E collar training

It was odd H never wanted out in the night nor had she come in by 7:30 when S got up to pee UNTIL I remembered S let H back in last night as we were finishing our Yellowstone trilogy. Sure enough he had locked her in her kennel and forgot to let her out. Poor Harley. Of course she was happy to get out, not happy to go outside though but did wait patiently occasionally holding my hand in bed til she got breakfast after 8:30.

S got the coffee going and 1 in bed before moving to the island and me the computer. I put a second coat of white on the plant pot and left to dry. I watched quite a few e-collar videos to prep for trying it on H. She and I went out at 11 to walk and work thru the positive reinforcement with the tone. As we were walking down the lane Britt and Cooper drove in, he jumped out with us while she went to feed the horses who were waiting at the yard gate.

The tone work went well as there was liver involved but when her and Coop headed off after a scent the no with a vibrate which moved to a shock had no affect. I did zap myself and it was a bit of a tingle but nothing to her. Back at the house I tested it on S and he could hardly feel anything either. He had come out to secure the tree stakes. B and I gave the horses dewormer and tested the vibrate mode which again was an epic fail. Back to the videos and online research later.

S jumped on the quad and ran the harrows around the last areas  needing it before putting them away till spring. It sure looks better. He headed inside for Sunday sports. B hung out with the horses rasping a few feet and taking chubby Roo for a walk. I looped the yard for dog poop then was going to load the corkboard in B's car but see it had an edge dinged probably to and from the market so that needed repairing. I then pulled out new projects to work on starting with the little magazine rack table. It was scrubbed thoroughly then the lifting veneer glued and clamped.

I put the painted echelons in the dresser, perfect.

and finally opened the paint package I picked up from the gate on that uber windy day

I had S come help me haul out the desk Kaylin had been using and got it scrubbed. I also had S removed the hardware so I could clean all then helped me move it back to dry area after I hand dried it all. Time to make supper of mushroom chicken and roasted veggies. 

After we ate, S headed to TV room and I to computer to do todays blog but heard the cash register chime!! YEAH finally and Etsy sale, it has been 3 months since a sale there. So I got it and found a box it fit then gave it a fresh coat of wax. Shaina arrived home with one of her plants from Banff that was not fairing so well around 7:30 as I was doing this. She ate her share of supper then off to her suite. I made a Hometalk post for the oval coffee table from few months back. I have allot to catch up it seems.
