It was another glorious morning of sleeping in- ahhhh vacation. Lib and I then headed to another Seattle staple, Starbucks, for v-lattes and chonga bagels with cream cheese. We picked up Baker and made the hour drive to Maple Valley to meet the dog trainer. I could tell this trainer meant business by her camouflage baseball hat emblazoned with a paw print in the middle. We spent an hour describing the behaviors of Libby and Steven’s schnauzer.
His Life is Going to Change
During the interview process the trainer brought out her (un-neutered with balls that would scare a grown bull) doberman. She was able to cue him to sit and bark with just hand motions, this lady really was the dog whisperer. Unfortunately the goal of this was to observe Baker’s behaviors. I’ll skip the details suffice to say that she recommended the anti-social aggressive dog training for Bake

We made the hour drive back to Seattle and Lib’s ouchy back wasn’t handling car riding very well. After dropping Baker off we headed to grab some Ramen. Lib went with traditional ramen noodles in a pork broth and I went with the spicy miso. Oddly enough you can order the spicy miso as mild and, perhaps not surprisingly, it wasn’t mild. He had pork, beans, and cleared out my sinuses pretty quickly.
After a quick nap, Baker and I headed to Discovery park for a walk before Steven returned home from work. We went to the local grocery store and picked up fresh king salmon for dinner. We also picked up a 6 pack of Rainer beer to try because my favorite character in the tv show Longmire (think modern day Walker, Texas Ranger) drinks it. Thankfully the cans only cost a dollar each because Steven and I only managed a swig each before dumping it.
At least it’s only a dollar a can.
