If a Dog can do it, then a skydiver can do it....

Here's an email I got from my dog RePete today:

Quote

Geez, I walk with you to the local store for some sundry items - all for you, no dog cookies for me.

You make me walk at your left side. My head can't be more than 6 inches in front of you. I stop when you stop. You make me sit. Why don't you sit at the stop light? I start walking when you start walking.

You say it's all relative work. Check the centerpoint. Yeah that would be the point between you and me. I have to constantly monitor what you are doing in order to be in the right place at the right time. If you walk faster, I have to walk faster. If you slow down, I have to slow down. If you stop, I have to stop and sit too! I have to spend most of the time watching you. I want to check out the other dogs and people and cats and interesting smelling things along the way. I can't do that if you require attention 90% of the time.

I see other dogs walking around that lead their masters around. They yank on the lead and pull their masters to where the hot doggies are. Why can't I do that?

I think you are being unfair to me.

I replied that if a skydiver could do it, then a dog should be able to do it.

You know, my dog's weakest link is not looking across the formation. Everytime he turns his head out, he no longer stays relative...

I wanna know how you're getting email from your dog...

My dog isn't very good at heeling yet... but with "practice" I hope she will be some day (she's also only 4/5 months old...)

that's what skydivers need to do to get better as well... part of it is always looking at the formation (so you know where you need to be...) so you make good points...

For $50 per day, I'll jump with your dog.

If your dog can send you an e-mail... he should be a sensai of staying relative. I have problems getting mine to not shit on the carpet.

An I keep my dog on a long leash, when the leash goes slack I know it's time to pull
