I can’t seem to get her to understand that she will be fed twice a day, every day.

I really feel like both my dogs and I are connected, Delilah is doing really well on her walks, returning when I call and for the most part sticking close. When we are off leash I usually let them pick the trail and if for some reason they want to go somewhere I don’t all I usually have to say is we’re going this way.

I wish all people understood what their relationships with their dog was supposed to be like.

But if that’s the case how come I still end up banging my head against the wall on a daily basis? 😉

The best moments are when it feels like we are a team. Not just on the agility course, but in real-life situations. Such as when on a walk and she chooses to look at me instead of dashing forward to greet another dog. Or when I see her ears go back and I distract her before she gets too freaked out. Luckily these instances happen more frequently these days.

Even when you’re in sync, sometimes the connection needs a tune-up. 🙂

People call us both aloof. We’re both good with that! 🙂

Wonderful distinguishing the barks and their reason; I know each hound’s bay and can tell people who it is, if they are playing or dang, in distress!

I’m glad I got mostly As. the Daddy just scored a solid list of Bs and you’ve achieved in one post what 5 years of my nagging couldn’t, so thanks for that!

It’s funny, we were just talking last night about how Koly & Fe have very distinctive barks depending on what they want. Avery asked why I was ignoring Kolchak as he barked last night. I replied that he was “pestering me for a cookie; you don’t respond to bad behavior. He can have a cookie when he knocks it off.” Avery thought I was nuts and went to let them outside (what he thought they wanted). Kol wouldn’t even go out in the yard, but he stood under the treat jar and barked some more. Duh, his “outside” bark is throatier and more urgent.

Thanks for the shout out. In positive news, I haven’t been mauled by a spider monkey in two weeks! A combination of your Kong trick and wildly varying meal times has worked wonders for my demanding little monkey.

I was an “A” student in high school, but I’m a “B” student here. (Or worse.)
