Joke: A Computer Guy Meets a Shepherd
A shepherd was herding his flocks in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand new Jeep Cherokee advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and a YSL tie leaned out of the window and asked the shepherd: “If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?”
The shepherd looks at the yuppie, then at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, “Sure!”
The yuppie parks the car, whips out his notebook, connects it to a cell-phone, surfs to a NASA page on the Internet where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system, scans the area, opens up a database and 60 Excel spreadsheets with complex formulas. Finally he prints out a 150 page report on his hi-tech miniaturized printer, turns round to the shepherd and says: “You have exactly 1586 sheep!”
“That is correct, take one of the sheep.” says the shepherd. He watches the young man select a sheep and bundle it in his Cherokee.
Then he says: ” If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me my sheep back?”
“Okay, why not” answers the young man.
“You are a consultant.” says the shepherd.
“That is correct” says the yuppie, “How did you guess that?”
“Easy” answers the shepherd. “You turn up here although nobody called you. You want to be paid for the answer to a question I already knew. And you don’t know bleep about my business because you took my dog.”
Dog Cone – Why do I Have a Lampshade on my Neck?
Do I look silly, or what! Why did my people do this humiliating thing to me? Well I will tell you, here is my story.
For some unexplained reason, which will remain a mystery, I injured my back feet. As soon as this was noticed by my responsible pack leaders they whisked me off to my friend Dr. McKown at Pets First Animal Clinic here in Boise.
After they scratched their heads trying to figure out how I injured myself, the doctor got down to business and used a low-tech method to look for germs. He put some tape on my foot to gather skin cells and then went out of the room. He came back to tell us that there was a bunch of bacteria on the slide indicating I had a bacterial infection. (No wonder my foot looked so red) YUCK. Dr. McKown sent us home with some medications and this interesting home decorating device which I truly enjoy wearing.
Yes, the squirrels and birds laugh at me, but I bet I can hear much better than any other creature around. I’m sure they don’t understand that I wear this cone to keep me from licking my wounds. And it works! My dog collar fits through the loops and this keeps the cone securely on my neck. I get to take it off once in awhile, but I just can’t help it some times and I start licking my feet. So back on it goes.

Boise Dog Training at Petco Recommendation
Dog trainer, Victoria, praises Maggie as she completes her 6 week basic dog training course at Petco.
For 1 hour a week Murry, Julie & Maggie focused on basic commands such as sit, stay, down, wait, come, and the all important command to stay away from CATS – “leave it!”.
Even though Maggie had some training before we adopted her, we could tell that more was needed. I would say we needed the training just as much as our pet.
During the first class we learned an important lesson to make trips in the car more enjoyable.
This is Maggie before the training — She gets into the back seat, even though she loves to ride in the car she was all over the place. Trying to get to the front seat, barking at bicycles, barking at dogs, barking at innocent mother’s pushing their baby strollers.
On the first day of training this is what we learned to do:
- We brought along a spray bottle of water to squirt Maggie when she misbehaved. It only took one time to teach her to cease and desist.
- The other method we used is the leave it command. As we passed a noisy motorcycle we would say “leave it, Maggie, leave it” and as we successfully passed by the former object of distress Maggie was praised with a “good girl” and given a treat.
It has been a few months since her graduation and Maggie is doing great. I would say the most important aspect of keeping her under control is for us to focus on our part of her training. We need to take time from our day to give her commands and praise and to take her for walks. She loves to go to the park.
We will keep up our personal training and definitely recommend Victoria as a first class trainer at Petco on Federal Way in Boise.
