January 25, 2007. Caitlin is likely in South America now, enjoying her wonderful holiday. We haven't heard yet for sure though. This morning we are getting set to go to the park again for fetch. I have already eaten my breakfast and hey, it feels kind of good eating before 2:00 PM for a change. That's two days in a row.
Over on the park, I had a great day today. Tom and I played fetch by ourselves for about 20 minutes. Then 2 people arrived with their two dogs. I ran over to say hello and I didn’t jump or bark or get over-exuberant. It worked really great. The three of us romped and played and had a great time. Then a lady showed up with two more dogs, one bigger and one small little fluff ball. Well, I just had to go say hello to them too. The fluff ball turned out to be one I jumped on before.
This time the lady saw me coming and picked her little dog up. She told me to sit and I did. When she put the little dog down, this time I didn’t jump on him or her. I think I did really well today and Tom was petting me and complimenting me. I heard the lady say that she was amazed at how far I had progressed in training in only a few weeks.
Afterwards, it was time for some water and a car trip for Tom to get his skates sharpened. Tonight is hockey night and I will guard the truck really well tonight. After hockey we will go for another walk, not as long as last night because Tom will be tired.
Here's a batch of doggie jokes about different breeds that I borrowed from my trainers web site.
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Toy Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
Rottweiler: Make me.
Shi-tzu: Puh-leeze, dah-ling. Let the servants. . . .
Lab: Oh, me, me!!! Pleeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Can I?
Malamute: Let the Border collie do it. You can feed me while he's busy.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Doberman Pinscher: While it's dark, I'm going to sleep on the couch.
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Mastiff: Mastiffs are NOT afraid of the dark.
Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb.
Irish Wolfhound: Can somebody else do it? I've got this hangover....
Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there........
Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
Australian Shepherd: First I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?
Westie: Dogs do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs, I am not one of THEM, so the question is, how long will it be before I can expect my light?
Hound: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
