Eleven Eleven Eleven

I had to wait for the updates to my computer to complete, then for the web to load, then for the blog to load, and then I typed in quick, my eye to my wall clock, the time on it nearing Eleven PM,  Eleven Eleven Eleven, and clicked on publish...success!, I thought, but the time date for this blog post is 11/11/15, 10:01 PM Pacific Standard Time...hmmph...apparently Time has fallen back an hour without me knowing...anyway, the notion is still there, it's Veterans Day, best wishes to them!...the Great War, WW1 ended on the Eleventh hour of the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month...11/11/...was it eighteen or nineteen?...and the hour?..am or pm?...brb...

day and time world war one ended

On Nov. 11, 1918, fighting in World War I came to an end following the signing of an armistice between the Allies and Germany that called for a ceasefire effective at 11 a.m.– it was on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

afternoon blog time taken up with house cleaning chores, and the start of Maya's fence...I've got me a post hole digger, and have one hole soaking to soften the soil so I can dig it down about two feet...After dark, I sat on a Home Depot bucket with Maya on leash in the front yard...I can sorta make her sit with treats in the house...have been doing that a long time now...but sitting out front was like the real world...she sat quite beside me for the most part, but now and then she would start to pester me to play her rough play, and I've learned from reading on the web, in training for prey instinct gone bad dogs, that it is the scent of the treat you are using for training that plays a big part...give one's dog the scent, and divert them from the unwanted behavior...and that was working...I was using hot dog pieces, and I would put my fist holding one closer to her, and say sit...and she will sit, and stay, for a short time...then when she plays again, I do the same, and she'll sit...this without giving her the treat, just the scent in my closed fist...when she stays a good long moment, I then give her a piece of hot dog...or a small milk dud...found a use for all the left over Halloween candy!...but when neighbors walk by, this is the real test...she runs out to the end of the leash...my command to sit has no effect in that excitement...but that's the goal, I can see, if I keep doing this sitting on the bucket in the front yard!...I'm wanting her to sit when ever I say sit, or anyone says sit...or down...getting her to lay down in this fashion too would be good...

 

didn't do my web browses either...go see now what's afoot on the Eastern Front...
