APRIL 27 2014

I ALWAYS SAID OUR DOG HOUSES WERE SO NICE YOU COULD SLEEP IN ONE-- SO LAST  NIGHT  I DID-- THE NUTT HOUSE.  I DON'T KNOW WHICH DOG WAS BARKING FOR SO LONG.. BUT AT 1AM I WENT OUT... WITH MY TRUSTY CHICKEN SELECTION BOOK AND CP SUGGESTIONS  AND  SNOOZED AWAY

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY BRACELET THINKS OF THAT-- IT SAYS I GOT 3 HOURS SLEEP... I DON'T KNOW AS I AGREE.. BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO UPSET MY PHONE OR THE CAR.... I KNOW THAT SIRI WOMAN IS TELLING ALL....

I DID CHANGE THE RADIO STATION FROM A RATTLE BANG STATION TO SOME  SOOTHING CLASSICAL

*******
ALL OF  YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE IN ON THE CHICKEN PROJECT..... I THINK...

5 EACH OF.....
 ORPINGTON
WHITE LEGHORN
WHITE ROCK
SILVER LACED WYANDOTTE
CALIFORNIA WHITE ( HAS BLACK SPOTS  HARLEQUIN STYLE)
CUCKOO MARAN ( DARK BROWN EGGS)
AMERAUCANA ) GREEN,BLUE EGGS)  ( 10 OF THESE)
LIGHT BRAHMA 
BLACK JERSEY GIANT
SILVER LACKENVELDER
ALL THOSE ARE AS FEMALES-- WITH A 90% CORRECT SEXING

WHITE CRESTED POLISH****** THE ONLY ONE WHICH IS SOLD "STRAIGHT RUN"  I.E.  COULD BE 1/2 ROOSTERS

SHOULD GIVE US AN INTERESTING COLLECTION..  THEY WILL NOT ALL MAKE IT TO EGG LAYING  -- WE WILL LOOSE  A FEW...  BUT HOPEFULLY MOST  WILL SURVIVE
***

AND THE OTHER THING THAT KEPT ME ENTERTAINED ALL NIGHT WAS THE CONCEPT "SIT DOWN"
AND THE IDEA THAT SLOPPY CONVERSATION WITH PUPS IS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE....
WE  USE VERY FEW COMMANDS  SO FOR HEAVENS SAKE USE THEM CORRECTLY.

I GET A KICK OUT OF TELLING A DOG TO "BRACE"  WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET OUT OF A CHAIR.. 
 YOU HAVE ALREADY TOLD THE DOG TO WHOA-- MEANING STAND STILL--  AND Y OU HAVE HOLD OF HIS HARNESS... DO YOU THINK THAT DOG DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?  MORE WHOA'S MIGHT BE NEEDED WHEN THEY ARE YOUNG...

DOWN MEANS LIE DOWN-- COLLAPSE--ETC
SIT DOWN MEANS WHAT???

WALKING ALONG- A LITTLE TOO FAST, GETTING AHEAD ..  YOU MEAN WALK WITH ME
SLOW DOWN-- IS OVER USE OF THE DOWN BIT AGAIN...
IF YOU SAY "BACK" IT IS NUTTY TO THE DOG... YOU WANT ME TO WALK BACKWARDS???
YOU MEAN RELATIVE TO ME MOVE BACK-- AND THAT IS BEYOND REALITY.

THINGS LIKE THAT
WE ARE TEACHING CONVERSATION TO ACCOMPLISH A SKILL-- 
WE ARE NOT TEACHING INDIVIDUAL TRICKS...
BEST DOGS LEARN TO THINK.... THAT IS OUR GOAL

I KNOW WE HAVE A VIDEO OF EXACTLY THAT  WITH MEGAN AND A BLACK PUP  "DOIN THE ONE STEP "   WHERE TH PUP LOOKS UP AT HER AND CLEARLY SAYS    "I GOT IT !!  "

 I THINK IT WAS TEH WMUR TV VIDEO

 I WILL GO LOOK NOW.
