Murphy on the ride home

During the 5 hour car ride home he was an angel. He allowed us to put on his Kurgo Tru Fit Harness without any fuss. This was perfect for keeping him safe during the ride and still allowing me to cuddle next to him on the back seat while dad did the driving. This was the first time I had the opportunity to try out the Kurgo harness and I have to say I was very impressed. The matching Wander Leash came in handy because we had to stop every hour to allow Murphy to relieve himself. The fact that you can unclip the harness from the car seat belt and clip on the Wander Leash made this very easy and very safe for Murphy. Even though Murphy is too young to know how to walk on a leash the fact that we always had him under control when stopping next to bury roads and highways was a blessing.

Another product we tried out was the Kurgo Wander Bowl. It is priced a bit higher than other travel bowls we sell, but we found this one does not leak at all whereas the two other travel bowls we tested leaked within a few minutes. I will not name them since we will not continue to sell them! I guess you do get what you pay for.

So far Murphy has been settling in to life at Brown Dog Treasures with ease. He took well to the crate training and has had less than a hand full of accidents right near the kitchen door. He already knows where he should do his business, sometimes Mom and Dad are just too slow in getting him out there!

We are encountering one common problem. On day 3 Murphy seemed to get the idea that humans were chew toys! We have had quite a hard time trying to convince him that he can not tear pants legs, jump and nip at us. Yes, we know all the usual corrections. We were quite  successful in breaking Guinness of this habit. We have even helped friends and neighbors overcome this problem, but for some reason Murphy is proving to be much more difficult in this area than any other pup we have encountered.

We are going to consult a professional trainer for advice on this and we will pass on any information to you. In the next several weeks we will be reviewing puppy training techniques. So if you need some advice on training your pup check back with us daily.

As the months have passed, we began to focus on all the joyfull times we spent with Guinness. We talked about how our business started and how Guinness used to try out all the toys, try on all the costumes and try to open all the new deliveries before our staff could get to them. We realized what Brown Dog Treasures needed again was a brown dog! I don’t think Guinness would have wanted it any other way.

We are pleased to announce that we will be adding a new member to our family on Saturday, June 5th.  Our new baby boy’s name will be Murphy.  We will record our trip to Endless Mt Labs in PA. Please join us on Facebook where you will see the first photos and videos of Murphy.

Over the next few months we will share with you our attempts at housebreaking and basic training. It has been 13 years since we last attempted this so we are a bit rusty at it! Those of you who are planning to or have recently become puppy parents, we would appreciate your input.

Something tells me we are going to have our hands full!

As many of you may already know our specialty web site Fenway Dog opened early this year. Shortly after pitcher and catchers reported to spring training down in Ft Meyers, we added a fan page. It included some video footage of the Red Sox nation in Ft. Meyers, as well as some links related to travel, restaurants, sports bars and other fan centered information.

We also decided to make our 2004 and 2007 World Series Champion Commemorative Dog Tees available at tremendous markdowns (before they are all gone), along with some video replays of the greatest moments in Red Sox history.

That’s when all heck broke loose! We were so overwhelmed with the demand for Red Sox dog items that we promply ran out of inventory!  With Opening Day upon us that was just not acceptable!

I am happy to say that Fenway Dog (and Brown Dog Treasures where all items in our catalogue are available) are completely stocked with everything a Sox fan (and their dog) could want for the coming season.

Stop by and visit and Yankee fans…don’t get mad your blog and fan pages are on the way.
