jest on immigrants :)

Russel peters is a Comedian.

Canadian Indian and make fun of everybody who are immigrants and their attitudes. he don't leave anyone in his comedy act. Indians, Chinese, Jamaicans, Africans, Canadians, Arabs, even his mom and dad and their accents.

when i moved to States i never liked comedians in this country, because they are making fun of other person or some ethnic groups and felt so offended but years passed by gradually i am the biggest fan of these comedy shows and enjoying thoroughly, since it is true what they are saying! and such a relief when laughing so hard at ourselves.

doggy training

Snowball (our 4month old coton de tulear) is doing great and we all enjoying his company.

Naturally he is well behaved dog, doing his best pleasing us, listening us, eating, pooping, peeing, sleeping,chewing and 

being healthy. 

no complains about him, but he mush have some complains about US.
he is patiently waiting somebody make some house rules for him.

we are still pampering him since he is new and young, if it's cold outside or raining no one interested to take him out

so we are dangerously confusing him where he should go to poop or pee!

four of us have different opinions about every single situation, like 

training, who is going to walk him, who is going to play this time, feed him, the most important thing discipline him.

we didn't give him specific rules, bathroom place, commands to sit, stay, come, 

 go to his kennel, 
or haven't decide who is the leader!
No one surrendered to no one yet (balance between human and dog) we are still in the process of deciding that and applying in real life.

if we continue like this for a while he is going to decide to be our leader and we are going to be doomed and become his human pets for the rest of his life and that's for 14 years!
that's not gonna happen in my watch!!

Yesterday i went to library for some books and my eye caught on a 6 disk DVD set, i heard about the dog whisperer through media before, like always I got curious and bought the DVD home.
we sit as a family and watched first Disk and we were amazed of Cesar's talent and his techniques. 


 balancing life needs commitment and 100% effort. 
parenting, being a better person in any relationship, good employee what not everything.
it's all in your mind.
if you stood up and tell what you want that's what you get, but HOW you ask? is the real challenge:) because it changes from person to person and animal to human.
Dog whisperer show me that, simple body language, commands, signals make the dog understand that you are the leader and every dog likes to be under pack leader! when ever you show your weaker side then and there he become your leader.
my family decided that i should be the leader and trainer.
since i am so natural bossing people around ruthlessly (according to every one in the family)
why not the dog as well;)
my daughter does what ever sonwball wants, so he likes being around her, with in my watch we have to adjust this whole thing and train him together Cesar's way before it gets too late.
