My sons wife brought home a great pyreness,it barks all day long, every day.inside or out at nothing. If you let it off leash it's gone for the day.

They like to wander around and keep a eye on stuffs.
It's just part of them and why they make shitty pets.
If mine didn't have the space and freedom they do they would be destructive and aggressive.
Got to get the dog that fits the situation I always say.

Trying to teach Gigi to cast double aught buck but she isn't listening either.

Docs office just called xrays show calcified joints, arthritis, separation between this and that. What a mess so it sounds to be anyway.
Have always wondered why I feel like I do, wonder what the rest of me has to tell?
Just get me to 75 without a bunch of shit and I'll go quietly into the night.
70 will probably be more like it

Glad it's nothing important cant see orthopedist till mid January.

12 Reasons Why Reading Books Should Be Part of Your Life:

1. Knowledge Highway: Books offer a vast reservoir of knowledge on virtually any topic imaginable. Dive deep into history, science, philosophy, or explore new hobbies and interests.
2. Enhanced Vocabulary: Regular reading exposes you to a wider range of vocabulary, improving your communication skills and comprehension.
3. Memory Boost: Studies suggest that reading can help sharpen your memory and cognitive function, keeping your mind active and engaged.
4. Stress Reduction: Curling up with a good book can be a form of mental escape, offering a temporary reprieve from daily anxieties and a chance to unwind.
5. Improved Focus and Concentration: In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions, reading strengthens your ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods.
6. Empathy and Perspective: Stepping into the shoes of fictional characters allows you to develop empathy and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives.
7. Enhanced Creativity: Reading exposes you to new ideas and thought processes, potentially sparking your own creativity and problem-solving skills.
8. Stronger Writing Skills: Immersing yourself in well-written prose can improve your writing style, sentence structure, and overall communication clarity.

that's NOT what you need with a 150 lb. dog...the bigger they are the more important their training is

She got him because he was so cute as a puppy. Now he goes from the house to the clothesline leash. No exercise so he can't drain it. He's a nice dog but not for me. He needs a field full of sheep and work.

Very competitive in Denver. More dispensary's than Mc Donald's and Starbucks combined. Then there are the Black Market growers. Secret is marketing. You have to be better and cleaner than EVERYBODY.

I remember the green rush about 15 years ago. Marijuana was legalized and hundreds came here to get rich....most all of those guys are long gone. Came here broke and left the same way. There are still many black market growers here but if you want to sell you better be good.

I am retired of course but I love what I do.

Kind of like the gold rush many tried to get rich most left broke. The people who fed and supplied miners with goods did well. I suppose there is similarities with cannabis.
A quality product and good customer service goes a long way.

I thought this was a nice added touch with my last seed purchase.

I was reading something yesterday about Japanese car makers joining forces.
Did you happen to see that Pute?

not much traffic Unca

but there is a sawmill 1/2 mile from our place and they pretty much run 24/7 and they do get noisy

but it’s a good sound to me , sort of like when the train goes by and blasts its horn , that’s like music to me

I like the smell of fresh cut lumber/timber, it smells good.

We use to visit this lady (my momma’s friend) every year who lived right on the tracks. We would always spend the night as it was a drive to NC. The train went by several times a day and at night. The whole house would shake…. Made a good memory tho

Growing up on the farm, I learned from my parents to get the response I desired from our animals, including cows, horses, pigs, chickens, and dogs. Our Boxers were as well behaved as male Boxers can be. They followed directions and were situation appropriate, but were still spontaneous as dogs are wont to be.

It wasn't until Grayfox and I got a German Shepherd pup that I started reading the available books, most oriented around hunting dogs or family dogs, but I learned a lot from a couple authors whose training methods I was comfortable with.

Looking at our dog books library, I see books by Strickland, Woodhouse, Monks of New Skete, Kohler, Coren, Pearsall-Leedham, McConnel, Eckstein, Haggerty-Benjamin, Hirchhonn, Morris, Bennett, Ross-Patterson, Patterson, Fox, Wolther, Owen, and Dunbar.

After reading them all, I of course thought I was as smart as all of them and me combined so did my own thing after taking ideas from them all.

The first thing I teach a pup is to sit, because I require them to sit at every curb before crossing until it is automatic that they never cross a curb without a release. While I have them sitting, I teach them to shake, using a treat for both.

That is the only training that I use a treat for. The rest of the training is done with stern voice or praise.

I teach them to come by putting a 20’ lead on a training chain and getting 20’ away from them before saying, “Come.” If they come, I love them up and if they don’t I jerk their chain and say come again. When they then come, I love them up for coming and then repeat until they always come.

For heel I use a training chain and walk them at heel, after commanding them to heel. If they break their heel, I jerk their chain and say, “HEEL”.

The worst punishment that I heap on them for heinous offenses, is the Alpha Wolf Rollover, which I notice the Monks of New Skete no longer recommend after someone got their face chawed. I’ve only used it with pups or dogs that I raised from a pup, none of the dogs that we’ve rescued.

I never strike or inflict pain on a dog beyond jerking their training chains, because I don’t want them afraid of me, when it critical that they immediately drop what they are doing and come. When my dogs get in trouble, they run to me, not away from me.

I forget which teacher said it, but I agree with the training philosophy that you treat dogs with love and respect, but you never let them win.

If you call them and they don’t come, go get them. If you tell them to stop and they don’t, go grab them by the scruff. Never let them get away with disobeying a command.
