I am very close to having to use an electric collar on larkely and it's a perfect place because it wouldn't require any great heavy duty shocking just a little jiggle might work

 he just cannot stop going after wandas food even though we do feed her inside a crate with a door just slightly open so she can get in but he is bugging her and she snaps at him she has bitten him yesterday his lip his lip was bleeding and it's only a matter of time before they battle it out so in order to stop the battle from starting see he's over there now checking it out all the time yeah so stop the battle before it starts thinking the electric collar would just a little bit of a ZAP to it might discourage him from going after her food.

it's the kind of thing where you use your expertise to stop a bigger event from happening and I can't help but compare that to the day so long ago when I stopped a fight from happening by taking a hold  of various parts of larcky when he was a little baby a little baby of still 130 lbs but a little baby and I at one point grabbed his ear 

so there were people online who turned that into how abusive I was of my animals and that turned into be a horror show thank you very much ----but I broke up a potential dog fight by doing so and it was my experience with dogs and dog fights that enabled me to do that ----for which I got no credit--- I got blamed for being abusive but now that people have seen a few dog fights around here lately and people are grabbing anything they can get ahold of and dragging dogs around by a leg and stuff like that you can see that if you can stop a dog fight before it starts you're way ahead of the game 

 that's what I would have to do with this electric collar which is a very very touchy thing to do and certainly electric collars do an awful lot of damage and people that are not used to using them and I'm certainly not used to using it but I can see if I could just have a little ZAP when his nose hits that dish of hers that he would blame the dish and not me and that would be a good thing so that may happen I've got it plugged in and we'll try again tomorrow so that's the excitement of the day

 

other than trying to go maybe get some hay that's the excitement of the day I hope.....  we do have a rehab place to go to rainbow in Peabody very active place the very funny lady who runs the show with a lot of volume and a license plate that says K9...  so I'll see you at mail call and on we go
