Yeah, I know Ms. Brady would be pissed. Layla is generally the faster, more aggressive when it comes to getting the ball. Often times if the ball gets into a spot that she can't get it, Riley will get it out of the tough spot, and then she'll take it from him and bring it back. Total bitch move...
Anyway, Diane and I sat on the couch, throwing the ball and the dogs are chasing. Normal stuff around the house. After 20 minutes or so, we throw the ball up over the railing and on to the second floor.
Layla was immediately confused, I'm guessing not connecting that the ball was now up stairs. This despite the fact that she regularly stares down on us from up stairs. Riley charged for the ball. I just got done saying, Riley usually isn't the smarter of the two, but clearly he knows where upstairs is...Riley comes back with a toilet paper roll in his mouth... So much for being smart dogs... Labs are wonderful, warm, great dogs. But they aren't all that bright...
Hoping to get out on the bike tomorrow.We see how that goes...
thanks for reading...respect.

After last post on marketing without search engines, I decided to follow up with a strategy you can use to get quality free traffic. One of the easiest ways to get visitors to your web site is to spend money. Nothing is more effortless then paying for traffic. But if you can’t afford it or don’t want to pay, there’s an equally simple but free way to get traffic: ad swaps.

To follow up on what David there said...swell guy that David Baer.
This story reminded me of one of my favorite Eddie Izzard bits on the subject of cats and dogs—
Video:
Cats and Dogs
Excerpt:
We throw sticks at dogs, that’s the level we have dogs at. You’d never dream of throwing one for a cat. We throw sticks for dogs, and dogs go, “Oh, he’s dropped the stick! I better go and get that… (mimes chasing after the stick) You dropped your stick there. Thought I’d bring it back… And you hang on… (mimes giving the stick back and follows it with the eyes as it’s thrown again) Did you see me? I just brought that back! And then you thr… you dropped it again? It’s very weird what’s going on here… Now hang on to it this time, I don’t want to piss about all the time. You think I enjoy this? There you… Don’t fucking throw it!!” That’s why the third time, when they come back, they won’t give it to you, they go, (through clenched teeth) “No… I won’t let you take it!”

I have had both. One of the more interesting dogs I was ever around had a trainer who would say. "Get Smokes" Now I know that smoking is bad. But this dog would go and find his smokes. Or someone other dude's cigarette's. It was really amazing to see his dog jump in the window of his truck and grab the Box of Marboro reds and then run back. Now if I could just teach Mookie to open the fridge and get me a beer that would be awesome.
we taught fausto to get the paper. but now we cxld our paper.
labs are smart!
Alley next to Home Grown....what I win?
