If nothing else, the girl dog should walk away with the 'perfect attendance' certificate next Saturday when she graduates from beginner obedience class. Jody and I on the other hand, expect to walk away with nothing but the recognition that we can finish something that the girl dog starts, not that she really had any say in the matter, but you know what I mean. We were the only ones in the class today, and I think the biggest part of that is because we are not embarrassed to admit that, no, as a matter of fact we have not worked on the commands we learned last week. We are failures and obviously cannot be trained. The girl dog, on the other hand, will 'sit' on command if it means that she will get a yummy reward, but otherwise, she is not at all interested. Her overwhelming disinterest in the whole procedure is readily apparent in this photo, but I can guarantee you that her tummy was full; when she got tired of one treat, the trainer would break open a bag of something new, etc., etc., etc. She singlehandedly turned the training treat aisle at the Georgetown PetSmart into her own private smorgasbord, thank you very much. All the other passers-by were jealous and were lining up for autographs. One little bitch even had the nerve to ask if she could do a 'selfie'. A sheltie-selfie. After that, the little girl dog was pretty much done, and she retired to the limo to be chauffeured home.Cats, cats, cats. It seems we now have two regular cats, Barney and Barnietta. One orange (Barney) and the other one is grey. We think Barnietta is pregnant, and has quite an appetite. So, that is causing a little bit of chaos in the feeding routines of cats, possums and raccoons.
It is interesting on the edge of nowhere.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, AWARDS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
