Bitch Slapped!

2 #1's; 1 #2; 1 bitch slap

Started out as a nice enough morning.

Ginger was very good on our walk this morning. Too bad it was a short walk b/c I woke up later than I should have and I really had to be "on time" for work today.

While "working" for her breakfast, she refused to do the "bow" I had nicely asked her to do. Instead she gave me attitude and jumped on me! That bitch! (well, this really isn't name calling since she really is a bitch!) Too bad I wasn't fast enough to grab her so I had to chase her down. Man, she's fast! I was PISSED! I finally grabbed her by the rear leg, which immediately made her go in the "down" position. I gave her a little smack (don't worry, it probably didn't hurt her as I pat her on her back/side much heartier and she loves it) and when I got hold of her collar I made her lie on her side to "submit" to me. I actually had to take a seat on the stairs while I calmed myself down b/c I was SO mad (and probably tired after chasing her down). Once we both calmed down, I made her do a couple of easy tricks (probably a wave and a shake), we made up and then I let her eat her breaky. Aaahhh! Life with an adolescent dog!
