Eliot is not as bad as Al Capone but a piece of barbed wire almost hurt his eyes. We've thought about coats, now we have to think about helmets with protection glasses...
 
 
 

Dog    vs.    Master

Dog loves speaking, commenting on life and giving his viewpoint on anything worth it - and many things are worth it ...
He can growl or whine, but what he favours most is barking,  or should we say : BARKING.
The most common (and of the utmost importance) reasons are :



Master loves speaking, commenting on life and giving her viewpoint on anything worth it as well- and many things are worth it ...
But the problem is that Master has a Master's brain and ears that prefers the Master's comments and viewpoints instead of the Dog's.
The most common (and of gradual importance) reactions are :

Reactions

- Just pretend Dog is not barking

-Do what can stop the barking

- Get nervous


- Shout

- Act - use the V.E.W.
Reactions' reactions

- Dog thinks Master is deaf, barks louder

- Dog is happy, Master feels like a slave but Master's ears are happy too
- Nervousness makes Dog nervous : more barking
- Great ! Let's bark together !


- Noooooooo !



The V.E.W. : the Very Effective Weapon !
exists in 2 sizes



Step 1 : Load it
Step 2 : keep it handy (not so easy)
Step 3 : Be brave and forget you've ever had an ego once - the neighbours are watching.
Step 4 : Aim at Dog, don't miss it



Step 1 : Grab it
Step 2 : Shake it hard (remember you were a monkey once - monkeys love shaking things, don't they ?)
Step 3 : Utter the magic formula
"I gonna open the BOTTLE"
Step 4 : Enjoy the sound of silence !





PS : No dog was harmed in the process ...
Just a bit drenched ...

A few days ago we left our Little Siberia to go south to Narbonne.

We went there to watch a lure coursing race.
A first time for us and for our pack !

It was organized by the Cynodrome de Perpignan.
