Being Greeted by a Dog

I am following Cesar Milan on Twitter…that is the Dog Whisperer if you live in a hole. He is also following me. Which I think is kind of cool except I know he NEVER reads my tweets. But I am slightly paranoid to tweet something about the girls for fear of Judgement by the DW.

For example, two days ago, I tweeted that Kona was bossy and she is…she literally made me go to bed the other night. Long story but bottom line…Kona likes to parade around in her Bossy Boots…especially when the Alpha is not around. What would DW say if he actually read that tweet? Probably that I haven’t established clear pack leadership or something like that right?

So today, DW posts that if your dog is overexcited when he greets you that he is probably telling you that he is bored and his needs aren’t being met.

This I clearly know since Dixie thinks its a great idea to chew on carpet and other unacceptable things when we are not home. Kona for the most part is fine unless she decides to visit the sofa. Now I know there is so much truth to the theories of DW, but one of the things I love the MOST about my dogs is how they greet me when I get home. I mean seriously. What better feeling is there then coming home to the two happiest dogs you’ve ever seen? Maybe it’s selfish and just feeds my ego, but the excited greeting at the door is one of my favorite moments of the day. No matter how long I’ve been gone…even if it’s literally 30 seconds, if I walk out the door and come back in, my dogs are happy to see me.  Being greeted this way is especially good when your husband is stuck in Lubbock because there are no flights coming in and out due to “fog.” Two flights cancelled. Bummer Continental (even though Mike keeps reminding me it’s not their fault).

But fog? I mean is it so dense that you shouldn’t drive? And no offense to all the Lubbock-ites out there, but isn’t it just a flat grid? Surely there is a pilot that can maneuver through a little fog onto a long flat landing strip.  Take London for example…isn’t there a lot of fog there? Do all flights in and our of London get cancelled every foggy day? Case and point. No more excuses Continental. There are lots of people stuck in Lubbock right now…several of them my family, so how about we get them home stat? thanks. and gig ‘em.

So I clearly don’t actually know the weather in Lubbock nor do I know the perils of piloting a plane of fog…but Kona is being bossy again and demanding that Alpha return…so I’m just trying to keep the peace
