2/22/10: structurally google wouldn't let me do what I wanted 2 do. Bummer and as a result I've removed the copy as it isn't applicable.

A story can be told from any starting point-
2/22/10: Wolves always remind me of shepherds, the german variety, though all herders and all wolves for that matter engage in the same patterns -physical patterns whether hunting a herd or protecting a herd.
%ing stuff.
The most important thing to me regarding the above title amoung many things is and was his desire to protect the wolves.
The only thing for me to say regarding dogs- their sometimes kissing cousin- is the following:
The most importnat commands for a dog are:
stop= velcro those paws to the ground no matter what
drop= no matter how high the adrenaline rush of rough housing with a pull toy- when I say drop- you drop it.
Y?
Well what are the two greatest dangers to a dog?
a) being hit by car- (remember Buddy?)
b) biting someone- and particularly not leting go should that happen
Sit, lay, stay aren't commands for the dog- they're commands for the human's comfort rather than the dog's protection.
Lastly the average dog has a 120 word capacity, above average 250 with the ability to convert and understand one word as let's say english and that same word as german, or french etc..
If your dog doesn't know english- why is that exactly?
Oh as for that "expert chick" telling everyone on O's networks that its not the words but the tone of voice. Bullshit. All she's teaching anyone is to use their "I'm begging you" voice with your dog.
Dogs, being kindly creatures towards humans, if you beg- they'll try to help you out. But when the stakes are high: like a car or your leash breaks when the fun can truly begin if your Buddy isn't just as good on as off leash)- well then by not teaching your dog well- your dog could next be dead.
Who's fault would that be: their dumbass human.
Sorry but that's how I see it.
And that's how it is.
About Me
- amcsquared
- In 2001 I sustained a brain injury which altered me as a person, my neurology and my abilities. Skills I had never thought of as skills disappeared entirely. One of those lost skills was the capacity to write and organize information. For over ten years I have been working diligently on regaining what I have lost while living in a state where, to quote a staff member at MUSC: "some people should be left by the side of the road to die". My name is Maren Alford and to borrow a line from Toni Morrison: I am not dead. To quote Patton: I shall return. I will make as close to full recovery as is humanly possible, or impossible for that matter.
