[Dailydrool] anti-squirrel & remedial training

[Swartz]

Ruby Roo, Colt & I would like to welcome to the Anti-Squirrel Terrorism 
Team!  One bite of advise...lay quietly while stalking the squirrel. Gets 
them into a false since of security, wait for it to get into a position out 
in the open...be patient...then pounce on him.  They are quick varmints, and 
stalking, & chasing usually works better with a partner.  Maybe you should 
recruit one of the Weetweevers to be your partner.  Take no prisoners!

Prayers and drool to The Dog House Gang Auntee Doris' niece Aaron.  We hope 
that you come through ordeal soon.

Momma here: Colt has recovered from his squirrel poopitis.  It was just a 12 
hour bug. After tossing the contents of his tummy at 2-3am and then just 
laying around the house all day he was back to normal by the time I got home 
from work.  When I came into the house he was bouncing around like a furry 
rubber ball. After letting him back in the house after a potty break and 
squirrel patrol he was basset 500ing around the house and being a total goof 
ball!  But now he is running with a bout of confusion and is having to have 
a little remedial training.  Or it could be my fault...apparently I had 
inadvertently trained Colt to go to a spot instead of the object itself. 
Colt & Ruger have been trained to go to their individual kennels upon the 
"kennel" command.  However Wednesday I received and set-up the new Cool Bed 
III that I put in the boys room,  which in turn made me rearrange the room 
to make a place for it.  So when it was all said and done Colt's Kennel got 
moved to the other side of the room (Rugers didn't) So now when I tell Colt 
to go to his kennel he goes to where it used to be turns around a couple of 
times in the area that the kennel use to be at looking like "Where the hell 
is it" and then just sits down where the kennel was. So now I am in the 
process of retraining him....It is hard to do it without laughing at my 
goofy boy...The look on his little face is priceless when he can't find  his 
kennel...Like it was just there and it somehow disappeared as I was trying 
to get into it.

Hugs, tummy rubs to all and drool to all in need.
