Pick a lick had a lot of fun this weekend.  I think he looks sound.  He knocked that last bar because I was veering out of the way of the ring post.  Should have converged...duh. 

Little Hundaloo was kinda bad yesterday and today.  Just when I thought we were getting somewhere.  He ran away and wouldn't let me catch him yesterday and today he stopped doing a down at class.  It was my fault though.  I tried to train too long doing the same thing (CAN'T do this with Hunda's) AND then when he gave up on doing the down it became a power struggle (DO NOT get into a power struggle with vallhunds, they are stubborn).  So we ended on a good note but it was only after I put him up to train another dog and gave him a break.  I am going to set my alarm for 15 minutes next time and stop BEFORE it goes off.  He just can't do the stuff all these dogs are doing: down stays for 5 - 6 minutes from 30 feet away.  BUT Hunda CAN climb up the light pole backwards...none of those GSD's and doberman's can do that, so hah!  Class was so bad that I was going to be good and have a tuna sandwhich and tea with Kathy at Camille's, but instead I had a beer and chocolate cake.  The mound was very happy.

Have some character development for my story: the familiy pet, named Pirata.  He/she is a hermaphrodite chihuahua with one eye.  Hence the name Pirata (pirate in spanish).  Who knows what adventures might befall an animal like that.  And I think I will give the main character an imaginary friend, even though he is still in high school.

Also, the main character lives in Nadaland, CA which I drove by today on my way to dog training and I googled it when I got home.  Check it out!

Get it?  A book titled no title, about nothing, where the main character lives in a place called nothing land.
