some very sad news from cesar milan

Cesar Millan, all his family and friends, his staff and volunteers, and dog lovers all around the world today will mourn the passing of one of the most loyal, trusting, well-balanced, and influential pit bull ambassadors the world has ever known. Daddy, Cesar's longtime friend and partner in canine rehabilitation, died peacefully surrounded by family on Friday the 19th of February. He was sixteen years old.

He lived each day of those sixteen years happy and fulfilled as Cesar's right-hand-"man," helping to shape the behavior of entire generations of dogs by showing them the way to balance. He stood as champion for calm-submissive pit bulls everywhere, and was instrumental in helping to repair their image as violent, savage, uncontrollable beasts. He successfully battled cancer and weathered chemotherapy, and even got the opportunity to present at the 56th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards!

His name is now added to that honorable roster of dogs gone by whose influence is still felt today, and which includes some of Cesar's beloved childhood heroes: "Rin-Tin-Tin." "Lassie." ... "Daddy."

He has been immortalized by Dog Whisperer fans in all mediums, from painting, to photographs, to charcoal drawings and papier-mâché sculpture. And, of course, he lives on in his work, reflected in the balance and calm-submission of his protégé Junior, the countless animals to whom he was a positive role model, and in the hearts and minds of everyone who knew him as a calm, sweet, and mellow example of a widely misunderstood breed.

In Loving Memory.

You're a smart girl, right? Just set photobucket to resize your photos to 480x640 when uploading. Then, bracket the link with the thingees. I know you can do it.

Thanks for the pics. :thumbup:

OK, not the greatest pics but here's a few.

Our friends' dog Conan came to stay with us for a few days while they were out of town.



Unfortunately, I don't think Conan had very good time this visit. :(

He's an only dog and his family dotes on him, of course.
At our house, he's part of the pack and our dogs treat him like he ranks pretty low. :eh:
He and Penny love to play together but she still picks on him.



Usually I try to spend as much time as I can playing with him but since I was sick all last week, I really wasn't up to much. Conan sort of got neglected. :oops:
At least compared to what he's used to!

But sick or not, Penny makes sure she gets plenty of lovey time! When I felt rotten, she would jump on the bed and cuddle with me.

No such problems with Gracie. If nothing else, she LOVES the pack!

Your inner Cesar is correct.
Having been owned by several dogs since I was 5 years old, it frustrates me to be around a dog with so little training.
Conan is our friends' first puppy. For many years they had a wonderful sheltie named Elmo that we adored and loved having him come stay with us. But Elmo was 4 years old when they adopted him and had impeccable manners. He would also tear around and play with Pete and Django, making for some great times together. But sadly, he died about 3 years ago.

These friends have often asked my advice about Conan, from the time they first got him. But I think they find it hard to train him. I understand in a way. Like I said, he's their first puppy and I don't think they realized how much work is involved when you get a little guy. :crazy:

yesterday on my walk, a friend came with me and brought her golden, Valen...very sweet dog but a little touched...he couldn't be trained to be a service dog :(

anyway, he is a really friendly dog...loves dogs, people, dogs and people! :P

and norm? wanted nothing to do with him...too many sniffs on the walk...sniffs are the most important thing in the little guy's life!

Penny is so dang sociable that it's something of a problem when we go to Obedience class every week. She wants to play with all the other dogs and ask their people for treats! :roll:

I do have the computer aptitude of a walnut. It does work....just by the time I realize I have to re-size, I've already found it to be a cumbersome task so I take the easy route, one I know works.
