Default Harlan Continues Winning Friends And Allies

Plotting against me, no doubt.

During a recent pet therapy trip, I had a little trouble convincing
one of the guests that Harlan really enjoys doing tricks for treats.
She kept telling me to "quit teasing that dog!"

I tried to explain that this was one of his favorite games (all the
more beloved because it was the Big Guy what taught him Hop Like A
Bunny, not boring old me), but she wasn't having any of it. Eventually
she gave up on me, disgusted, turned to Harlan and said, "You just go
ahead and bite her hand off, honey."

I guess True Thugness is Hard To Disguise.

LMAO bet that threw you for a loop.

Yes it is. That's why I embrace mine and boldly display it wherever I go.
Its much easier that way.

Did you pinch her ear for that? Or zap her with the shock collar?

Well, not as much as you might think. This gal is a bit of a
firecracker. She can be pretty funny. I'm not entirely sure if she was
giving Harlan a directive, it just making a joke.

Also, as this is an alzheimer facility, I actually like getting any
sort of comment that shows the client is with us in the here-and-now.
So mostly I thought it was funny and cool. But then, it should be
admitted, my outlook on life could be considered a little bent.

Oh, I'm not giving away all my training secrets, thank you very much.

LET'S ALL CHIP IN TO GET TERRI SOME PANELBEATING! Why should she have
to roll around "a little bent"? Send me your donations, and I'll
arrange for some large men with hammers to head over to Kansas and
beat her back into shape!

I like "a little bent." Its not as good as crooked but its close. Think
about it this way, she's more easily identifiable when out in public.
