• Someone has a great sense of humor!

  So I am working on Barney, my most adorable and vivaciously energetic JRT on not rushing and barking at the TV every time a dog is on the TV...  It is very difficult for him.  He does have to defend his territory from those dastardly intruders, after all....  Well, yesterday, he was napping on my lap, with his head on his front paws facing the TV.  A commercial came on with a barking dog....he laid still.  I sat still until it was over.  Shew....  "Good Dog", I said, and scratched his ears....  The next commercial had two dogs, frolicking on a lawn...  I could feel Barney tensing up under my hand, and the rumbling of a growl beginning...  "quiet" I reminded him "shhhh".....  It took every bit of his self control to handle it.  Finally that commercial was over and the next one came on.  For what, you ask?  101 Dalmations!  I couldn't believe it.  We were in all out soothing mode at that point.   He controlled himself, but it took my big guns to handle him. 

  
  

  Man oh man...  Talk about being tempted beyond what you are able to endure!  I couldn't help but laugh...

  
  

  peace....
