TI-RED!
Tue Dec 06 2005

Despite sleeping rather well last night, I find myself extremely tired today.  I suspect a lot of it is stress over this damn computer class I'm taking.  Oh well, next week is the last class, so I don't have long to suffer through the rest of it.

I've been working on several different things with Shelby lately.  The one I find most useful is the Front command.  I give that command and she comes to sit in front of me to see what I want.  

OK, she comes to sit in front of me to get a cookie at this point, but soon it will be to see what I want when she knows more commands.  She is doing quite well with it.  9 out of 10 times she follows the command to a T.  That 10th time she probably would have followed it had #2 not dropped his prime rib off onto the floor 5 feet away from where she was when I gave the command.  

#2 is out doing a promotional gig for CAP today.  The local cable company has asked to feature them in their spot on this community.  He was quite nervous about it, and decided that to overcome his nervousness he was going to envision Ms. December from his brothers Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar.  I told him to try and remember not to drool.

    Civil Air Patrol? Or is there another CAP that I don't know about?

    I have a uniform ny grandson wore, and I'd like to find a place to give it back. CAP used to be at McClellan air field, but I don't know where it is now.

    Shelby is coming along very nicely. You can't really fault her when there's prime rib falling to the floor. *grin*

    Thanks. I just sent a note to the address you gave me, telling them I have a uniform they can have.
