Because I Said So
I had grown weary of Blaze’s game of walk and sit, and the internet advice was getting me nowhere. So, I returned to the font of all Dog Knowledge, the Dog Whisperer. In two episodes where a dog was refusing to walk, the Dog Whisperer started at a different rate of speed. So, as Gabe told Dale, “Mom actually ran!” True, it is a very rare sight. Blaze was taken so by surprise that he never had time to pull back and sit his butt down. After a bit of dragging, he was with me. My running slowed after a bit, but every time I felt him pull back, I picked up my rate of speed. It worked. One other motivation for ending my unsuccessful attempts at coaxing, bribing, and tricking him into walking was that his amount of time as baby of the family was short lived. Patches took over the baby spot and in this family only the baby is spoiled. So, as with all my other children, Blaze had to toe the line. When all else fails, go with the old stand by: “Because I Said So!”
i wish that would have worked when I was raising you. Dad your mother made me say who the comment was from, I figured you would have known who made the comment
