That must be so cool :rock:

Especially when he visits someone :D

If we're both on the same wavelength.......heaven forbid :o

That's what I was thinking. Sounds like he's training the dog to be a cat burglar. :O:

I hate to spoil your fun with the truth but here it goes: I tried blood earlier and he learned that well enough too, but it was too messy plus I could not hide it anywhere I wanted (like inside a book for obvious reasons). And I could do it only when I happened to have a wound myself. It's not like I poked myself* with a needle everytime I wanted to train my dog, even I'm not that crazy.

In short, I needed something small and easily obtainable with a strong and distinctive scent, and preferably something I could use over and over again. Bills seemed suitable enough, and it's just fun to tell people I have trained my dog to find money.

*)And no, I did not poke anyone else either.

I might try filming a short video clip of it and uploading it somewhere. No promises, but I'll see if my camera is up to the task.

Yeah that :yeah:

Fixed :O:

:haha:

Note to myself: never borrow money from Hottentott :DL

Does a banknote even have a distinct smell? I mean they go through so many hands, there must be so many different scents of people.
Or does the dog go for your own smell?

Pretty much everything has. The paper, the ink etc., they all form a combination that can be found in pretty much every bill. And apparently it smells different as, say, books or newspapers, as he isn't interested in those while searching.

I have considered that possibility and tried to eliminate it. It helps that we are doing this so far only home: everything here smells of me anyway, so he must understand the difference.

Celtic Women just became my Christmas music of choice.

Maev has the voice of an angel.

Good news, I got the video filmed and uploaded. I'm not making it public, but anyone interested feel free to PM me, and I'll send you a link.

Yay, the first snow fell down overnight here! :rock:

It won't stay for too long though, the weather prophecies say 10°C for the Christmas weekend.

Of course the snow caused all idotic drivers to say:"Hey I'm an idiot and it snows, let's get on the road and torture Penguin's nerves!" :x

For those of you who don't frequent the General Games forum and like light military comedy, I wish to use this chance to blow my own horn. So: :woot:

"The winter surprised the drivers". That sneaky little law of nature does it every year.

:rotfl2: :rock:


I KNOW what is up with that? First real winter weather we get every year, you'd think people never saw snow and ice before. :nope:
