I guess that tax refund check we’ve got coming has made us giddy or something. Because when we did our weekly MalWart grocery shopping yesterday, we decided to blow ten buckaroos on the Bark Off humane bark training device.
Yup – this would do the trick; stop our sweet doggie from waking us up in the middle of the night from barking, instead of using a painful shock collar.
Yup. Every time he barks now, it will emit a high frequency sound that will annoy him and train him in not barking anymore. What a deal! Imagine, peace and quiet for just $10.
Self-Reliant Man and I pondered this for about five minutes in the store, wondering whether it would really work. Was it as good as it sounded? Could it be too good to be true? Since we cannot hear the sound, there would be no way we could verify if it was actually working, etc. All these thoughts were bounced between the two of us as we processed this grave decision together.
Okay, we did it. It was tossed into our buggy. We had finally found the barking solution.
But as soon as we got the package open at home, and the fresh new 9-volt battery installed, Chips snapped us back to reality with a simple exclamation:
Hmm. Didn’t think about that. Did you, Self-Reliant Man, think about that before tearing open the package?
Nope.
Neither did I.

Hahahaha! That's hilarious.
This is so funny! Sometimes it takes the children to make the simplest of observations.
Your son is looking much more grown up in his new picture on your side bar. Time flies; wasn't it just last month when we "met"?
