Herding Chickens Sense we live SE FtWorth we had both of todays tornados coming our way for a short time. I saw the clouds blacken,we took the dogs out and got our storm closet ready. Then it was time to call the dogs and have them sit in the closet. I thought this has always been an easy task. I stand at the door of the closet and tell them all (5) "IN". UM NO, not today, today was the first time I have had to do this without 2bits (recently passed at age 15+). It was pretty much like trying to herd chickens. They must of really needed his calmness and it wasnt there,even if I was calm. If there hadnt been such ugly weather outside it would of made for a funny video. One in the closet,4 out,the one runs out while one other goes in. I finally just picked up 2 or 3 at a time and put a baby gate up. I just didnt want to actually close the door on them unless I was in the closet with them. Guess I will have to work on the training some more and rethink the process for speed. |
