By-tor and The Snow Dog

December 28th, 2009 2 comments

snowboy2snowdog3snowdog4snowboy1.framed Here’s Roman at 9 months. He reminds me this old Rush classic. Neil Peart wrote lyrics after observing his friend’s dogs:

“By-Tor And The Snow Dog”

Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight
The netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light
The sign of Eth is rising in the air

By-Tor, knight of darkness
Centurion of evil, devil’s prince

Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight
His nemesis is waiting at the gate
The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate

By-Tor and the Snow Dog
Square for battle, let the fray begin

The battle’s over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor, in defeat, retreats to Hell

Snow Dog is victorious
The land of the Overworld is saved again

The “Run Like A Dog” Workout

December 7th, 2009 5 comments

I found this workout in my latest issue of Runner’s World. Roman and I do this several times a day. For anyone looking to shed a few of those upcoming extra holiday pounds, it’s sure to work.
*Walk 8 seconds*Trot 4 seconds*Stop.Sniff*Sprint 7 seconds*Freeze*Walk 5 seconds in any direction but forward*Stare 9 seconds*Lunge at rabbit*Double back, walk 3 seconds*Urinate*Repeat 6 times* Collapse on rug.  The only part that Roman doesn’t do is the collapse on rug……Enjoy!!!! Rita

A True Working Dog

November 19th, 2009 5 comments

While some shepherds spend their days lounging around, Roman likes to work. We’re having new carpet installed in two bedrooms and he decided to help me tear out the old stuff. I actually got the job done in half the time and only had to pay him a few biscuits! I took these pics w/ my cell phone…not Chris’s camera..sorry.

Working under the baseboard heat.
