I’m working on it

by Cathalee on March 10, 2010

The dog trainer came last night. We spent the entire time outside learning how to walk. Hana and Jack were perfect little angels for the dog trainer. I think it has something to do with him being over 200 pounds and 6 feet tall. I’m not allowed to let Hana corral me any more. I’m not allowed to let Jack get ahead of me any more. I have to be tough.

Many of my neighbors who were driving towards their complexes, slowed down to watch our training session. I’m sure they were all thinking the same thing. Good for her. It’s about time. I’m tired of seeing her being dragged around. This one neighbor came out with her two dogs (a German Shepard and another large dog) and they went nuts when they saw my dogs. Jackson and Hana tried to act up, but the trainer put a stop to it. My dogs sat there and watched the other dogs silently while my neighbor struggled. She ended up taking her dogs back in, but came out with just the German Shepard and watched us train. I was like - Hey don’t piggy back off my lessons. Pay for your own!

So, tonight I took them out separately. I took Hana out first and we had a really good walk. She tried to pull me a couple of times, but for the most part she walked with me. She even kept her eye on me which was great. She would watch me out of the corner of her eye and if I slowed down, she would slow down.

Jack doesn’t pull like Hana, but he likes to walk in front of me. This is something that he’s not suppose to do. I had to correct him many times. We are suppose to walk side by side Jackson Edmond! It was breezy outside today so Jack really enjoyed himself. He loves it when it’s breezy.

All in all, we had a wonderful walk tonight. Sigh.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be just as nice…

Oven fried chicken

March 8, 2010

I had chicken wings that I didn’t know what to do with so I decided to marinate them in HiddenValley Spicy Ranch salad dressing, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Why? I don’t really know. It sounded good at around 10PM last night.

I marinated the wings over night, but then what? Krista was talking about [...]

Don’t tell him

March 5, 2010

So, Athip came over tonight. I didn’t feel like cooking so I offered to go get a pizza from Papa Murphy’s. He was parked behind my car so I ended up taking his. First of all, where the heck is Papa Murphy’s? I got lost and ended up way east of where I was suppose [...]

I want to talk about the kids

March 4, 2010

I put Mac and Oliver in my car this weekend. Mac LOVES to go for rides. The minutes you open the garage door, he runs over to the car and waits for you to open the door. When you do, he tries to jump in. It’s very cute. Oliver on the other hand HATES riding [...]

The magic that is Tiger Balm

March 2, 2010

Do you know what Tiger Balm is? Have you ever used Tiger Balm? Tiger Balm is used for “the symptomatic relief of muscular aches and pains, sprains, insect bites, itch and lumbago.” Lumbago is lower back pain by the way. Anyway, I’m pretty sure every Asian household has Tiger Balm.

I have two. I asked my [...]
