Training for Delta



OK, so we are off to train at the beach in Ventura, to get rid of my ocean phobia. Not sure what there is there, cause we usually spend our beach time at Arroyo Burro in Santa Barbara...cause it's off lead there. So the humans thought they would try something new...DISASTER...IN FREAKIN' SPADES!!!

First of all, when you are afraid of the water...and then have to confront it chasing you...YEEEEESSSSSS!! CHASING YOU....RUNNING FOR MY SENSITIVE FOOTIE PADS.....YIKES....HOLY CRAP...IT WAS HORRIBLE....but the worse part was being tied to the human. If I wanted to run far away, I couldn't, I was stuck to HER!!! Talk about a stress level running on high...every DOG knows when the human tightens up on the lead it makes matters worse...we gots no where to go, not behind the human...just stuck right there out in the open to be attacked BY KILLER WAVES or whatever else, human or animal that may be out there to get me.

SHE thought she would be smart and give me this rescue remedy stuff...all it did was make things worse...I was so hyper I couldn't settle down. That's the third time she gave me this stuff, and it don't work on me. This time just one little squirt...same results, panting, uncomfy...what's HER PROBLEM? She will never give me this stuff again, I forbid it.

After we finally got away from the huge 50 foot waves, yes 50 feet...not kidding here...ok, well, maybe just a tiny bit, but hey they were big. I was afraid for all the little kids playing in it, waiting to see them all swept away. They were still playing, laughing and having fun, oblivious to the danger they were facing, when I left.

I got to visit a lot of kids up on the grass, and it was really enjoyable. I love the kids, that was a highlight of my day, and being away from the ocean made it even happier.

Oh, another thing about HER, SWMBO the BIMBO (she who must be obeyed, rhymes with bimbo...hee hee get it, snort, giggles)...she forgot my Mushers Secret and the sand was hot as can be, she otta know, she was barefoot testing it for me. We both burned the daylights outta our footie pads.

Well, that was my SO CALLED FUN DAY at the ocean.

I love my life...well, most days!!!!
