the dog whisperer
it seems i have inadvertently trained atlas to connect the act of me whispering his name with the idea that there is something exciting nearby that he needs to find. whenever i whisper-say “atlas,” he acts as if i’ve just told him there’s a squirrel or kitty nearby and his ears perk up and his eyes fill with excitement and he begins looking all around for it.
i suspect this could be a problem in the case of an event during which i might want to whisper and have him pay attention to me. say, in the event of a home break-in, or a starring role in a movie, or a game of hide-and-seek.
hhhmmm…interesting dilemma, but a very sweet one. Not sure what to recommend, as I suspect Atlas would think most anything is exciting. ;o) So happy to see him here today. ((HUGS))
you won’t believe my foolishness.
i’ve been visiting everyday as i do… and seeing “i’m the luckiest girl in the world.”
i’ve been waiting and waiting for a new post. i left a message of receiving my aqua cards on it… and today finally i had sense enough to click on blog above and all the most recent posts of course are here! duh!
sometimes i despair at my intellect!
