How can you stay mad at a fuzzy Airedale face? So says Ruby. Tilly is still very much in trouble by me, but I have also forgiven her…

The dogs were angelic today, very very good. Just a few barks, that’s all. Matilda actually spent about three hours sleeping by herself on the couch.

I was talking with someone today about having a trainer come in for some of their unpleasant behavior, but it’s hard to think they need it sometimes! Mike and I have talked about it before, but I always conclue that we need to commit to being consistent and clear with them %100 of the time before I’m going to pay someone to tell me the same thing.

They’re like children (who don’t speak english). Everything they do I know is just a reflection of how we communicate with them. (if we get emotional and scream at them, they just keep on barking.) I try to remember that I need to be patient and crystal clear with them. And I need to remember to keep Tilly OUT of our bedroom unsupervised! That’s her snackin’ place….
