Devil Dog, A DT Card & Some Candy

Hello peeps,

I have been a busy girl "trying" to train this mad puppy of ours! Sit & paw, toilet training, stay etc all ticked off he's a good boy with that, but overall he is a flipping nightmare!
We are not new to having dogs we've had 2 Labrador's both rescued & needed lots of help & confidence boosting, my stunning 12 & a half stone Dogue De Bordeaux X English Mastiff who I absolutely adored (think Turner & Hooch & that was Judge), the most loving & loyal dog I've ever known my little shadow Frodo who was a Staffie, Dude who is cross Springer, Jack Russel, Terrier & goodness knows what else & is an angel, he doesn't even need to be told what to do he is just so good & only ever needs a lead when we take him shopping in Pets at Home to pick his own treats, and then there's .............. Damien Jester!!!!

Hubby absolutely adores him, but they do say love is blind lol. Jester only ever behaves for hubby which is strange!!! Hubbs won't use a Halti to stop him pulling on the lead as he says Jester "doesn't need it & doesn't like it" Apparently Jester is always a good boy up the park & across the fields!!!! Hubby seems to be the only one who doesn't need to jump around like an idiot waving an arm around and blowing the dog whistle trying to attract Jester's attention while he blissfully does exactly as he pleases and Jester most certainly "does not need to go to dog training classes" according to hubby as none of our other dogs needed to, & when I tell him Jester's meat & 2 veg is being removed to hopefully calm him down, well that sends him right over the edge & he pales significantly lol.

As I do love the naughty pup & I want to enjoy him more I've been reading countless books & articles on dog training & my plan is - forget the Halti, I'm getting him a straight jacket, employ a dog walker for when hubby is at work & I'll just walk Dude, book him a nice little holiday for at least a month in Dog Borstal & I'll collect him when he is well behaved, book him in to the vets for the removal of his bits, & make sure my last will & testament is up-to-date for when hubby sees this photo and reads my plan of action  lol. There could well be hundreds of Magnolia's up for auction on ebay soon ha ha ha.

As some of you know when I'm tired I don't get grumpy I just really waffle on and become even more stupid than usual, nobody can get any sense out of me lol. I was still catching up with emails at 2am as I couldn't sleep as pins & needles in my arm were driving me mad, by 3am I was reaching for chocolate & must have nodded off eating it as it was melted on my face & chest when I woke up this morning, so choclolate really does make everything better as it cured my insomnia lol.
