I should probably give warnings every time I post, because I feel like I'm potentially offensive to someone at all times.
I went to the fair, (yay funnel cake!). I was wearing a shirt, actually, I am still wearing it right now, that says WTF, and under it, it says What's The Function? It's a behavior analysis shirt. The parking attendant asked what the last word was. She was pretty relived to hear what it was, but she actually thought I was young enough that my mom (who I was with) could have done something if it had said a different F word.
There was a pretty cool trick dog show, Mutts Gone Nuts. My niece seemed to like it, as did all the kids. Even though I know how they trained all of it, and I know they specifically trained the dogs to make the "mistakes" it was still pretty cool. They also talk about how they train the dogs to do that stuff, show a bit of a demo of how to teach your own dog to catch frisbees, and they talked about how they train the dogs to do the tricks. They also talk about checking into what type of dog you are getting at first, so you don't get a dog that is too much for your household. All the dogs in the show are rescued. A little Border Collie mix in the show got returned 4 times to the shelter before they got her, because she's destructive if she's not active enough. Hopefully at least one family in the audience got the part about getting an appropriate dog for your home.
