Training Day

(heh, heh) Joyce has started to introduce the girls to a leash. Yeh, right. This is gonna take some time.

They have taken the day off learning, it seems. We've been having trouble with wets and poops today, just about the time we thought they were showing some promise. But, it's too hot to sit outside with them waiting to praise them for squatting in the grass. I can take them out and one will poop, but the other, nothing. Go inside and sure 'nuff, let her rip and that's one thing about trying to raise two pups together. It is difficult to praise or scold one when the other is nearby.

I hear one of them barking now. Joyce just came out of the shower room sighing. We have a handicapped bathing chair in there and apparently, it was crouched to pounce on Mary or something. She had been telling it off, anyway. Mary, also, has an affinity for their brush. She found out the other day that it sticks her nose if she gets too close. So, all we have to do is lay it on the floor and she will bark incessantly as long as it is there. We have to put it away to make her stop.

Tomorrow is mower man day. I'll have to go out and walk the yard to pick up toys and stuff they have dragged around out there. One of their favorite toys is an old knotted sock. Those would raise havoc with the lawn mower...not to mention the mower would raise havoc with the sock. Luckily, my old socks are white so they are easily spotted. Another of their favorite toys is a Frisbee. Unfortunately, it's not so easily spotted.

Pictures. I'm sure you would like some pictures now and them. I have tried several times to get photos of their antics, but my phone camera just isn't fast enough. By the time the phone camera decides to snap, they've moved out of the scene or they are just a blur. Guess I'll have to break out my Canon...camera, that is.
