I think maybe you find blogging as confusing as Emma does - I don't of course cos I have the right amount of intelligence to understand everything. <BR/>My first piece of advice for Barack and Michelle is to get the right breed of advisor. JRTs are perfect for the job. We can advise, counsel, support and entertain and have enough energy to hold the world and run around and get everything done. We understand social affairs and human interactions and all the issues that affect human beings. I am sure other breeds of dog would claim the same but do they really mean it? JRTs have all the qualities of a person-centred counsellor; highly empathic, congruent and with unconditional positive regard and that's very important and doesn't exist in the world of politics so is bound to create a very positive revolution!! But if they can't get a JRT get them to ask their dog to call in at my blog and I will advice him or her directly.<BR/>The key advice I would give to the dog is to trust your instincts, remember that you have exactly the right amount of intelligence for the job and don't get too lost in all the confusing human thoughts that come your way. Stay focussed on what REALLY matters for human beings, dogs and all other creatures of this planet, to live contently, happily and at peace and all will be fine.<BR/>Oh and make sure you give your own very special humans, the Obama family, ever so much love and licks and fun and that way they'll know what is truly important in life and feel they have the strength to carry out the most important job in the world all together, not just Father Obama :)<BR/>Love and licks to you and your 80-year old Mum and enjoy your trip!<BR/>Ted XOXOXTed and Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445233835196702573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096147774054334463.post-20844409157530628652008-11-15T05:36:00.000-08:002008-11-15T05:36:00.000-08:00Hi TedJust wondered if you would like us to pass o...Hi Ted<BR/>Just wondered if you would like us to pass on any messages to Barack and Michelle, or tips on how to brief their new four-legged friend for the serious responsibility of advice and canine counsel to the Oval Office. We will be accompanying the 80-year-old Matriarch to the USA in two weeks and are expecting Barack and Michelle to greet us at the airport.<BR/>strokes<BR/>MarketeMarketehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659884065392056985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096147774054334463.post-62287502321487147502008-11-09T13:42:00.000-08:002008-11-09T13:42:00.000-08:00Yes you are very right, Sheila... human barking ca...Yes you are very right, Sheila... human barking can be very unpleasant and that must be why they came up with the phrase his/her bark is worse than his/her bite cos their barking is always worse than their biting cos humans don't bite very well, except to eat their food and it's not as hard biting as dogs can do. I'd love to meet Archie, and see if I can make him argue barking cos I am very good at doing that, even with dogs who are as lovely as you say Archie is. I meant barking in terms of dog conversation and humans don't do that sort of barking very well cos they don't bother to learn our language, even though they expect us to learn theirs! And when a human tells you that a dog's bark is worse than their bite that might not be the case at all; the bite could be worse but that doesn't mean that the dog is gonna bite! Dogs can be very misunderstood by many humans, but you sound like the sort if human who could understand us very well. Thank you! Woof!Ted and Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445233835196702573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096147774054334463.post-14578983401780878122008-11-07T04:22:00.000-08:002008-11-07T04:22:00.000-08:00Oh well!

When a human does not like something they bark to other human by using strong words. Very often the second human can end crying. While a bark from a dog can be affectioned or angry, that's all. It won't affect you badly. I think!<BR/>A friend of mine has a Dachshund dog called Archie. He is lovely and I love his friendly barking! He's never angry!<BR/>SheilaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096147774054334463.post-90580156042009475242008-11-02T04:30:00.000-08:002008-11-02T04:30:00.000-08:00Hi Sheila,I am liking blogging a lot... I do also ...Hi Sheila,<BR/>I am liking blogging a lot... I do also like laying down next to my humans, especially Emma - well I suppose I have to say that cos otherwise she might stop typing for me and then I could no longer blog - now she is is asking if I do really like lying next to her or whether I am just saying it to make her keep typing - and I am trying to persuade her I really do - and well we may have a playfight soon cos I like that a lot and I think she now does too so long as I don't bite too hard. We also agree this is better than watching crap TV - but not than watching uncrap TV - although of course whether the TV is crap or not usually depends on the person who is watching it and their reaction to it, although actually come Tv is just crap anyways, although not literally crap of course cos that would be smelly and nobody would want to be in the same room as it, unless they are a dog that likes that smell and many dogs do... oh gosh better stop cos Emma is pulling a face about that! Dogs like smells and she has to accept that being an accepting human!<BR/>I would encourage you to write letters to people, or dogs, or aliens or anyone really, if you like and they can be snailmailed to them, which means you put them in a envelope and a stamp on it with a long address, and not that a snail carries them, although I don't see why they don't let a snail carry them! That's snailist!<BR/>If you like you can be a dog with me and we can do fun doggy things together like chasing each other and playfighting and, well do you have any other suggestions?<BR/>Thank you for following my blog when you can. I am very happy that you are!<BR/>Woofs and licks, Ted (and Emma cos she is here too but she doesn't usually bark, but maybe I could train her too!)Ted and Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445233835196702573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096147774054334463.post-53128825870080701252008-11-01T12:21:00.000-07:002008-11-01T12:21:00.000-07:00Well, Ted...

It's probably better than laying down next to humans watching crap Tv and feel bored after chewing the same dental dog treat for hours. So, Ted, blog if you like blogin!<BR/>I'm a bit lazy to read things, but I'll do my best to follow your journal.<BR/>I miss "that ancient way of writing that involves making your own marks on a piece of paper". I should perhaps go back to write letters to people.<BR/>Woof, woof with love!<BR/>Sheila xx<BR/>PD I wish humans could be dogs too! Cause dogs are fab! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
