Pain in the Neck<\/strong>
\nFebruary 16th 2007<\/em><\/p>\n

Walking has not been very fun lately.<\/p>\n

Both the Pungent-One<\/em> and the Female<\/em> in my pack have started to jerk<\/em> my leash<\/a> during walks. Sometimes this happens very often. <\/p>\n

\"Walks
Walks are more fun without the constant pain in the neck.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n

It is painful especially when the Pungent-Male<\/em> does it. When the-Female<\/em> one does it, it is merely annoying. I am getting really irritated<\/em> by this. <\/p>\n

For now, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. They seem pretty clueless and do not know any better. But this cannot continue indefinitely – ultimately, I am going to have to show them the error of their ways. <\/p>\n

\n

It is exactly behavior like this that makes 2-legs strange, incomprehensible, and untrustworthy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

2-legs do not understand that if I wanted to, I could also use aversive techniques on them, and I am much better and more accurate at applying my bites<\/em><\/a> than they will ever be. <\/p>\n

\"I
I am much better and more accurate at applying aversive techniques than 2-legs will ever be. Look at my teeth!<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

If they do not want me to bite them, then it is only fair that they show me the same courtesy.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

But 2-legs is only 2-legs. They are slow to learn, so I will give them some time. <\/p>\n

Plus, they give me cheese … For the sake of cheese I will be patient, use small words, and speak very slowly. I will go now and have a dream about cheese … ummmm CHEESE. <\/p>\n

\nShiba Wisdom<\/strong>
\nDear 2-legs,<\/p>\n

You have thin skin, weak legs, and small teeth. You cannot run very fast, are easily hurt, and have weak, inaccurate bites. In a fair physical fight, you cannot win. So why do you choose this way of fighting? <\/p>\n

I have been doing some reading on 2-legs and I know you have big brains and can do some things better than I can – like make cheese! If I were you I would focus on brain and cheese skills<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If you choose to fight, and force me to fight back, then everybody will lose in the end.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"If
If you choose to fight, and force me to fight back, then everybody will lose. If you give me trust and respect, I will also return in kind.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
