OMG Solomon
Well, I guess ya'll gotta know what Solomon did to me this past Saturday. First let me explain, there has been a cat from a nearby neighborhood that we believe belongs to someone else, because he is so friendly, but he is a thorn under Solomon's saddle! I took Solomon with me on Saturday to run my errands and he did beautifully, however, when we came home I was getting the groceries out of the car it all went down hill quickly. I took the lead off Solomon and let him have free run of the deck, I got the first "load" in the house went back for the second "load" well I came thru the gate, the cat ran past my feet and Solomon pushed by me and was gone. Gone in 60 Seconds!!! We have given him 2 nicknames--Lucifer and Wiley Coyote. I grabbed his squeeky Wubbie and ran out the door screaming his name. Of course he suddenly does not know his name. Go figure!!! I did not hear anything, like a dog franticly barking or a cat screaming from pain at having been caught by the Wiley Coyote! Luckily no one where I live was home or they would have called 911 for the crazy women running back and forth squeezing a wubbie and hollering "SOLOMON". In a panic I call my husband, out of breath from running down the road to God knows where, my husband thinks I've had a heart attack and is yelling whats wrong? Whats wrong? I tell him what Lucifer has done and that I can't find him anywhere. What am I gonna do? He yells, "I'm on my way" I began to cry because I thought of my poor baby lost to me and no one can love him like I do. I suddenly hear a yap, and see a white kitty running for his life and I knew that not far behind him would be the "Coyote". So I hunkered down and waited. Out from under our neighbors deck, which is only 2" high, comes flying a ball of energy hell bent on catching the Roadrunner. I scooped him up, promptly telling him just what a bad boy he truly was and re-deposited him on the deck and then we went thru the list together of all his wrongs that he had just committed. I called my husband to let him know that I had Lucifer. He chuckled because he had borrowed a Dodge Van that would not stay cranked no matter what he did. He said it cut off on him at least 4 times a mile from the shop. The moral of this story is, be Cesar Milan and claim the gate when entering or leaving or at least tie the boy where he can't shoot thru the gate!!! and borrow a vehicle that runs.I have found a class that begins on April 19 that offers Obiedence Training. Guess who is gonna be in it, Solomon, aka Lucifer aka Wiley Coyote!! Gotta love the boy.

Brodie used to do that also, now Lilly is busy trying to "kiss" him licking him all over the face when we hug and kiss that he doesn't bark at us, just low growls at her! Actually DH (who doesn't do hardly any training with them) did get Brodie to sit back on the carpet and stay there while we open the door. I need to be better about following the rule and not let him rush the door when someone comes.

Oh my that is funny, cause the UPS guy around here has 2 speeds-----full out and stopped. He would have never stopped for anything. I have just decided that he can come off leash when he is in the house and no chance of the door being opened. We make sure the gate is locked behind us everytime we come in now. I can't wait for classes. This may be the best thing for him and help me get him a little under control. He is so jealous when my husband hugs me now that he barks and pushes up against us trying to stop what he sees. So now I think he has guarding issues!!! Anything else!!!

Too funny, I can relate... because that's our Brodie, once he almost ended up driving off with the UPS man he was out the door and in the van that quick, Here I am running out the door, waving my arms screaming MY DOG'S IN THERE!

You are a terrific writer - I could picture the story you were painting for us so easily. Like Jane, I had to laugh a little, but I've been there. We got home for a walk and got the dogs in the house, but Sidney decided he was not done and scooted back out the door before it closed all the way. He sprinted down our driveway with us (myself, hubby and kids) screaming at a suddenly deaf corgi. As he tore down the hill, we could see a car turning the corner and headed on a collision course with Sidney. Talk about life going into super slow-mo when tragedy approaches. Sure enough, Sidney and the car collided. Sid ran snout-first into the moving car's tire. A split second slower or faster and he's UNDER the car. He lost 2 teeth but that's all, thank goodness. Terrifying!
Sid is very well trained, has his CGC and he's a therapy dog - but he does go selectively deaf. I have to watch that door like it's Buckingham Palace and I wear a tall fuzzy hat.

I'm sorry but "thanks" for the laugh...maybe it's because my day has been a bit like yours but everyone is driving me crazy! I have a Wiley Coyote, a barker and a B______ plus 2 of them were chewing on who knows what dead thing they found in the field and yes...mine are all deaf! It's gotta be the weather! Glad all got better for you...I'm still mad and have 2 crated dogs right now...so I appreciated hearing about your little one!
