It's been a very educational week for me. I've learned a lot of new things and feel it is my duty to share with the world. If it helps even one person, my work will be done.

Life Lesson #3
It's okay to put training treats in your mouth when you're working with your 30 pound terrier mix because you know she's going to jump up in a moment of unbridled enthusiasm.

Life Lesson #4
Enjoy the simple things in life. And there's nothing simpler than half a rawhide stick:
I guess you can teach an old weasel new tricks. Who knew!?
