The Last Time We Give Toby a Haircut!!

 Toby's hair was getting long so I decided it was time for a trim.  Unfortunately, Toby allowed me to trim (with scissors) one side then started screaming, kicking, and spitting so I couldn't finish.
 Greg got out the electric cutter and tried to finish the job.  Once again, Toby started throwing a huge fit and Greg was only able to cut chunks of hair in random spots.  Instead of looking like someone stopped in the middle of a haircut, now it looked like Toby himself got out the clippers!
 After MANY MANY hours, hair scattered across 3 floors of the house, many treats and punishments given, tempers lost by all involved, here is the final result.
He looks like a cancer patient starting chemo!  Everyone at my work had a good laugh at our lovely haircutting ability but Toby doesn't seem to mind it.  He's just glad that it's done and we are not going to be cutting his hair for a long, long time.

Circus Peanut Test

I saw a video of this test on YouTube so I decided I wanted to try it on Toby. 

This is a test to see if Toby can resist the candy until I come back and I will give him another one.

Toby loves Circus Peanuts so I did those instead of marshmallows.  I only did the test for about 1 minute instead of 5 minutes and maybe the outcome would have been different if I had gone on longer, but anyways here it is.
