Man's Best Friend
I just beat the crap out of Shelby. Well. Not really. Hyperbole. But I did give her a firm snap on the nose and repeated "NO! Bad dog!"
What happened was that she was loose on the kitchen patio and my Dad opened the side door to the garage and she zoomed out and down the driveway. My Mom and I were enjoying the breeze in front of the house when she zoomed off into oblivion. I chased her for a bit, then I got frustrated and so my Dad followed her until she got tired and let her put on her leash. Stupid dog.
For those have "experienced" Shelby she's a Lakeland/Aireland Terrier with these long gorgeous legs that are like powered by the Energizer Bunny. She runs well and since I take her on jogs around the block late at night, she's used to the pace.
She's exhibiting some errant behavior: chewing up newspapers, slippers, etc. But for the most part I've been able to counteract that through frequent and regular walks and basic training. I've been thinking of enrolling her in more advanced Dog Training sessions at Petsmart, and that line of thought has been getting stronger.
Stupid dog.
