How funny.  I love that new name.  And obedience strike?  I think they may have sent that message to my girl. Gracie's doing the same thing and I never thought I'd see the day that she becomes the TOOT that she is right now.  Correction.  CERTIFIED TOOT!!!

Nope guys...I have figured it out!  Somehow my clan has gotten all of your guys manners!  I am having another day of serene quiet and relaxation!!!  Everyone is listening to every word I say and not once have I had to use the word "no"!!!  I am sure that they will give the good manners back soon, but I am enjoying them while they last... ;D!

Well, Bella's a couple weeks shy of 6 months, and until the last week or so, I didn't realize how stubborn she could be.  At ~70 pounds, it's not that easy to "make" her go outside, or come in, or go in her crate, or whatever she decides she doesn't want to do!  Talk about a little sh**!  Total adolescent testing... anyway, I can relate to the "unsaintle saint". LOL  ;)

It could be the full moon,but I'm siding toward the cooler weather,it seems to give them all a mind of their own.Or so they think.

But over all I can't complain too much.
Falkor starts obedience class on Sunday,and that should be real interesting.I have this week decided to try another in my many training collars to get a bit more control of him.He is a lot stronger that I expected,at probably around 75 lbs.and a crazy kanagroo when he wants to be.

I pulled out of my old bag a pinch collar that I got many years ago for my Rotti Bear,only used it once and never again.Bear was such a touchy feely guy that I didn't need much to get his attention.Very sensitive.

Falkor is just the opposite,and you practicaly have to clobber him over the head to get his attention.So I tried it at the park yesterday and it was like putting power sterring on him.It was wonderful. 

So I guess I will use it until he understands just what *heel* means and then go to a martingale.

Some how with 10 month olds and a strong self esteem,and confidence no matter how much they may want to please you,they can't help trying to please themselves. :P

Well, I think Zoey and Dolly stole some of those manners too! They are being unreasonably good all the time now! But I won't be fooled. I'm just waiting for them to do something really bad.  :o
