My dogs have trained me because they outnumber me 2 to 1.
Plus they are so little that I am not in any way intimidated by them.
This is why I have always had Chihuahua's.

When I met Boss Dog he smelled the fear in me.
 
I’m a bit sore from yesterday’s gym activities. I liked the trainer but he wants me to meet another trainer he just hired. This one rides and specializes in post surgery PT folk. I need to rebuild my core strength and balance.

wfh again but I need to go into my office today to input data.
I had a supervisor who once said that nothing is finished until the paperwork is done.
 
Already... :wtf

It is Friday. You are your own boss so do wanna something. Maybe go ride butter?
It's a conflicting feeling, I'm sure you know it well @budman :thumbup It was hard to pull into the office. The RR was whispering in my ear. The sportbike rider and CTS V I saw didn't help, either. But I am behaving today, mostly :laughing
 
Yep. My kid is in Sebastopol and smoke from teh Woodside fire is hammering that part of Sonoma County
Started late yesterday and still smoky today.

Have sealed up the house and running our three air purifiers on full.

We've had far worse of course but it still sucks to not have the ability to use the whole house fan in the evening.
 
These guys are wonderful
Thanks for the info! Out of my area, but interesting. I'm gonna have to pay our trainer to walk him a few times a week and break him of his leash pulling. Under normal circumstances, I would do it myself, but every time I walk him the little bastard hurts me!
 
155 here on Purple Air.

We have a sensor in the backyard that reports to them.

AQI Number Ranges
    • 0–50 (Good): Air is clean; little to no risk.
    • 51–100 (Moderate): Acceptable air, but sensitive people may feel mild effects.
    • 101–150 (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups): Children, older adults, and people with heart/lung issues should cut back on outdoor exertion.
    • 151–200 (Unhealthy): Everyone may start to feel health effects.
    • 201–300 (Very Unhealthy / Purple): Health alert; risk increases for everyone.
    • 301+ (Hazardous / Maroon): Emergency conditions; everyone should avoid outside activity. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 
I recently listened to an interesting podcast (huberman) on dog training. A concept that I did not know (or fully grasp) is that every litter of pups has one single "pack leader", the alpha (first born male), and the rest are all "followers". The followers are naturally much easier to train and much less defiant... but the leaders naturally want to be in charge all the time. This makes total sense! Our Labrador before Max was one of the last two pups of his litter... and he was a breeze to train. Max was the largest male of his litter and the breeder commented he was the first born and the first to walk away from mom. Bruno was also the largest male and the first born, and he was obviously in total charge of his litter mates. Both Max and Bruno have pushed me to my absolute limits as pups, and in exactly the same ways... deviance, testing the limits, never backing down.:mad
Knowing this now, if I was ever to get another puppy, I may opt to not pick the "leader". However, I also suspect that once you make it thru puppy hell, that a mature "leader" may be the better dog in certain ways (intelligence, confidence, protectiveness, etc). It was quite an ah-ha moment for me.
