How shocking!
Joey ran away the other night out at the Faux Farm. Bob took off chasing him down the road in bare feet. He was yelling back to me ” get the car, get the car”. So I get the car and speed up the road and man-o-man, that doggie can run. Just before the big road Joey ditches off to the right into someone’s yard. I stop the car, throw it into park, run out like a crazy person leaving the door open and the engine running and chase him down the yard where he is now running after some scared rabbits. Bob comes around the neighbor’s house from the other side and Joey heads into the woods after the bunnies. Bob, still shoeless, tells ME to go into the woods after him. But I am wearing my new wedge high heel sandals. And I just had a pedicure, and there might be snakes, or poison ivory or bugs or…. I am making a fashion statement and Joey is making a prison break. I run into the woods. I am tripping over logs, branches and barbed wire and I am close to spraining my ankle by falling off my 3 inch high heels when all of a sudden Joey stops. He needs to take a leak. Boys! It’s always the little things that trip you up isn’t it my little man? I run up really fast and I throw myself on top of him and the little fucker bites my hand.
I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and hauled his little fury ass out there and tossed him over to Bob and said “he’s your dog now”. Well, as much as I was mad at Joey I didn’t really want to lose him to the woods ever again so I went on line and read about the e-collars for hunting dogs. They say they are pet safe and deliver either a vibration, tone or shock (depending upon the cooperation of your dog) through a collar which you operate via a remote control. Think of the power. Petsmart carries them and I am off to get one. Joey has no idea what he is in for. Basically, it makes the incentive to listen (or get shocked) greater than the incentive to do whatever else your dogs wants to do. Bob is hoping I don’t use it on him. Jill told me to “make sure you get the one that has the vibrator as well as the shocker. ” Yeah I be sure to get that one, honey. Then your mom can use it too!!!!!! And perhaps it can give me a new hairdo as well!!!
