Louie The Red Poodle – The Call of the Wild

Louie and The Call of the Wild — I’m learning about The Call of the Wild

Hello again. Louie the Red Poodle here with thoughts about a book called The Call of the Wild. Someone asked me what it was about dogs that I loved. I been thinking about it so much that my brain hurts. My mom, Michelle, knew something was on my mind–she’s kind of telepathic. So, she showed me a book called The Call of the Wild written by a man named Jack London. I was curious so Michelle agreed to read it to me.

Buck is a St Bernard and Scottish Shepard mix

On the cover of Classics Illustrated is this majestic mix of St. Bernard and Scottish Shepard. To the left he looks like his father and below like his mother. His name is Buck and Call of the Wild is his story.

I am touched by Buck’s spirit no matter what he looks like.

The Beginning – Buck Living Grand

Buck has a grand life. He was born and lives on a big estate in California. His life is more than comfortable and he is treated like a king. He can roam around the grounds, play with other dogs, or run with the horses any time he wants.

In the evenings he hangs with the Judge, his master, staying warm by the fire. Unlike me, it seems that he can do pretty much anything he wants. I get in trouble every time I surf the counter. That is if I get caught.

As far as it goes, Buck has everything he could possibly want. But, the story is about the “survival of the fittest” so…

Okay, now I’m scared because that means bad things are going to happen.

I’ll be back with more. In the meantime you can pick up a copy at Amazon.

PS It’s also a story about love.

The Red Poodle – Dog Agility Training Tip

Louie's Outspoken World Views — Dog Agility Training Tip from Louie

This is Louie, The Red Poodle, here with a dog agility training tip. Patience is the key. After a few frustrating sessions, I believe I had a breakthrough yesterday in my agility class. I might look a little sad in my photo, but I’m not. I’m just wiped out. Really, really tired. I want my mom to help me into bed, but she won’t. She insists that I make it on my own. After all, I am learning to jump. The class is 50 minutes of non-stop movement. Jumping over things, running up and over other things, and blindly dashing through something that looks like a long tunnel. I admit I was kinda afraid at first, but the nice piece of chicken I was offered was irresistible.

The Red Poodle – I’m A Standard Poodle

Just for the record, I’m a standard poodle. A red one at that. We come in all sizes, toy, miniature, teacup, etc. I think being a standard makes it a little harder to shine in my agility class. Plus I’m only 14 months old and all legs. I loose control a lot. But, I’m competitive and now that I understand better what this agility thing is all about I won’t give up.

Like I said, I think I had a breakthrough. More about that after I complain a little more. So, I’m a very sociable guy. As a matter of fact there isn’t a dog I don’t like–some people no so much if they are mean to animals and don’t believe in climate control. But I want every dog and cat to be my friend. And I do enjoy being admired. Anyway, as I was saying, I like introducing myself to the other pooches and tussling around a bit. Well it seems like that’s not what agility is about. My mom showed me this video and something clicked for me. Take a look at it here. I wanna beat this guy. By the way, I train at the http://zoomroomonline.com. Oh, and you can get agility equipment at Amazon
