Last night Abbi and I had our first puppy training class. It started with me finding just the right outfit to wear. I was thinking the attire would be somewhere between business casual and sweatpant slob. I opted for my best fitting jeans and a cute layered top.
Abbi's biggest problem is her strong desire, like pull you over and drag you behind her strong, to play with other dogs. This made us immediate outcasts as everyone in the class sat in chairs on one side of the room with their dogs laying nicely by their feet and me on the other side of the room on the floor in the birthing position. Only rather than trying to push a baby out between my legs, I was trying to real my dog in. The only thing I could think of was "At least I look good!"
Then came the worst part, THE WATER BOTTLE OF SHAME. Abbi was doing her " Hey guys I'm over here! I'm here! Do ya wanna play? Huh? Huh? Huh?" bark when I was handed the water bottle of shame. I was told it was NOT ok to let my dog interrupt the class and I was to squirt her in the mouth every time she barked. Needless to say, Abbi's whole head was drenched by the end of the class.
At this time, I could no longer tell myself "At least I look good" because my hair was stuck to my face which was dripping with sweat from wrangling my dog for an hour. We could've totally been pictured on some Owners Who Look Like Their Pets feature. I think I am going to bring my kids next week so the class can see how well I've trained parented them!
This is fantastic!!! The only thing to make this better is PICTURES!!! lol thanks! After a long week this is what I needed...a good laugh! sorry:)
