Yorkie n me. Secret hand signals. Didnt tell the wife.

That pretty well sums it. In '19, our 16 yr old Schnoodle passed, and we got Junior, a Yorkie I swear I saw in a dream 1 month prior. So, now here he was. He is a Gemini (the Twins) born unfortunately for me...on my wife's (yes, you prob guessed) Gemini birthday! Doomed, I say, but I digress. Now mind you they are the Gemini Twins from hell, both of them God bless em... But, the other side is sweet as pie. Its just I dont see that much of the other sides, and when Id do they are in and out of sync with each other. Like a tornado inside a Hurricane.

Me being sick the whole year, I was home alone while the wife was working to raise Junior, and tried to do a really great job. I was very sick. A lot of time I'd wave, snap my fingers, point, or quietly tap my chest, and he'd bark, go the other way, speak, sit. After awhile, he'd respond to about 5-7 commands, and then the next year Covid hit the world and he still had no outside influence, and I felt bad for him. The wife never picked up on the fact I can get him to respond and she cant. Until the other day.....

"Here Junior! Come to momma!" He'd look at her, see me point the opposite way and he'd run away from her. She gets so mad she could spit. She 'd say "Speak boy! Speak!" and he'd go and lay down. She'd go "Junior" Get your leash!" n I'd point behind her back to her shoe, and he takes her that instead. She was getting frustrated he wont listen...but it was me and my commands she never saw. Caught me waving behind my back and him sommersaulting (yeah, I know rt)! Now she knows, and is mad as a rooster whose eyes are sown shut (my great grandma did supp. sew one's shut). Busted.

So the 4 of them and the 1 of me, all live together in a giant 3 people-are-5 mass identity confusion. They get the house. I get the $399 shed from Home Depot out back. And now, the wife is still suspicious. Both of her. Junior however...both of him...is just plain confused.

Im wondering should I tell her he's the 1 whose been taking $$ out of her pocket when shes asleep on the couch? Im up 2 $10's and 3-5's and a lottery scratch off.

Yeah, you want to get out of the shed, you should probably teach her the hand signals. But hey, at least it's July, not January here in MI.

Glad the wife is ok MS . did you find out what the cause was ! .

It is amazing what you can train some dogs to do , my last collie dog was smart i could get him to some cool tricks just like you with hand signals fck knows why i taught him them but it was fun , it was shadows that drove him nuts at night with a light behind me i could get him to run around a field chasing my hand shadow while i had my smoke , wall shadow puppets were another crazy laugh but watching cartoons on the tv was the real hoot .

This collie i have now i rescued from a pound a few years ago , brain dead but i can live with that these days , i named him well muttley

ps you can get garden sheds for 399 wow i bought one at the start of 2020 for 480 £ when i checked the price for another one the price had gone to 700 for the same shed from the same company

Yeah, but you know what? The shed for $399 comes with a shelf in back to set up the tv...
