I've always chuckled whenever I see "Spotakiss" on my screen. Love that name.
Einstein's been shaved so he's not nearly as "Einstein" as he was. But, unlike Samson (of Samson & Delilah fame) he has not gotten weaker from his haircut. 30-45 minutes of walking at least once a day is making him much more amenable to cooperating.
I also started giving him oatmeal in the morning (I heard it was good for skin -- although I always thought you were supposed to put it in your bath). He loves it! First time I made it I added some ice cubes to cool it down. Second time, I didn't -- I thought it had cooled off after it was through in the microwave. He took a bite and turned around to me and started barking! It was hilarious. He was pissed cause it was too hot. I just laughed and told him to let it cool. I do not want to get into the trap of cooling his food off every morning.
