Missing Poop Uncovered

So, I’ve escalated the efforts to get the dog accostomed to pottying outside instead of in the house. I now carry all poop from inside the house to a specific spot outside.

Today I look outside to see my most helpful child (8yr old) burying the poop!

Next step in the training will be to put urine scented sticks and leaves in the same area and spray down the favorite spots in the house with a scented deterent.

This Morning

Molly and I started the day with some dog training practice. She did well! Let’s hope I didn’t just use up all her good behavior for the day. Today is dog school graduation.

I could have had a major win with Molly but the cold weather drove me in. Once inside, she instantly let a gallon flow! Had I waited a few minutes!!

I need echinacea! I can feel something coming on but I am going to fight through it. If not for this blog entry my family would not even know. Now my wife will tease me with the “poor me’s”.

Heroes

It feels so good to be my daughter’s hero. This morning I was holding her (the 2yr old) on my right hip and poured a juice single handedly with my left hand. She leans away from me so she has room to clap and quickly and repeatedly pats her hands together while cheering “yeah Daddy!” with a BIG smile on her face.

My life doesn’t have a soundtrack yet (unless my sound track is Art of Noise or Stomp) but I certainly do have a cheering squad!

Great Read

James of Puerilis who original brought us “How Not to Launch Fireworks” has other great posts such as the Largest Photo Ever which uses Zoomify to allow you to look closer at the picture. I can tell you in some quick poking around I found one window that contains 4 rolls of toilet paper. I found 1 woman and 5 men. One of the men had a badly cropped head mangled onto his body. This will occupy the voyuers for hours. (oops.. there’s one of those censor words that adsense won’t like). Zoomify also has a free download to make your own pictures.

He also brings us some great anagrams such as “Snooze Alarms = Alas! No More Z’s” and “Eleven plus two = Twelve plus one”

This Morning

Yesterday I started a new house breaking program. See Molly, the dog, has taken to going outside and sitting down or lying down and just waiting me out. With the temperatures where they are (current 30°) it is not hard to wait me out. So, I have allowed her to make her mess in the house. They I pick it up and rather than depositing it in the toilet, I am placing it in the yard where I want to encourage her to go. These are things I never imagined I would do with my life!

My brother says my hints were less than subtle

FUNNY: Yale Students Perform Prank of the Century, Almost

In a stunt reminiscent of the Great Rose Bowl Hoax on January 2, 1961, Yale students faked being members of the “Harvard Pep Squad,” passing out pieces of paper to the Harvard side of the stadium that when the fans held up the papers spelled “We Suck.” Apparently the stunt is available in a video but Virginia Tech or someone wanting us to thinking Virginia Tech did it has hacked the http://www.harvardsucks.org site to pop up a javascript alert reading “Go Virginia Tech!” If you go to that site remember that “esc” cancels javascript (but you may have to hit it repeatedly while trying to close the window and alt-F4 closes a program. You can also use cntl-alt-del and end task.
