Wet T-shirt:  The shirts are not wet but they are laid out across the yard 
about 50 feet away tied in a knot.  Timed event you run down to the shirt 
dress your dog and run back.  This is no easy feat with a puppy who wants 
to roll on her back into submission and or the shirt is an extra 
large.  Very comical the run back... The boys have wet boxers (not wet) but 
you have to dress the boys with their tail out the fly and run back.

Yes it's genetic...  Come to think of it it's an improvement 
though...  Scarlette is called Houdini around here...  She can get out of 
any yard kennel ect if there is the slightest breach.  I mean she has 
gotten out of holes in the fence it's taken us hours to find the hole.  She 
once scooted under a fence at her handlers that a Jack Russell Terrier 
refused to go through.  Was running the streets of Eugene for hours was 
found two miles away in some ones house eating bon bon's on their 
couch.  Now she doesn't make these holes herself only takes full advantage 
of them.


>  How bad are you hurt Gina??

Oh I am fine today just bruised and a bit stiff.  I had Haus in my arms 
legs dangling and when we went down I went forward sort of plopped him on 
his side taking the impact with my rt knee.  Better me than Deb McFail I 
might add. :-)
