He’s like the opposite of the dog whisperer

I had a moderately productive day today, I did a 5 mile run, yoga, did laundry, dishes, got my guitar lessons into an actual plan format, had a business conference call this morning for new project work on NitroVideo, stacked more firewood, got a nice visit from my Mom and my nephew Zack, and I’ve got another business meeting with a friend that wants to build a website for her business this evening too.

Zack is a little scared of Yogi, just because he’s a big dog and he’s very excited when new folks come over. As much as I tried to relax Zach, he just couldn’t get up the gumption to pet the big orange monster. Then again, I don’t think Zach’s technique of screaming as loud as possible calmed Yogi down either. He’s like the opposite of the dog whisperer. Zach asked about Zizzie’s (Vivie) teeth and said he wants to play lincoln logs with Wibble Wan (Little Van).

Last night, I got a surprise call from my buddy Doug and we hung out drank Chimay and Magic Hat #9 and watched the stupid Flyers lose their 10th in a row.

    Magic Hat #9? Let me tell you what that does to you when you don’t take a five mile run. We’ve done that research in my home this winter. Ouch.

    My Lightning are on a losing streak too. Oh wait, they were never winning to start with, so it’s not really a change. I feel your hockey pain.

    The Spongebob Butt Thermometer is the single most frightening thing I have seen in a long, long time.

    I had a pretty productive day yesterday too. I watched the Combine, and um… slept. I played with Max a bit too.

    Every time I visit, I want here I want to start working out again, but as soon as I click out, the feeling is gone.

    Mary – i don’t want it between my pineapples

    Cynnie – nah, i just have less distractions

    Chimay rocks. ROCKS. It’s my favorite. And NO ONE here likes to drink it! So it never gets stolen! HA!!!! (Like my wasabi).

    Good for you and getting some Yoga under your belt. How are you feeling??!

    Two of my kids are terrified of dogs. I have no idea why, but they are just so scared.
    I remember before I had kids and we had a dog, the first day we lived in our new (old) house our dog got loose and was running circles around our new block. There was a little girl in the neighborhood that was terrified and she just screamed and screamed as the dog ran by. I did not get it at all because the dog wasn’t even going anywhere near her so why was she so scared. Now that I have my own two little girls that are scared, I get it. The dog doesn’t actually have to be anywhere near them for them to start screaming. My one daughter who is afraid? We had our dog until she was 3 years old and she used to love him. I have no idea why she is so afraid now.

    Claudia – no one drinks it? are they all stupid there? i’m feeling better, still need to concentrate on some down dog to work this junk out of my foot

    tori – Zach likes little dogs and Yogi is the opposite of little dog, he’s a bouncy 120 pound boy.

    Heh. We have a Dog Yeller at our house, too. My friends with dogs lurve us. To pieces.

  18.  furiousBall Says:

    janet – on the plus side, there is never a need to put a bell around the neck of a dog yeller, you pretty much know where they are at all times, you know… because of the yelling
