So... here's how my hands are healing:

Yeah, I guess it looks gross, but they feel way better than they did even a couple days ago.  The skin on the ring finger feels like jerky.

So, also, today was Rudy's second training session with his personal trainer.  She remarked how big he had gotten in a week.  He really has grown.  His neck and chest are getting thicker and more muscular, and he's taller too.

So, I didn't do so hot with the leash training, but Rudy did fine.  He had been very mellow all day, and he got pooped really before our session was over.  That is unlike him.  He always has had more stamina than us, and all of a sudden he doesn't have that anymore.  Of course, he got crazy right after the trainer left.  The FP and Rudy played tug of war with the new monkey toy that I just bought several hours ago, and Rudy killed the monkey.  He tore the squeaker out and killed the squeaker.  Here he is earlier today when he went into his crate to nap.  I was washing his blanket and some of his toys, so don't get all preachy about how he has to lay on the plastic with no toys... he willingly went in there.

 He looks huge.  He looks like a full grown dog in this last picture.


Here he is, violating the corpse of the short lived monkey toy, while poor honey bunny can only watch, paralyzed with fear.

Anyone want a vicious puppy before I put him up on craigslist?
