Not letting the puppy jump and chew on me. He doesn't listen to me, just like all babies. The species doesn't matter, nobody listens to me.

Got lots of bite marks on my arm today.

I even got the puppy to jump in my lap. By making a noise. He jumped all the way in my lap, and was inspecting my face, where the noise was coming from. It was funny. I might do that again. Bodhi was barking when the puppy was in my lap.

I won't be getting a puppy, they'd chew all my cords up and pee and poop everywhere.

Hmm, might not just be babies that don't listen to me. Tonka didn't listen to me. She didn't pee inside or chew anything up though. But if she was outside, and didn't want to come inside, she'd just stay out there and ignore me. My mom had to go outside and get her, cause I refused to do it. That's why she didn't listen to me. I never did anything. To give her a reason to listen.

If I had to potty train her, she wouldn't stop shitting inside, I wouldn't spank her, even if 200 people told me I had to.

I'd get her inside eventually. Well, sometimes you could get her to come by saying we are going home, I think. But that didn't keep working, she figured out we weren't serious. Except, sometimes we might have been going home. She clearly liked living with me, but also liked laying outside. I probably didn't want to step in dog poop, you might if you go in the yard. Also, probably didn't want to interfere with her outside time, that I subconsciously knew about. But wasn't actually thinking about.

After she died, I realized, I should have sat outside with her. Should have taken her on a small walk almost everyday, and found a bench to sit on. She would have learned what "sit outside" means. And she'd probably react more to that then asking her if she wants to go on a walk, as it would be two things. Short walk and sitting outside for a while. In the winter the sitting down outside wouldn't have happened, but she could have still went on a walk.

Too bad I didn't realize that before she died.

I'll probably realize a lot more stuff when I die someday.
