base of the neck on the chest so it will turn him, toward us, if he pulls rather than choking or putting pressure directly on his neck. We'll see how it goes at the next class when he gets the harness.

If he catches me off guard he can knock me down.
