I got a puppy. His name is Photon. Mom yelled at Photon. I cuddel Photon. I like to go to the puppies to pick up the puppy at Sues I watched The wether net work. It was channel twhenty. I can’t wait to go home to see the puppy. Tonight I’m going to watch Franklin.
Just to clear things up, re: yelling at Photon. We’re trying to train her largely by using positive conditioning techniques, but every time she does something we don’t want her to (mainly trying to chew something she shouldn’t) we growl sharply (but not necessarily loudly) “aaack!” or “naaah!” Jon is not used to hearing anything said sharply, and interprets it as yelling. The first day I was naah-ing at the dog Jon would dissolve into tears. He’s getting better at dealing with it, but still gets a bit upset.
