— Ace I don't see many details, but apparently this large dog, "Emmet Thunderpaws," greets his master, returning from deployment.
In related news, Rick Perry just emailed to say "a huge black dog jumps up on our soldier."
Thanks to gg.

It's obvious that Dollard never trained an animal. If he had he would know that rewards reinforce the behavior.
You know, it would probably be a good idea for animal training to be in school curriculum somewhere, it's an important lesson to learn.

Animal training? That's Psychology 101.
Rewarding bad behavior only gets you more of the same.
Disclosure: I had Psych 101 in High School and almost got thrown out of class for suggesting that the answer to gang violence was a readier supply of weaponry for gang members.

I'm not going to comment on her attitude one way or the other- since I certainly don't know. I'm just exasperated at the idea that TLC should keep the show going (which is probably floundering in the ratings, or they wouldn't be cancelling it) just because "she'll have to look for a job."

Researchers at the Robert Gordon University have completed a study that addresses the link between climate change and obesity.
The academics suggest that global weight loss would result in a drop in the production of the major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO(2)).

Title is "Why IÂ’m Done With Sarah Palin"
Final paragraph begins:
*I am a concerned conservative* who believes the White House and Senate are in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats who maintain a fundamentally different vision as to what kind of nation we were meant to be and ought to be. The crucial election is fifteen months away and as such it is time for the GOP to get serious.

Love this video and all of soldiers/Marines coming home. Thunderpaws knew he was out there before he saw him and that was so cool.
I love dogs, especially big dawgs, little yappy ones not so much (I do like Eddie on Fraiser). I know my dog is in heaven waiting on us to hurry up and give him some more treats (Goldens are never, ever satisfied when it comes to food).
Re: our moron Vietnam Vets, thank you for your service. My cousin was in the Army somewhere in the jungles over there, riding helicopters. Our entire family greeted him at the airport with signs, much to his great embarassment, but I am sure he appreciated it. Thankfully he did not witness one of my brothers throwing up on a businessman's shoes who was waiting to catch a flight.
