It's the Meet & Greet Blog party Hop!

My name is Jen.  I saw a blog party going on, and thought I would join in! In college, I majored in Psychology, with a strong interest in other things like Anthropology, Philosophy, and Creative Writing. I'm working as a library clerk, which is a good thing, because I wouldn't be able to afford all of the dog books that I read! My fiance, Jim, and I got our Doberman, Elka, in 2008.  She was born in May, she came home in July, and has been a wonderful facet of our lives since.  I've learned a lot about dogs and about dog training since then, and started this blog as a result.  I also have a Twitter of the same name if you want to hop on over there, @TheElkaAlmanac

  6. What a pretty pup Elka is. I would be *fascinated* to hear her say "OUT". We keep trying to teach Koly to seak, but so far, nothing!

  7. Oh, Elka is very talkative! I gather it's a feature of the breed, perhaps, but we've always encouraged it. If I can get her to talk rather than whine, it's a good deal!

    Interestingly, I can't get her to bark. She'll bark a single time if there's somebody on the porch or in the driveway, but that's it, which really is very good. But a single bark on command in other venues would be fun too.
