Nothin' to see here, people, move along. Ok, if you insist on staying, atleast take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable. Once I get started...well, you could be here for a while. (Just ignore the typos. I do.) Yes, snacks are allowed as long as you share and clean up after yourself. Oh yeah, hey...if you happen to see my scissors around here, could you let me know. I could have sworn I had them right here a minute ago.

Chester! Oh dear sweet, hamburger stealing Chester! This big lug is the only thing I miss about living in New Canaan, Connecticut. I would love to snatch him away from those nasty people that own him but I can't do that kind of thing...dang it.

I remember when you told me Chester jumped the invisible "electric" fence so he could greet the service guy real quick...what a cute dog!
He did, he did. They had an invisible electric wire run along the ceiling in the basement so if he went into certail parts of the house he would get a little zap. They also had this outside so they didn't have to have a fence around the yard. Anyway, Chester could not go into the foyer, he knew that. He would stand in the doorway, prancing on his big paws, excited when someone would come to the front door. After he coulndn't stand it anymore, he would race across the doorway, thus getting a small zap, get petted by the visitorthen he would turn around and zoom back across the invisible barrier, getting another shock. I guess it was worth it to him. Outside he was a little more stubborn. Even if you took his shock collar off he would not walk across the invisible barrier. If you wanted to take him for a walk, you either had to stay in the yard or you had to load him into the back of the jeep...and he refused to jump up into the jeep, you had to lift his big butt and he was heavy, then you had to drive across the invisibale fence and then try to get Chester out. He liked going for rides so it was hard to get him out sometimes.
