  • Hey…I’m not ignoring you…I just know that post is going to take me some time to compile and I’m being lazy!
    Gotta respond to Ezra too now! Ah! If I have time I will get back soon!!!! Please forgive!
    I saw that you gave one of my posts a thumbs up. Whatever you do don't google "spider horse" that is some scary shit.
    Haha. Coincidences like that happen to me all the time! It's a word I don't come across very often, but I think it's cool.

    I also think photography is relaxing. I generally take photos when I'm hiking. Sometimes I prefer to fully experience the activity rather than trying to capture the moment though.

    No, I haven't posted any of my photos on the forum. Maybe once summer gets going and I start taking more, but knowing myself probably not. :) I don't usually use photo shop on my pics. The most I ever really do is cropping or orientating.
    I love your photos! Photography is a hobby of mine, but I'm only a dilettante.
    That is probably best =) Several folks, myself included, have tried again and again to help him be more open-minded, but it never happened. I can see you getting frustrated with him and would not want you to keep bashing your head against the wall of his dogma.
    I understand, I had to fight through the most of the first episodes of doctor who, it only happened because both of my other friends kept referring future season in conversation and it as starting to annoy me when I couldn't get the references.
    9th, he had some of the worst episodes and the shortest run of any of the doctors, but the empty child, the doctor dances, Dalek are some of my favorite episodes. I would have killed to have him in the 50th special.
    I'm looking forward to it, I called that the new doctor would be older in my circle of friends and Highly doubt that the thirteenth will be the last doctor. I'm sad to see smith go, he was quite something as the doctor.
    Cancer took my last two German Shepherds and our Husky. Sorry about your loss. I love big dogs especially, but we had a Jack Russell Terrier we put down last Sunday 17 1/2 years with us in the house. Miss that little guy a lot.
    Last one I rec'd would not let go. He came to me. I had him letting go on his own in three months, but the K-9 Units do not have the time to take for their dogs. I started with wooden rubber band guns. When he started taking them from me without biting my glove, I had gained his respect. I stopped with the gloves. I was asked by the K-9 Unit to stop teaching him to remove things from people's hands. I did that to put myself on his level. Showed him I was fast, too. Showed him I could hold onto something as lo0ng as I wanted, also. Moved to rubber balls that were hollow and had holes in them. They were about 4" diameter. He would be given one, and his game was for me to try and get it from him. He found that led to shorter time for play. I introduced another ball. Hello. He had one, but then I would produce another. It confused him how to keep one and get the other. I kept pointing at him using my pointer finger showing him to put it down by three quick downward movements while saying his release command.
    He would put it down only to pick it up when I moved toward him. I let him keep both and introduced a third ball. It took me four balls, trying to get one away from him before allowing another to play with. He finally would allow me to come get them while he stayed. After that, he and I would be working and he would grab a ball and nudge me with it. He learned from my facial expressions and body language what I wanted him to do, and he did it to please me. Lost him at 8 to cancer.
    I kind of train dogs. I first get to know them. Then, I challenge them to figure out what makes me happy.
