I have always sneered in distaste at dogs that go all spasmodic when they meet new people. I don’t particularly enjoy having my thighs bruised by horny claws and my clothes slathered with substances that when dry take on a rather a suspect sheen.
An embarrassed laugh is reeled out as a nose thrusts towards my groin. “I already have a gynaecologist who I am very happy with thank you and her nose is far warmer than yours.” I gush with flushed cheeks, gracious smiles and a colossal inner rage building.
Just lately though I have been trawling my neighbourhood actively looking for dogs to thrust my groin at, working them up into a frenzy with high pitched baby talk and patting of my thighs just so that I can try out the techniques of my new hero; the dog whisperer.
It’s all about showing dominance.
Caesar Millan uses his fingers as a ‘bite’ to correct a dog’s undesired behaviour, that and a ‘tssh’ noise. Hey presto, within two bites and one ‘tssh’ the dog is lolling in a ‘calm submissive state’ at Caesar’s feet to the astonishment of the woman who originally bought Attila the Rottweiler as a baby substitute but then called in the dog whisperer when he started instead to eat babies.
Should Caesar Millan discover a particularly troublesome mutt, he takes it home to his pack where it can learn some manners via a kind of prison exercise ground environment where Caesar is the screw.
The dog whisperer’s methods can be just as effectively applied in human situations too.
The office where I work has a well established little pack of three, all fairly even in temperaments and no one is overly aggressive. We play ball together very happily indeed. Suddenly, one day in comes a new dog.
Caesar will not let an unbalanced dog that isn’t calm submissive enter the pack environment because it will upset the bum sniffing equilibrium and a fight will ensue. But there was no Caesar in the office to ‘tssh’ him and so in came the new dog all fired up and nipping at our inquisitive noses. I went to greet new dog (let’s call him Biggety boss) as a calm, balanced employee and was metaphorically bitten. He had felt it necessary to try to exert dominance by belittling my typing and dictation skills, or lack thereof. Having upset one dog this feeling spread throughout the pack causing terrible tension - long periods Googling had to be abandoned, we no longer dragged our worm ridden bums across the carpet, the office regularly fell silent when ordinarily the air would be filled with guffawing and the odd parp, or rather parping followed by guffaws.
The moment Biggety Boss belittled me I should have tsshed him and jabbed his neck.
In the meantime though it has been unnecessary to use the tssh and jab as the pack has successfully rehabilitated him. He may soon even be parping and guffawing along with us.
We should all use the bite and tssh in everyday life to correct unwanted behaviour.
Couples need no longer endure lengthy sulks, bickering or nagging. Instead when your other half does something you aren’t happy with – jab and tssh. No explanation necessary, no explanation offered. Simply deemed unacceptable behaviour – correct them and ignore them.
The formula for a balanced, well behaved dog = Exercise, discipline, affection – also applicable to men.

On a beautiful late-summer morning, WAMX 4234 breaks the silence as it blares its RS3L for a rural crossing outside of Garrett, IL.

Spotted in a shop window while we were dog walking. There's a lot of these Keep Calm mugs and posters around at the moment.

Few will be unaware of Broadway, since it's Edwardian rediscovery this picturesque Cotswold town has attracted visitors from all over the world. Broadway has fallen from the high wolds lying at the foot of the escarpment, the main street once climbed the lower slopes of Fish Hill slipping away as the ascent defied further building, Now a bypass takes the heavy traffic past Broadway, returning the upper part of the village to it's Victorian calm.
In common with several other Cotswold settlements Broadway began as a planned medieval town created by Pershore Abbey in the late 12th or early 13th centuries as a source of revenue. This may explain the position of the Norman church dedicated to St Eadburgha, which is a mile or so along the Snowshill road close to an older route over Fish Hill. The town prospered in the 17th and 18th centuries deriving a large portion of it's income from the wool and cloth trades and served as an important stopping place when coach travel blossomed, stimulated by the creation of turnpike roads. A medieval building the Abbot's Grange survives at the eastern end of the town.
As the old church was an inconvenient distance from the 17th century town, a chapel of ease was built near the marketplace in 1608, St Michael, this church was rebuilt in 1839. However, the wonderfully evocative Norman church St Eadburgha's is still used in the summer months. Eadburgha was a Saxon princess who as a child chose a bible over a bag of jewels, she was the daughter of Edward the Elder. A Saxon dedication suggests the presence of an earlier church on the site. St Eadburgha stands on the edge of Broadway perched above a wooded valley surrounded by fields. The elegant exterior gives the impression of a wealthy Perpendicular wool church but a soon as you step into the lofty nave a Norman structure is revealed. A three-bay pointed arcade with round piers betrays the buildings Norman origins, outside two west buttresses and the remains of an east buttress show the whole building to be c1200. The towers seems to have been built into the original nave preserving the piers of a fourth bay while the east responds were topped with battlements.The west and east tower arches are 14th century but the chancel arch retains imposts c1200. A vaulted roof spans the tower-crossing while the upper stages are Perpendicular as are the chancel windows although there is evidence of 13th century lancets. A Jacobean altar rail guards the communion table at the eat end of the chancel. The chancel has a trefoil headed piscina with continuous roll-moulding. A 13th century south transept has a south window of three stepped pointed-trefoiled lights, a piscina suggests the transept was used as an additional chapel. The nave roof sits on a wall plate with fleurons and one carved head. Above the chancel arch is a Royal Coat of Arms of Charles I dated to 1641.A Norman tub font has medieval encaustic tiles around it but inside the north door is the base of a 13th century hexagonal font with slender shafts. The church guide suggests the pulpit, that has Perpendicular panels, was once a travelling pulpit that would have been tied to the back of a horse. There are screens and benches in the choir which were constructed from medieval fragments. On the east wall is a brass to Anton Daston died 1571, this is a palimpsest, engraved on a Flemish brass plate, part of which is now in Westerham, Kent. There are fragments of medieval glass in many of the windows. A recent edition are beautiful oak pews made by Christopher Holmes of Rookery Farm, Broadway. The church has a peal of six bells including a Bagley bell of 1778.
Unfortunately the church has been a victim of several thefts, particularly a carved Flemish panel and the parish chest, these are illustrated on my Flckr site: www.flickr.com/photos/bwthornton/sets/72157633151004936, it would be wonderful if these pieces could be found and restored to their proper place.
Mall-Woarr is a weird but awesome Mixel with a rotating head that shows two different personalities: Mall, a cycloptic calmed-down humble dude that is always waiting for the next computer attack, and Woarr, a two-eyed presumptuous impatient who is jealous of not being able to use the energy shields!
