vanity_no_fair and I went to see Beowulf today. She said it wasn't as good as she'd hoped, but I wasn't disappointed because I'd never seen a movie in 3D before. I also like dragons and Vikings, so it was pretty cool to me, if only for that

WELL WHAT'S THE CONCLUSION TO THE STORY? DID SHE KEEP IT OR TAKE IT BACK?

SHE KEPT IT OF COURSE

IT'S ALL LIES

DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THIS LESBIAN SAYS!!

On a more serious note, I felt conducting an experiment with the collar to determine the intensity of the 'correction' was the humane thing to do. Thank you all for laughing at my attempt to pass myself off as a person of compassion.

Though I did tell Erin the Terrible the collar is for one of my pets, it's REALLY FOR HER!! MERRY CHRISTMAS! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!?!? :bzzt: ouch.

So my burning question is: Do these collars work? B/c my sister went and put in one of those underground fences-with-collar contraptions and it seemed really pricey and extravagant. And it did nothing on the barking end, so I am genuinely curious. (And still amused by the mental imagery in Erin's post, sry. ^^)

Well.... the underground fence system will only keep the dog within a defined parameter (ie: your yard). They are not designed to assist with barking. Once the dog is near the concealed wiring, a correction signal is emitted. They also use flags during the first week or two as part of the conditioning process to help the dog learn to stay away from the edge of the defined space. If they try to cross over the border, the signal increases in intensity, forcing the dog back into the safe area.

The anti-barking collar solely relies on the vibration from the dog's (ahem- or person's) vocal cords. When a vibration is detected, the collar emits a correction which startles the dog (or person, in my case) and stops the nuisance noises. I hope this helps!

If I were a crazy lesbian like Erin, I'd change my name to Mister Rogers- or Clarissa!

lfmkmjgdogfsbjhjs i was laughing all through that story

i have also shocked myself with a dog collar and made similar noises but for a much less noble cause (mine was more like "oh really you got that for your dog? is that how it works? here let me try bark BARK BARKRRFHGGFHGFHHGHGGFH")

Hi, my name is _______ and I shock myself with dog collars. The first time I tried it was 2 years ago, when my mom bought a Jack Russell terrier...

linds had this cute game called nintendogs. when i was visiting her and kasey, she cooed at it and made all sorts of "COME HERE PUPPY, COME HERE AWWWWWW THAT'S A GOOD PUPPY" noises and talked to it constantly

kasey did it too but not as much

i guess linds was setting herself up for that kind of thing

I laughed so hard that I read it first myself and then had to share it with my roommate and my friend on the phone in Florida and he laughed too.

THIS IS A NATIONAL GIGGLE FEST.
