WHO'S THE BOSS?

I honestly don't know.  Isn't that a said thing to admit?  I've been working with Harley for over two weeks, and he still refuses to come when I call.  He runs just outside my reach when I try to pick him up.  And he is having accidents minutes after we come back in from our walks (where he does go potty).  I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.  I've followed the instructions I was given by my puppy training teacher.  And it just doesn't seem to be working for me.

Yesterday Harley gave me a scare, and everyone in the vet office a laugh.  Actually they were laughing at me.  Harley was doing his usual bump and grind with the blue bear and suddenly he yelped.  I ran over to him and to my surprise there was something protruding from his privates.  As I had no idea what it was, I freaked, grabbed him up, hopped in my car and drove to the vet.  By the time we got there, what ever it was has withdrawn.  Luckily for me a very nice vet happened to be walking through the waiting area.  And as is always the case with Harley she stopped to pet and admire him.  I told her what I saw and she, with the slightest of giggles informed me that what I saw was his private part.  She said he probably got himself so excited that he got stuck.  I told her I had no idea his private extended and withdrew with his excitement level.  She said that's exactly how it worked.  To which I replied, "I not had any boys in my house in a long time, so I had no idea!"  Needless to say I was so embarrassed.  But the family at the counter got a good laugh.  So home we went.  And I immediately took away anything I had ever seen him having fun with, for fear of a re-occurrence.

Afterwards I felt like such a smuck.  But I got myself together, packed up some knitting and headed out to S n B with the girls.  Where I re-told the story at least twice.

Yesterday I finished my first "Nanner" sock,by the lovely Wendy of Wendy Knits made available for her friends in the Plurk community.  For those who don't know, Plurk is an on-line social networking community.
I must say, I love Plurk.  It's a total time drain, but I love it.  It has allows me to learn more people I only knew from their blogs.  And it gives me an outlet for when I don't have a full blog post.

This morning I decided to start a pair of socks using one of the sock blanks from Knit Picks I dyed last week with Miss J..
I think Harley was drawn to the smell of Kool Aid.
I had read a lot of conflicting opinions of the blanks, but decided to give them a chance.  I have to say, I like them so far.  Dying them was a lot of fun, and the kinks have not caused any issues for me, yet.  First chance I get, I've got to get more and dye them up as gifts for friends.

I hope you all have a nice weekend.  I'm off to do some more knitting.
