He Peed Where ?
I know ! It is like OMG Hello ! I am right here ! When Rubin lifted a leg and marked the stack of clean towels; I just forgot everything I teach, I stomped my foot and screeched at him, " RUBBBBBBBBBIN !! What the Heck is wrong with You ?!! Have you lost your mind ?!! He cringed and ran to his crate. The other dogs stopped playing. For a micro second they were in a primitive terror freeze. Just like ancient dogs of long ago used to freeze, when a saber tooth tiger roared at them. They blinked off the fearfull trance and ran to me, licking and jumping in a frenzy of doggy comfort. They were doing a canine version of "it's going to be ok, there, there, just calm down" . I felt so embarrassed, even if the Yorkies were the only witnesses, to see my moment of crazy. Rubin never marked clean towels again. Maybe he was traumatized. I just don't know. But, I do not advise you stomp a foot like it is on fire or scream like a bee stung banshie. My throat was sore for two days, not to mention my shattered illusion of self control. That was several years ago and this is the first time I have been brave enough to tell the whole, truth ... I hope you still respect me in the morning.
