 * As a mailman you always have to be concerned about dogs. On one stop on this vacation route the postman had to literally out maneuver the dog to get to the mail box with the mail, before the hound would try to snatch the mail from him. One day, the owner was out on the porch when the mail man came and made a suggestion. From then on he had no more trouble with the dog. Instead of trying to be quicker than the dog, he just put the mail into the dogs mouth and the pooch dutifully carried it to his master.

 * A workshop on dog temperament, then instructor told us of a  test for canines disposition. The owner was to fall down and act hurt. A dog with a bad temperament would try to bite the person, whereas a dog with a good temperament would lick his owner’s face and show concern. Once while eating pizza in the living room, I decided to try this out on my two dogs. I stood up, clutched my heart let out a scream and collapsed on the floor. The dogs looked at me, glanced at each other and raced to the coffee table for my pizza.

I bought an irregular electric blanket, It is solar powered.
