Puppy school

Last night was the first night of puppy school for Nicki. To be honest, I thought it would be a drag, but I agreed to go with Ali to check it out. It’s a very nice facility they have down here. As we parked I immediately spotted a full size car with religious messages on all four doors and a mini billboard with more religious statements mounted on the trunk lid. Oh boy….

It was really funny seeing how Nicki reacted to the dogs. Initially she was terrified, but once we got into the training room she wanted to be buddies with everyone. It turns out the owner of the pope mobile was a senile old lady that was in our class. She had a huge cross around her neck and looked to be at least 85. During the evening during the different training exercises, she would totally ignore the instructions the trainer gave her. The trainer said to her at least 10 times, tell the dog LET’s GO. Instead she would be saying SIT and HEEL to the dog. She acted confused all night. The trainer had one of his dogs there. It was really amazing to see how obedient it was. I couldn’t help thinking that a little puppy training mentality applied to kids today would go a long way.

As we left we saw the old lady get into her rolling church and putt away. Just this one class already opened our eyes to how we need to change some of the things we do with the puppy. She actually seemed to be a little better with some of her bad habits already.

I recently finished the Charles Barkley book, “I may be wrong, but I doubt it” I was somewhat disappointed in it. Parts of it were interesting, but more of it was repetitive and boring. It’s up for sale on HALF.com under my account if you want to check it out. 🙂

I am running my work cam through different software. It allows you to do silly things to the image. Exciting eh?

I just saw a trailer for the upcoming Matrix sequel. Incredible. It looks FANTASTIC. I can hardly wait.
