So far, it doesn't seem to be achieving the desired behaviour modifications.

What would Mal say? "I aim to misbehave."

DJ, unless your pooch continues to be mouth-open after the desired activity, I'm going to guess that she is laughing.

A British study (which I can't find at the mo) recently detailed this behavior in a number of different breeds.

Make sure there are no other attendant symptoms like disorientation, lethargy or disturbed eating/eliminating/sleeping patterns.

If you are also sure she has adequate water (and is drinking it, which might not happen unless you are around), then it should be okay.

sj, that is atrocious.

bonny, I am seriously impressed by how calm you managed to remain.

First day of training with new group went well, no major mishaps. No minor mishaps, either, except that someone had to be driven to an urgent last minute court thingy, of the kind that gets a warrant put out if you don't show up. But it all worked out just fine.

I am totally wiped. Just had better-than-brie on ciabatta, and some carrot sticks, and next up? Moar cookie dough. That's what's UP.

Watching VM. Still kind of bummed about Troy Vandergraff turning out to be a jerk.

Oh my god, me too!!! But then comes Deputy Leo, who I love.

I know a woman who gives punishment BJs. Not, like, with teeth or anything. Regular BJs. As punishment.

But... that makes no sense! Is she unaware that men like them, even if she doesn't? Or is she perhaps doing that instead of sex, in the mistaken assumption that it's not as good if they don't have to do all the work?

Oh yeah, love Leo. Even if he's just a little old and creepy.

"Wang Chung or I'll kick your ass!"

What if the guy in question gets blow jobs anyway? What should I get him for Valentine's Day then?

asshook?

My bedside table looks like that of a senior citizen. Or, a very sick 36 year old. Prednisone, albuterol inhaler, azithromycin, and cough syrup with codiene.

My mother yelled at me when I told her I was considering going to work tomorrow.

(((Aims))). Listen to your mother this time.

Thanks, smonster.

TCG and I had a delicious meal tonight at a restaurant we hadn't tried before. And smores for dessert.

Aims, did you get a diagnosis? (Also, your bedside table sounds like mine during The Pleurisy, although I didn't have cough syrup because I loathe it, so I just got Tylenol 3 since that's an effective codeine delivery system.)
