Bufford's Report (not yet)
I have gotten Bufford's report, finally, but I'm going to hold on to it a bit. It's pretty controversial, and I know it's going to raise hackles. As I'm still recovering from the nettles-around-the-groin problem, I don't feel like a big political fight.
I will, however, reply to some email I got. This is really in the "Ask Hubert" vein.
"Dear Hubert:
I do love my buddies, but they can do some odd stuff. How do you keep them from bringing lots of strangers over? I hate it. They won't let me sniff the crotches of these people AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S SAFE TO LET THEM IN OR NOT. I get kind of crazy when all these people come over and then I get sent to the garage.
Help!
Sparky"
This really is a problem, and I completely understand. Part of our job as dogs is to guard entry into the house, and I realize that buddies get in the way our doing it right. But, buddies being buddies, you're never going to convince them that you need to sniff the crotch of every person who comes into the house. Just let that go. Do not, repeat, do not bark or make a scene about it. If you do, you're in the garage, and then there's nothing you can do.
I recommend stealth snarfs. Greet the stranger politely, and then, when they turn to put their coat up and your buddy is distracted, shove and snarf. Often, the stranger will try to pretend it didn't happen. If you aren't tall enough for that, wait till they sit down. If you just can't do a proper check, then check their shoes thoroughly. Lick them if necessary. George maintains that sniffing their ears and licking their faces can tell you a lot.
Here's the thing about all those strangers over: there is food. Often on low tables. If you're really lucky, like we've been, your buddy will make brisket and have too much left over. Don't eat it while people are there, or you're back in the garage. Wait till it's clean up time. Then, do that pass and swoop method. Never stand by a table, and certainly don't drool at it. Pretend you haven't even noticed it, and then just walk by. A quick grab, and off to a corner. Works great.

I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw Elvis in the supermarket yesterday.
No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender".
He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a shiny, new plasmatv to go with that blue suede sofa of yours.
But Elvis said I, In the Ghetto nobody has a plasma tv .
Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger then I'm gonna go home and ask Michael Jackson to come round and watch that waaaay cool surfing scene in Apocalypse Now on my new plasma tv .
And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . .

Help me Dude, I think I'm lost..... I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw him in a car lot yesterday, which is really strange because the last time I saw him was in the supermarket. No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender". He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a San Diego cosmetic surgery doctor ,to fit into those blue suede shoes of yours. But Elvis said in the Ghetto nobody can afford a San Diego plastic surgery doctor. Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger. Then I'm gonna go round and see Michael Jackson and we're gonna watch a waaaay cool make-over show featuring some Tijuana dentists on the TV in the back of my Hummer.

I think people often overlook the importance of grooming their pets as a way to contribute to their overall good health. Here are just a few more tips on pet grooming. You must groom your pets whole body including the legs, tail, and underbody if you want to do it right.
You must groom certain pets from the skin outward to truly be effective in taking care of their coat of hair and keeping it healthy. Comb through the unseen healthy hair and remove the shedding hair; this is what most groomers do first before cutting your pet's coat. You must groom some animals all at once while some other animals have so much hair that it is esier to do a little at a time each day. You know your pet is well mannerd when it will sit still and alow you or a professional to perform regular grooming and maintenence without any fuss. If you feel you just don't have the time or desire to do it yourself, its time to call the professionals. Your dog will love you for it, and you'll feel great about it too. Hope this was helpful.
