Lotion to help you fall asleep

I told him he needed to stay until Harper had his Senior Barn Hunt title, and his AKC Championship. He left us 13 days after those were accomplished.

You can see some videos of the Boy at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dz58 ... pPHP20mT_w

although neither my husband nor I are particularly good videographers!

Thanks for the link, Kira. I know next to nothing about dog shows, so the videos were interesting. One question: What's actually in the containers that the dogs are hunting for around the bales of hay?

Ummm a bit confused about how you say

Have you tried this lotion/potion? Used it? Can you recommend it? Well sure seems you are. Can you explain how it works?

Rats. Real, live rats. The rats are unharmed -- and in fact, I have 14 rats who are partners in Barn Hunt training. They argue over who gets to go in the tubes first. (There was one rat who entertained himself by grabbing a piece of straw and twirling it around so the straw went thumpa-thumpa up and down like he was opening and closing an umbrella under it. Freaked the heck out of some of the dogs.) My ratties know they get Good Treats when they go in the tube, AND that they get Good Treats when they are found, AND when they go back into their main cage. I even have rats who can tell the difference between a Novice dog and a Master dog -- they'll sit dead still and really make the dog work at it if they're a Master. But a Novice, they'll give the dog about thirty seconds, and then start chittering at it. "Over here, stupid dog! Get over here and put your paw on my tube so we BOTH get a treat! Over here, stupid dog!"

The Master level that Harper competes at has a random number of rats, from 1-5. There are a total of eight tubes on the course, so if there are three rats, say, there will be five "litter" tubes -- tubes with used rat litter in it so it smells like a rat, but isn't. The dog thus has to distinguish between Rat and Smells-Like-Rat. Harper has 4 minutes, 30 seconds to search an area roughly 24' x 24' (in Downsville, it's 19' x 30') and three bales high, find however many rats there are, do a tunnel (which has from 2-5 90 degree turns in it, and it's pitch black inside), do a climb (all four feet off the ground) and then indicate to me, "Hey, Missy, the course is clear!" and I have to call CLEAR. (I don't know how many rats there are.) Harper is better at finding the rats than I am at calling CLEAR.

Barn Hunt is based on the former role of many farm dogs who protected stored grain and foodstuffs from vermin. It is open to ALL dogs -- they do not have to be pure-bred. They just have to register with the Barn Hunt Association, BHA.

The rest of what Harper does is Conformation -- a beauty pageant, if you will. Who does the judge think most closely conforms to the standard of what an ideal Dachshund looks like?

So my Boy is not only gorgeous, he has Brains and a Nose, besides.

Have to wonder why this was deleted? Someone wants to be the "Editor in Chief" here and allow only their thoughts and ideas? Kinda self centered don'tcha think?

I suggest you ask Carolyn about who deleted it. Lots of "editors-in-chief" around here, last I checked.

Guilty conscious?
Didn't ask who? What was asked is

Guest wrote:Have to wonder why this was deleted?

I should note that 5 posts were deleted last nite. That was only one of the five.

Yeah, that makes sense. My guilty conscience prompted me to repost something that I originally deleted.

Oh, my! Call the CPAP police!

There's not enough wonder in the world these days, so rock on!

That's right...this "BleepingBeauty" no longer has a spam button because?

Well let me say what I think happen then.
BB got caught playing "Editor in Chief" and lost her spam button. She didn't like that so took her ball and went home.

Then decided to create a new ID to get another "Spam Delete Button". Who knows just how many of these alter IDs she has. So Fast-Forward to the other day.
She decided to post some questionable links using her BB Id and when she was called out on it thru a childish hissy fit saying

BleepingBeauty wrote:I appreciate your sentiments. But if anyone thinks that I, a member here since 2009, would post spam, they're deluded - especially if it's someone with almost 23K posts, who should know better, FFS.

I feel sorry for noobs.

But that doesn't give her any rights to post what others thought was spam.
Followed by deleting at least 5 others posts in this thread with her alter Ids. Who knows just how many other things she has deleted on this forum using this method.

She then throws another childish hissy fit took her ball and went home. Anyone starting to see a pattern here? And the cycle continues.

Before this she did have quite the tantrum over the presiduncy election. I think that is where she got caught playing "Editor in Chief" deleting posts she didn't agree with.

Which makes me wonder just why xxyzx never posted in this thread like she has done in so many other threads just to argue & irritate the people? I am by no means an expert on angry people but it seems they often live alone, gee I wonder why.

4937 -- are you aware that once you register it takes around 90 days before you get a spam button?

A Good thing the Spam Button doesn't come with a Nuclear option, it would really get noisy around here.

A Editor-in-Chief's Dream! Jim
