I DO GET 3 AND A HALF MINUTES EVERY MORNING TO WORK WITHTHE PUPS BEFOR LIFE GETS HECTIC, AND VANESSA TOOK THIS VIDEO... PLEASE NOTE THEY ARE NOT CLAWING ME UNMERCIFULLY AND SPILLING DOG FOOD IN MY SHOES
SO LIFE IS GETTING BETTER.
I HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED TEH FLY SWATTER FOR NOISE PURPOSES... MUCH THE SAME AS TEH WHIFFLE BAT OUTSIDE... SOMENONE SCREAMING AT TEHM WILL NOT WORK... BUT A DIFFERENT LOUD NOISE SHOULD HELP..
***
YESTERDAY A CP EMAILED ME THAT TOM WAS HITTING THE DONKEYS-- AND TEHY THOUGHT "BEATING TEH DONKEYS INN ANGER" WHICH CERTAINLY WAS NOT TRUE-- THOSE DONKEYS LOVE HIM-- HOWEVER THERE ARE 2 REASONS TO SMACK TEH DONKEYS WITH YOUR HAND.... ONE IS TO SWAT FLYS-- THE OTHER IS TO KEEP MO OR POCKETS IN THEIR OWN FOOD DISH...- IF YOU ARE STRIKING THEM WITH YOUR HAND, IT WILL BE AS UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU AS TEH DONKEY.... PICKING UP A STICK AND HITTING IN ANGER IS A WHOLE NEW THING... AND I DON'T THINK YOU WILL SEE THAT here at all...
banging that whiffle bat on the ground or fence making a big noise to startle-- and get aTTENTION IS VERY LEGITIMATE USE... HOWEVER-- EVERY TIME I SAY SOMETIHNG LIKE THAT ,,, I CAN THINK OF SITUATIONS WHERE TEH RULES MIGHT CHANGE--- LIKE BENTLEY AND WALTER HAVING HOLD OF EACH OTHER'S NECK... SO ALL RULES AND ADVISORIES ARE A 95% DEAL
SO PLEASE-- SPARE ME THE "BUT YOU SAID" EMAILS... .
*****
GETTTING THESE PUPS UNDER CONTROL AT FEED TIME IS GOING TO REQUIRE SOME EXTENSIVE TRAINING--- AND I DON'T YET KNOW WHAT THAT WILL BE, UNGTIL I GET INTOT HE SITUATION...
YESTERDAY TEH PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT THEY DID NOT GET LUNCH AND WERE INSANELY HUNGRY...
WHAT I MAY DO IS FEED TEHM BREAKFAST, THEN TRY AND FEED THEM SNACKS BY DISH.. I DUNNO
****
AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO OF ME FEEDING OUR PUPS.... , YOU TUBE FOLLOWED WITH ONE OF CAESAR MILAN--
IF I REDUCE ALL HIS BULL-ONEY TO THE BASICS-- HE DOES WHAT WE DO... #1 SNAP TEH LEASH TO STARTLE THEM INTO CORRECT POSITION/ MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. HE ALSO SAID THOSE PEOPLE WHO FORGIVE THEIR DOG'S BAD BEHAVIOR USUALLY PUT HUMAN "TRAITS" ON THEIR DOGS-- WHICH CAUSED ME TO THINK " HAVING A NICELY BEHAVED DOG IS SUCH A RELEIF FROM THE SOMETIMES NOT SO NICE HUMANS THAT ARE IN OUR LIVES ANYWAY" -- AND HE GOT INTO HIS SPEECH OF RULES LIMITS AND WHATEVER ELSE IT IS HE SAYS...
DISCIPLINE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE BRUTAL... BUT A LITTLE SCAREY MAYBE....
ANOTEHR RULE... YOU CAN TELL A DOG " NO" TWICE-- AND IF THERE IS NO CORRECT REACTION YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE ---OTHERWISE TEH "NO" IS JUST NOISE..
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO WILL THINK --- AND EMAIL ME-- THAT DISCIPLINE IS A TERRIBLE THING... WHILE AT TEH SAME TIME ADMIRING A WELL DISCIPLINED DOG---
there are alot-- a big ALOT --- of grandparents who offer me theri grandchildren so i can't be all that bad... well maybe....
**
SO IF YOU SEE AN INCREASE IN FLYSWATTER ACTIVITY- AT MY AGE-- FIGURE IT IS JUST AN EXTENSION OF MY ARM BECAUSE I CAN'T JUMP AND RUN QUITE LIKE I USED TO....
***
GWEN WILL BE AROUND TODAY ( I THINK) WE NEED TO WORK ON THANKSGIVING PLANS -- I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING FOR AN 8 BEDROOM HOUSE TO RENT FOR THAT WEEK.--- AND I DID FIND 2 FRIENDS WITH HUGE HICE ( PLURAL OF HOUSE) BUT I THINK I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.... ABOUT 20 PEOPLE IN ADDITION TO THE 10 OR 15 OF TEH CREW THAT WILL BE HERE BECAUSE WE CAN'T RUN THE PLACE WITHOUT A CREW--
SPINONI PACKAGES UP AN ENTIERE T'D MEAL FOR 10 IN A BIG BOX--- WITH 3 PIES.... SO IT JUST MEAND WE WILOL NEED 3 BOXES... BUT WHERE TO EAT THAT IS WARM AND DRY??? - AND WITH that number of people not only the "t day meal will be the problem but breakfast and dinner teh rest of the time--- tuesday to sunday.
and tehn there is ? projecting the football games onto a big screen somehow????-- that we might be able to do in teh chill of teh t tent---
