Fresca, our Bichon, gets a treat when she comes in from outside … our way of reinforcing outside pottying.     She sure has learned fast.    She now knows if she barks to go outside for a few minutes she gets a treat when she comes in.     Now and then when she’s [...]

Dre.e.e.e.eam, Dream, Dream, Dream …

For the most part I love dreams.   I love having them and I love hearing about other people’s dreams … for the most part. There are some dreams that stress me so much that I wake up exhausted.   I hate the kind of dreams where everything is crazy and wild and jumbled and makes no [...]
