A WALK IN THE PARK...

YOU DIDN'T REALLY THINK I WOULD JUST STEP INTO THE PATH OF DANGER LIKE THAT DID YOU? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THE VERY FIRST THING I DID WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THOSE GATES AND CLAIMED THE PALACE AS MY OWN, WAS TEACH DEE & THE BIG GUY,

'THE LOOK DOWN!'

WHEN TAUGHT PROPERLY,

THE 'LOOK DOWN' CAN BE AN INVALUABLE AND LIFE-SAVING TOOL,

 WHEN YOUR AN ITSY-BITSY DITZY LIKE ME!

FOR MY HUMAN READERS...

NOW MIGHT BE A REALLY GOOD TIME TO GO GET ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE,

SO I CAN REACH OUT TO ANY OF MY CANINE BLOGGING FRIENDS, 

WHO MIGHT NOT BE AWARE THAT A COURSE LIKE THIS IS EVEN AVAILABLE?

I'M TRYING TO GET A UTILITY PATENT ON THE AP FOR IT BUT, UNTIL THEN,

 ALL I CAN DO...IS SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS IN MY BLOG!

 

 SO...

THIS IS HOW YOU TRAIN HUMANS TO DO THE 'LOOK-DOWN'..

EVERY TIME A HUMAN WALKS ANYWHERE NEAR YOU, AT ALL!

YOU YELP LIKE THEY ALREADY STEPPED ON YOU,

 AND ARE ABOUT TO DO IT AGAIN!

 YOU GOTTA SCREAM LIKE A WOUNDED COYOTE!

 BELIEVE ME! 

THEY'RE NOT GONNA KNOW IF THEY STEPPED ON YOU OR NOT!

 BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THIS...

THEY'RE SURE GONNA 'LOOK DOWN' THINKING THEY DID!

 ALTHOUGH 3 APPLICATIONS FOR EACH HUMAN PER HOUSEHOLD IS RECOMMENDED, MANY SMALL DOGS SEE RESULTS IMMEDIATELY!

 DON'T  BE STEPPED ON OR ACCIDENTALLY KICKED EVER AGAIN!

 LEGAL DISCLAIMER

ALL CLAIMS OF 'THE LOOK DOWN PROCEDURE' BEING AN EFFECTIVE HUMAN TRAINING TOOL,

 HAVE NOT BEEN EVALUATED OR APPROVED BY THE F.D.A.

 (FAMILY DOGS AGENCY,) 

 SMALL DOG'S ATTEMPTING THIS TRAINING, SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR VET FIRST, 

TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO BE STEPPED ON OR ACCIDENTALLY KICKED.

SOME SIDE EFFECTS OF BEING STEPPED ON OR ACCIDENTALLY KICKED MAY INCLUDE,

 SORE PAWS, ELEVATED HEART RATE. FLATTER NOSES AND BROKEN TOE-NAILS.

 IN SOME CASES, ALTHOUGH RARE, SOME SMALL DOGS MAY EXPERIENCE DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION,

 UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE WALL OR PIECE OF FURNITURE THEY'RE HEADING FOR.

BLOGGER SHALL NOT BE HELD  LIABLE FOR INJURIES OCCURRING IN SMALL DOGS,

 WHO MAY NOT BE SMART ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENTAL 'FOOTING' IN THE FIRST PLACE!

 SO, AS I AM SURE YOU HAVE SURMISED BY NOW, 

OBVIOUSLY THE BIG GUY DID LOOK DOWN AND SEE ME, AND LET ME AND MOLLY OUT.

LIKE YOU COULD MISS THESE EARS RIGHT?

 

I'M JUST SAYING...

WHEN I HAVE MY EARS AT 'FULL-UP', 

LIKE THIS...

 

 I AM INSTANTLY, 19 % MORE VISIBLE, 

THAN I WOULD BE WITH MY EARS SAY,

LIKE THIS!

NOW ANOTHER POSITION I SOMETIMES PUT MY EARS IN,
IN ORDER TO HELP INCREASE MY VISIBILITY WHEN THE HUMANS ARE AROUND, 

IS ONE I LIKE TO CALL THE 'STARBOARD-PORT!'

ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS THE 'FULL-UP,'

 IT STILL INCREASES SMALL DOG VISIBILITY IN MOST HOMES,

 BY MORE THAN A STAGGERING 8.% OVERALL!

YOU GOTTA LOVE THOSE NUMBERS RIGHT!

 (YOU'RE NOT REALLY BUYING ANY OF THIS ARE YOU?)

 WHEN I GOT OUTSIDE,

 MERLIN AND MOLLY WERE DOWN AT THE OTHER END THE PORCH,

 TRACKING A SQUIRREL, WHOSE LACK OF FENCE-SKIRTING ABILITIES,

 HAD CAUGHT THEIR ATTENTION!

 

THE MINUTE I SAT DOWN ON THE STEPS,

  

 AND STARTED LOOKING FOR TIKA,

  DEE COMES TO THE BACK DOOR CALLING US ALL BACK INTO THE HOUSE,

SO WE COULD ALL GET READY TO GO TO THE DOG PARK!

 

  MOLLY WAS THE FIRST ONE BACK IN THE HOUSE, AS USUAL,
BUT YOU CAN BET YER BOTTOM DOLLAR,

 WE WERE ALL FILING IN ONE AFTER THE OTHER, RIGHT BEHIND HER!

 

A FEW MINUTES LATER WE WERE LOADED UP IN THE TRUCK LIKE LUGGAGE,

AND ABOUT TO BE ON OUR WAY Y'ALL!

 ME AND MOLLY SAT UP IN THE FRONT WITH DEE AND THE BIG GUY,

WHILE MERLIN,

 TIKA,

AND KACI

WERE ALL IN THE BACK SEAT,

 (WHERE THE 'NOT SO SPECIAL' DOGS GO!)

MOLLY WAS PRETENDING LIKE SHE WAS JUST LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW, 

 BUT I KEPT CATCHING HER LOOKING OVER AT THE BIG GUY, 

AND PAYING REAL CLOSE ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING HE DID,

 TO MAKE THE TRUCK GO.

 HMMMM...

SHE EVEN LOOKED BACK OVER HER SHOULDER,

JUST LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WHEN YOU'RE BACKING UP!

 THEN SHE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE NOTHING WAS COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION LIKE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO TOO!

SHE ALSO SEEMED TO KNOW ALL ABOUT LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FROM TIME TO TIME TOO!

NOT ME Y'ALL!

 AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PHOTO..I AM EYE'S ON THE ROAD Y'ALL! 

I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT OUR DAY AT THE PARK NEXT TIME...BYE NOW!
