So I come home from work. The yard smells like skunk, eww. Then I notice Tripper's walking around out front...ffffff-
Fortunately I was able to handle it fairly well, showering him upstairs with the tomato V8 left over from last time. I think it worked better this time because I got him right away, and he only got hit in one spot. It was a very dramatic ordeal though, he refused to look at me the whole time, or move anywhere I wanted him to, just standing there with his head down. I do not understand a dog that loves swimming and loves to be wet, but hates being bathed/showered, regardless of water temperature...he'll dive readily into a filthy lake, but the shower or the hose? TORTUREEE.
He loves being dried off though, or more accurately, sharing his wetness with everybody :P as soon as I got out a towel and started drying him, I was his best friend again. And then while I showered myself (since I had just gotten home from work) he rolled all over the bathroom rug, then ran downstairs to rub himself on Paige and the couches despite only being damp...he also only gets the zoomies when he's wet :P
Okay I am using this entry to get some interview questions to Amanda that she's helpfully answering for me...although if anybody else wants to answer them (or even just a few of them) that would be very helpful :D comments are screened for privacy on this entry.
1. What do you think about the high-speed rail?
2. Do you agree that high-speed rail will stimulate the economy and create more jobs?
3. Does the high-speed rail benefit the environment?
5. Do you support the plan to build the high-speed rail in your country or state?
7. Do you think the building of the high-speed rail is a good use of funds?
9. How do you price the high-speed ticket in comparison with the regular rail and airline tickets?
10. Should the U.S. and China open up all their markets for multi-national companies to bid on high-speed rail construction projects or should they keep the high-speed rail construction projects for their own countries and protect their industries and jobs?
12. How can the U.S. and China cooperate on the high-speed rail to achieve benefits for both?
13. Do you prefer American or Chinese brands? Why?
14. Rate the American manufactured products in terms of quality, price, service and brand.
15. Rate the Chinese manufactured products in terms of quality, price, service and brand.
17. What advice would you give Chinese companies doing business in foreign markets?
18. What factors do you consider important in the U.S.-China relationship?
