Motivated and typing

So I think I left off with a skunk in the corner of the garage and fire in the mind. Well I lost interest in the telling it so in short I brought the fire kettle shown here in the garage, put it under a spot where the ceiling was the highest and had a little blaze going. In about an hour the skunk smell was gone replaced by the beautiful smell of cedar and pine smoke, and the skunk was half out of it when I went to "persuade" it with a golf club to leave my garage. I read about the energy animals can sense from a person in Cesar Milan's book. I guess it does work. I went in with no aggression and no fear and i pretty much scooped it out with a rake and a three iron.

So how do ya ground a dog? Today Charley decided that he was going to go on a walk with a neighbor as she was passing by. Try as she could she couldn't get him to stay home so together they went for three miles down to the lake and back. During the excursion I got home from work and was warmly greeted by our other puppy named Lucy. Until then I had yet to see one dog without the other so I did the only logical thing that one could do....

Yeah I totally freaked out.

Long story short we were in the jeep ready to go looking and here the neighbor lady comes with Charley right beside her trotting down the road without a care in the world. She said he was great.

What I said to the dog:
You little punk what were you thinking? I was freakin out! I'm not playin, dog!

What he heard:
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah play

What's ironic is I think that's the same thing I heard when I was getting chewed out by my parents in high school. Anyway the dog is back and there was much rejoicing in the Land.
