Oh My Gosh! Baxter, who we lovingly call "Orick" or "Hoover" is 16 months old. He will chase bugs, catch grasshoppers in mid flight and before I can rescue it he has it halfway digested. Then there are the pinecones, whirleygigs from the Maple trees, and his favorite of all is Acorns. Along with sticks leaves and anything else that comes into his path. Someone told me to teach him the "leave it" command. Well that is all I would be saying to him alllllllll day long. I have just resigned myself that he is a little vacuume with legs. Right now with 3 feet of snow life is somewhat ok outside, but when it starts to melt and he sees all that debris out there I know I am in for a world of trouble. I guess I will have to keep him on a leash in the yard until I am able to get it all cleaned up.
