Cesar Millan

Mom told me this morning that my friend Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) is only doing one more season of his TV show starting in July this year. I wanted to weep, howl in sadness, and growl, all at once. He's the best, you know. He understands what we dogs need...balanced people. In this neighborhood, for example, we have a lot of imbalanced folks. There's a new bunch up the street who let their two pitbulls run loose. Now, yes the dogs are just puppies, but they could get run over by a car or even worse, snatched by the dog catcher(hate those guys). The other day, one of the little buggers ran at me while Mom and I were out walking. I'd have bit him for her, but she stepped in between us and "chushed" him a couple of times. I tell ya, Cesar's way is wonderful. The dog was so taken aback by her authority that it backed off, turned and went home. Way to go, Mom! One neighbor's dog is a cute Malamute and they really do try to take her for walks on occasion. (Mom? Are ya hearing me? Hint?)But they also let her run off leash beside their truck to give her some exercise. Me, I think that's dangerous. And they tie her up on top of their truck sometimes and if she got riled up she would hang herself. Not pretty. It worries me. All of this stuff bugs me. As a dog I know that my owners care for me and try to give me a good life. And they've done it- since in dog years I'm 108, I know I've had a great home. But most of these people really need Cesar and people like him. He's tops in my doggy book. He makes a difference in the lives of so many of my cousins. Dogs that would have been destroyed, dogs that were suffering under owners with issues, all have benefited from his expertise. You are the best, Cesar!
