Something Cheerful

Look at how pretty these daffodils are!! You get a dozen stems for $1.00 at Trader Joes

It Worked!

Last night I used the air horn to teach Gracie that jumping on the counters and eating the food is NOT ALLOWED in our house. Let me tell you, IT WORKED!! I put some of her favorites out (bacon, cube of butter, cup of dog food and some fruit), walked out of the kitchen and waited all of two seconds for her to jump up and BAM the air horn went off. Poor pup was so scared, but the problem is now solved. I also used this technique for the dishwasher, refrigerator and my bedroom. I am sure I will have to do some reinforcement tonight but I am not afraid to do it.

Gracie!!

This is my pup Gracie!! She is a lovable, huggable, food obsessed, super cute pup that is on a mission to drive me CRAZY! Since day one she has kept me on my toes especially after the very expensive tennis ball accident. Gracie is like a toddler, she puts everything in her mouth and you know when it is quiet that she is up to no good. Our latest challenge together is in the kitchen. Every time I open the refrigerator, put any food item on the counter or start to cook something there is good ole' Gracie waiting for me to turn my back so she can get a taste test. WELL GIRLFRIEND just you wait to see what is gonna happen tonight (see picture below) when you try to eat off the counter. Sorry in advance to all of my neighbors, nothing says goodnight like a loud air horn!!!
