Motivation

Nicole's dog Tiger is pretty smart. Psycho that he may potentially be (pity the poor fella, who had to endure days of Nic's whinings and complaints about work and life), he certainly learned how to roll over and play dead for the first time after Nic brought home some leftover chicken from our Soup restaurant dinner. Freak event perhaps. Last sat we had a BBQ and some leftover sausages which I told her to take home to Tiger. She had complained about him eating up her tv remote control. So I said, use the sausages to train him to change tv channels. Which she did. Within minutes apparently the dog can indeed press buttons on the tv. Now the only thing she said, was to teach him how to change to specific channels she wants to watch. Can imagine,, "tiger, go change to channel 5!". Whoa.

Now imagine my dogs. I bet my bottom dollar Holly has no freaking idea what a tv is, or a remote control (unless it smells like food). Asking her to fetch my remote control.....well, I think I have a better chance of finding a needle in a haystack. If I were to train Bis to fetch the remote, he'll likely give a huge woebegone sigh and just amble off to the nearest doggybed. Slick, on the other hand, could be bribed to fetch the remote control. But knowing him, he'd probably use the $ to outsource the actual job to some other minion in his reporting hierachy (maybe Hootie, Herbie or Mogu) and paying them peanuts (if at all).

Moral of story, when Wen wants her tv channels changed, she's better of using the remote control herself. Safer, quicker, and less frustrating. Then again, since dogs won't be changing channels, they aint' getting any sausages nor samsui chicken neither. Heeheehee.

EXCEPT for teh fact that W can't chaneg the TV remote herself cuz its BUSTED!!!... Holly would have EATEN the remote and yup..biz would not have a clue... slick would have outsourced... but then again, he IS a capitalist!!.. I would just get wen to do it, cuz she sweet!... as for tiger.. maybe he was really dead... i think he needs a shrink.. anyone who lives with nicole would.. but then again, she nice....in a ...er.. weird way... hope she not reading this or i dead...anyway, viv gone, devide and conquor!
