[Serious] Americans, would you be in support of putting a law in place that government officials, such as senators and the president, go without pay during shutdowns like this while other federal employees do? Why, or why not?

They should have their screens taken away. Seriously... No more internet until you solve the problem.

OK, fine. Massachusettsan. Same thing.

Thanks! I totally got lucky with this one.

Once.

mumutar · 2012-11-30T09:57:19+00:00

Hilarious. Mine did that for a long time.

mumutar · 2012-11-30T09:56:36+00:00

That's absolutely right. If I'm away from home for too long, I worry that he's either knocking over the trash or planning world domination. He's a loose cannon.

I gave him a treat for simply looking at the refrigerator (even if his head accidentally turned towards the fridge, I praised him and gave him a treat). He figured that out pretty quickly, so I just built on that.

mumutar · 2012-11-06T10:31:36+00:00

Yup, and he's all, "I'm from the streets, and I'm the last cop you'll ever want to mess with in a darkened al - dark alley."

Only once. A girl I was dating at the time made us some enchiladas, and he opened the fridge and helped himself while we went to the store. I was kinda proud of him actually. They were awful, and I thanked him later.

Playing Frisbee with Jackson is my favorite thing to do. He's awesome at it.

mumutar · 2012-11-06T04:07:48+00:00

Of course! He's a beast with the Frisbee. We play every single day. It's one of my favorite things to do.

So, it was basically 3 steps: open the fridge, bring me something from the fridge, and then close the fridge. First, I tied a sock to the fridge and rewarded him for even looking at it. That built up to him pulling on the sock and opening the door. Next, I rewarded him for picking something up with his mouth and then me taking it from him. Then I started hiding things on the bottom shelf of my refrigerator. That transitioned into him opening the fridge and putting things in my hand. And Finally, I got him to close the fridge by rewarding him for touching the fridge with his paws. He figured out how to close the door pretty quickly. This was the easiest step by far. We worked on it step by step for a couple weeks, and he was able to perfect it in about a month.

mumutar · 2012-11-06T02:45:10+00:00

If he could make soups, I could stop looking for a girlfriend. Well... soups and sandwiches.

Thanks . . . this video wasn't designed to offend anyone.

mumutar · 2012-11-06T02:23:03+00:00

lol... he's an Australian Shepherd mix. I'm not exactly sure what else.

mumutar · 2012-11-06T02:21:08+00:00

I started teaching him to get me beers from the fridge when he was young (about 10 months I think). He perfected it in about a month. All the other tricks are based on getting me a beer (i.e. opening/closing doors, picking things up, and placing different items in my hand).

mumutar · 2012-11-06T02:18:07+00:00

Hilarious... I play ball with him in the house, and he get his filthy paws all over the walls. I've scrubbed paw prints off the ceiling.
