WHY NEUTER A LOVELY MALE DOG? LAST NIGHT'S MAIL CALL WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE.... STITCH WAS HERE.. A BEAUTIFUL HARLEQUIN DOG... JIMINEY'S BROTHER. AND HE WAS IN THE HOUSE ALL AFTERNOON WITH ONLY A GRUMBLE FROM BENTLEY----- COMES THE 5PM MAIL CALL AND SOME ONE SAID ? ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE JIMINEY IN FOR MAIL CALL? .. A QUICK DECISION BASED ON YOU CP'S LIKE ACTIVITY.... AND BOTH STITCH AND JIMINEY HAVE BEEN NEUTERED.... BUT ARE STILL YOUNG MALES.. I DECIDED TO GO FOR IT AND LET HIM IN.
I NEVER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT IF HE HAD NOT BEEN NEUTERED. THE OTHER POSITIVE THING WAS JANINE WAS HERE IN TH KITCHEN SO IF THEY GOT GOING, SHE COULD HELP BREAK IT UP.
COULD HAVE BEEN THE WORLDS BIGGEST ON CAMERA DOG FIGHT. IT WAS A GAMBLE
IF YOU WATCHED, IT WAS TOUCH AND GO AS I MADE SURE SOMEONE WAS GIVING ATTENTION TO BOTH.. I KEPT CLOSE TABS ON BOTH AND WHEN STITCH LEFT I COULD BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF.
I WILL STRUGGLE TO LEAVE HUMAN COMPARISONS OUT OF THIS, BUT YOUNG MALE DOGS THAT ARE NOT NEUTERED HAVE A SPLIT SECOND "HAIR TRIGGER" WHICH IS OFTEN PRECEEDED BY A SPLIT SECOND FROZEN STARE.
HOW DOES THIS PERTAIN TO SERVICE DOG TRAINING....???
YOU ALL THOUGHT DOLORES, OUR ATTRACTIVE MANNEQUIN STANDING BY TEH GATE WAS JUST A USELESS PIECE OF ART WORK?????? PERSONALLY I NEVER GET USED TO SEEING IT AND DO A MENTAL DOUBLE TAKE EVERY TIME.... BUT THE DOGS GET USED TO IT.. SO WHEN THEY SEE ONE POISED IN A STORE WINDOW, THEY DON'T ASSUME IT IS ABOTU TO ATTACK. IN OUR HISTORY WE HAVE HAD A CARDBOARD
JOHN KERRY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT HE GOT PERMANTLY BENT. WE TRIED TO REPLACE HIM WITH THE CARDBOARD 3 STOOGES BUT EVEN HIDDEN BEHIND A SOFA IT WAS EVIDENT THEY WERE MINUS THE BOTTOMN HALF. AND LACKED REQALITY.. I LEARNED THAT THIS FROZEN STATE WAS A PROBLEM IN DOG TRAINING SO I OPTED TO BUY A PROPER MANNEQUIN.. THERER ARE CHEAP ONES....ONE DID ARRIVE FOR MY TWIN TEEN AGE NEPHEWS TO ASSEMBLE DURING ONE MAIL CALL LONG AGO.. IT WAS FUN TO WATCH THE BOYS RUNNING AROUND WITH AN ODD ARM OR LEG. BUT THEY DID FINALLY GET DELORES ASSEMBLED AND SHE NOW STANDS B Y THE DRIVEWAY.
THIS IS ALSO WHY THERE IS A ROCKING HORSE IN THE ARENA... EVERYBODY HAS SEEN THIOSE HORSES INTHE MALLS THAT YOU PUT QUARTERS IN SO KIDS CAN RIDE THEM.. WELL.. BEFORE WE HAD THAT FOR DOGS TO GET USED TO, I SPENT MANY HOURS WAITING FOR A PUP TO GO SMELL TEH BUTT OF TEH BEAST INTHE MALL. THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOT MOVING MADE PUPS TERRIFIED IT WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK.
SO THERE IS ANOTHER WHAT DOES SERVICE DOG TRAINING INVOLVE???
-------
THE OTEHR VERY INTERESTING FACT ( TO ME) WAS TEH BROTHERS JIMINEY ANBD STITCH WERE TOTALLY DIFFERENT STRUCTURE.. JIMINEY IS THE MORE LITHE.. WHERE STITCH THE SOLID BRICK. THERI MOTHER SIZZLE IS LIKE JIMINEY... SO IS TEH FATHER..
THE HARLS IN GENERAL ARE HEAVIER BONED THAN THE BROWN BLOODLINES NONE OF TEH HARL BLOODLINES ARE THE SHAPE OF VERY TALL " SHOW DOGS" LIKE THE BROWN DANES.. WHEN I BEGAN SDP I AVOIDED THE TALL AND WENT FOR THE 32"
AS IDEAL SIZE...
THERE ARE MANY NEW CAMERA PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE INFLUENCE GEORGE BUSH's CROTCH HAD ON SDP.
I NOTICED IN A PHOTO OF GEORGE BUSH THAT HIS HANDS HUNG AT A LEVEL WITH HIS "INSEAM" SINCE THIS WAS WHERE HE WOULD LIKE A DOG'S HANDLE TO BE FOR BALANCE, I THEN DECIDED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS THE MOST COMMON man's INSEAM???? OFF TO COSTCO, AND THEIR PILES OF BLUE JEANS --- THE PILE OF 32" HAD MANY MORE THAN THE OTHER SIZES.
COUPLE THAT WITH TEH AMISH SAYING THAT A GOOD WORKING ANIMAL ( OR MAN) WILL HAVE LEG 1/2 THEIR HEIGHT. ( A FOOTBALL PLAYER VS A BASKETBALLPLAYER)
PUT HTOSE 2 THINGS TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE BENTLEY 32" TALL WITH A 16" LEG.

sliding back to neutering.... TO HAVE A N ENTIRE MALE DOG IN PUBLIC NEEDS CONSTANT ATTENTION.. EVEN GOOD OLE BENTLEY COULD BE CHALLANGED BY ANOTHER MALE--- AND WOULD WILLINGLY JOIN IN THE FIGHT. HOWEVER WHEN IT IS OVER, IT IS THE BIGGEST DOG WHICH WILL BE BLAMED. I AM PRETTY CONFIDENT BENTLEY WOULD NOT START ANYTHING THAT AT LEAST STAYED 10 FEET AWAY FROM HIM...BUT TO SOME DEGREE AN UNNEUTERED MALE DOG IS A LOADED GUN.
----
SPEAKING OF GUNS..... HANDS UP FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO SIGN UP FOR TEACHING NOW... YOU WILL GIVEN PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT ALONG WITH A GUN AND TARGET LESSONS. TO CONCIEVE OF TEACHERS BEING UNDERPAID IS CRIMINAL...
INSTEAD OF OVERWORKING THE CONCEPT OF MINIMUM WAGE, HOW ABOUT TACKLING THE CONCEPT OF MAXIMUM WAGE..
? FINLAND? ALL FINES OF ANY KIND ARE ADJUSTED TO THE INCOME. THAT WOUOLD MAKE A SPEEDING TICKET TO SOME HERE WORTH $250000.. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME
