We have NEVER been able to interest Thelma in Tug/throw/toss... Louise was incredible...she had burried tennis balls all over the property for a chance game...but never tug. Dunno why. I look forward to reading those links....

They're videos, Carol. They don't go into how to transition from ball to tug, but that's available on the Leerburg site, I think. And I think it's in the DVD, too.
They do teach you how to 'target' the tug, so the dog grabs the right part, & not your hand or the strap (our problem). Choosing a good training tug. How to 'out' on command.
River & I had a great game of tug last night, once she started to catch on to the new system. I need to buy some different tugs. The ones she really likes are too short for this stage of training. I wish the pet stores sold them, but no, I'll have to order them. So we'll have to wait a while. I do have a firehose one, a leather one, and a plastic one that's supposed to be a floating dummy. They're the right size...
I have little confidence in any enterprise or business or investment that promises dividends only after the death of the stockholders.

Thanks, Caroline.
Sweet DH is taking me to town to shop for a new toilet seat, a tractor tire and then lunch at the Astronomy Center. Can't think of anything more romantic except maybe a picnic at the Sewage Treatment Plant (one of his faves!!!).

Hunh? How'd you go from toilets to tractors?
We got RAIN! The T-storm came over our house... oh, it was so marvelous. And the air... I don't send an electric arc every time I touch something. Hope it helps w/the fires... there is a mandatory evacuation of Los Alamos in place now. That fire's up to 43,000 acres already.

Sheesh, Jay, you just aren't paying attention. Carol's DH was taking her out to buy a toilet seat AND a tractor tire. Somehow I don't see a tractor tire decorated with barbed wire tho.
Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid.

You guys are too much!!!
We had a great time...yes, really, we did!!!! Finally found a restaurant open for lunch on a Monday...walked down main street (4 blocks) and back to the car...picked up the tire, bagged the shopping at Home Depot and came home.
Wonderful!!! A day with Bob is more than my little heart could hope for and it was wonderous!!!
