Dog Walking 101

Cesar Milan is one of my heroes (The dog whisperer). He always says to be strong and assertive. Well, I try honest I do, but walking the dogs is like wrangling wild cattle. Our walks usually go like this:

Daisy: Tree!

Lucy: Where

Daisy: Right here! Walk in front of our human and see!

Me: Lucy, no!

After they get back in the groove:

Lucy: Dog!

Daisy: Where! Hmm, hmm! (Whine)

Lucy: I got it. I'm going to try to rip human's arm off!

Daisy: (Whine)

Me: Lucy, no! Get back here!

Daisy: Kids!

Lucy: They have a ball! Let's run like a bat out of hell!

Daisy: (Whine)

Lucy: I got it!

Me: Lucy, no!

By the time we get home I'm so worn out by trying to stay calm and assertive I barely care they have run back into the house and started chewing on Trav's underwear. I love dogs!
