3 available puppies on the ground right now that I so want from a couple different breeders I've been talking to. 2 older pups and 1 a few weeks old. Arghhhh! Why can I no has puppy now?
It's so gross out, all I want to do is sleep. But thanks to puppy actually happening, I have to work. *lesigh*.
Also I feel my 'must have a girl' attitude caving, at this point I just want a darn puppy, lol.
Is she at least using it as a marker? My personal pet peeve is pointing it like a remote control to try to get their attention..."Oh, you're looking over there and not paying attention" *point clicker CLICK CLICK CLICK* HOW ABOUT NOW?!?!
The stupid screen door needs to be replaced. I almost got stung by a bee that came in through where the last tenants broke the glass on the doggone door. Not sure why its not replaced yet, guess we'll be doing it. Thankfully, Piglet ate the bee that was trying to kill me (I am severely allergic and a bee sting requires an epi pen for me). I am annoyed.

It is a marker but its not signifying anything really. The reason she thinks its working is she is using it with two trained dogs. Like sit, click, down, click, etc. She's ruining the significance without ever rewarding.
That said, yeah I have several of those too. It's my attention getter!
Eh....I need to be a little more stable before I get one. I am getting pretty sure about breed and breeder, but timing needs to be better. I'm purchasing a house soon and that's the main goal. Goal #2 is now to get a storm shelter so that's eating some more funds. Then we will get puppy. Summer and Mia are both in a few classes at a time so that's a big expense/time suck. I don't want to shortchange the girls I already have.
He was very stressed by the sheep and pretty much ran around throwing calming signals for the entire test (sniffing around and eating poop). He did some pushing around here and there, but was not confident around the sheep at all. He has the instinct, just needs to get a little driveyer towards them. Trainer was very hopeful, I was just a little bummed; I thought he'd do a lot better than Frag, but I had it the other way around I guess! We're going to go back in another month or two for another instinct test and the trainer doesn't think he'll have a problem then and will be a lot more comfortable with it. We ended on a good note, and he was ok when they weren't looking at him, lol, I just thought he'd be a little more gungho. So not terrible or anything, just surprising!
I was in a clean everything mood. Stopped and talked in the phone a few minutes and now can not get back into it. So half the house is clean. . . Maybe lol. That's close enough for now. Really thinking of hiring a maid.
