    Oh, how I love red! I wear red, I store money in red, I light up a room with red and decorate my dining room walls in red. I buy red Christmas flowers. I also have red window treatments, red walls and ceilings. I even drive a red car!

    Do you love red?

    Super Dog: What can I do you for?

    Babe: I need help with my new pups. They don’t understand English. I tell them they have to make potty “outside”, so we all go outside and all they will do is play. Three minutes in the house and there are puddles of piddle and sometimes a lot of poop. I feel like quasi moto from all the bending over to clean it up.

    Super Dog: Do you praise them when they actually go “potty” outside?

    Babe: OH YES, I am so excited I give them treats as rewards!

    Super Dog: Ah! There’s the trouble, the treats. They realize that by not going “potty” outside all the time, and then actually doing it once outside, they will be rewarded with a treat. Do you see?

    Babe: Uh, no. Aren’t they getting the picture, poop outside you get a treat, poop inside I turn red in the face, NO TREAT.

    Super Dog: Well, if they start going potty all the time outside, they know the treats will stop. Very logical don’t you think?

    Babe: So what shall I do?

    Super Dog: Give them treats all the time when they go potty. Then, stop the treats when they go in the house but not outside. They will finally learn, treats outside not inside.

    Babe: Well that sounds pretty logical, I’ll give it a try. Thank you Super Dog, I knew you’d help me. Now I wonder whom I can get help from to assemble the London Bridge I bought yesterday when it arrives.

    Note:
    I have been alone with 3 dogs for 4 days during a snowstorm. I am tired, dizzy and dopey. This actually made sense to me.

    Sleepin

    OH MY GOSH, I am so tired!!!

    After a great Christmas at Joy and Dan’s where we overate, took naps and went shopping. Then at night-watched movies and cuddled with the Grand pups and Grand kitties, we thought, “What could be better”?

    The answer is our Christmas presents to each other.

    We had lost our Max in October and the three of us were missing him real hard. So SC and I decided to adopt two rescued Scotties. It didn’t take us long to find two that we felt would fit in and can give plenty of love to. BUT – they are a handful! They need potty training, discouraging of chewing our afghans, bed sheets and bathroom rugs. Try getting them to go out the door for potty time then through the door back in. We know this is a long process and will be accomplished but in the meantime - I AM SO TIRED!!

    Please meet Calle and Duffy.

    SC - Oh

    Babe - Oh my gosh!! The fires too hot - get the lid!!

    SC - Oh, that's to bad, you've burned the meat.
    Well, don’t worry we can always go out for dinner.

    Babe - Great, how about Kentucky Fried Chicken?

    SC - How about Jim’s Steak House

    Babe – Oh


    Now this isn't really about the Phoenix bird or the capital of Arizona. What it really is representing is the ruined dinner giving rise to a really good one. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
