Learning Curve

Well, I have not blogged because I have been grounded. Not that I did not go to the park because I did. I exerted my dominance over little Boomer(Choc Lab) and my person got way, wicked mad and she exerted her dominance over me. I got put right on lead and I may be there forever. I even heard her call the Vet yesterday and got tips from her too!!! I knew this could not be good news for me.

Speaking of bad news Mimi has to have surgery next Friday. It was on and off a hundred times in the last couple of months but now it is on for sure. Her Special Vet said if she is not 100% than they should go in again. Both me and Mimi are in a bunch of dog do.

One of the new things my person has decided to do to is to use this thing that goes around my muzzle and it makes it so I can not snap my mouth. I can breath and drink and everything but I do not like it at all. When we first got to the park I kept bumping into my persons leg to try and rub the stupid thing off my face. This did not work well for anybody. My person already uses a stick to help her walk. So she was not happy because I was making her lose her balance which she does on her own all the time.

We saw that wonderful little dog who I always want to call Honey but that is not her name. She is a mixed breed and her person is really nice and I don't think I can remember her name right now. HMMMMMMM. I am having a senior dog moment and I am only 3. Jessie must not remember anything.I was on lead but we had a very friendly hello and I was fine!(Merlin with his new behavior aid)

So, I got to be off lead a lot but I had to keep this stupid thing on my face.

Soon, we saw Sally (Yellow Lab) and Daisy (mix). Daisy and I used to be really good buddies. My person told them about my recent bad behavior and they agreed to letting me off lead. She let me off and I charged both Sally and Daisy. After 1 second I was done with that and we all walked together in a pack and I was fine. We saw Ziggy at a distance and my person put me on lead "just in case"

We left the park in a pack and I liked being with my old friends. Maybe this thing on my nose helps me not be a jerk so much. OK I'll keep trying.
