Damn Dogs.

Oerdin, that's what you get for being dumb enough to leave food out with dogs in the house/apartment.

I had three different dogs growing up and they would never take food off of a table or counter. They were great.

These dogs aren't.

The three above?

My dad ruled with an Iron Fist, he taught Sheeba our Black Shepard who ruled the roost!

pizza goes in the fridge.

it's called cold pizza for a reason

or do you think the meat on a pizza can withstand room temperature for very long?

I've done it for around 20 years and have yet to get sick. Just keep it in the box so it is covered. I swear some people get sick over everything while other people almost never get sick.

it's cool your dogs wouldn't get up on the counter. I think that has to be a hard thing to train in dogs. training dogs is not easy. I can only do so much with my dog.

I'm thinking it is the way I grew up. My parents were always telling my sister and I to play outside and half the time that meant hiking or playing in the canyons. My friends and I would daily walk knee deep in mud and water, would catch frogs/mice/what ever, were exposed to just about every pollen or bacteria or pathogen known to the western world, fell down getting scraped or bruised and everyone just got up and no one cried because if you did then you were a *****. We got stung by bees and bitten by spiders, it seemed like we found ticks feasting on us every other day because we were always in the bush, we played sports, we went swimming at the beach, we'd drink water out of the streams, we'd eat sandwiches which had been sitting unrefridgerated in our backpacks for 5-8 hours. We'd always roll around in the grass and horse play then we'd feed the neighbor's goats, after which we'd go ride my friend's horses. None of us ever seemed to get allergies or get sick. If someone did then we'd likely have made fun of him.

I do think people these days just don't expose themselves to enough of the natural world's bugs, insects, pollen, bacteria, and what not so everyone gets sick over every little thing. There is something to just going out there and getting exposed to everything and just not giving a ****. In the end I think you do end up with a stronger immune system because it has seen it all plus it doesn't get worked up over a little pollen because it is used to seeing everything under the sun so you don't get allergies. Let your kids get dirty, let them get scraped and bruised, let run around in the canyons and roll in the grass, don't cause a big fuss when they get stung or bit. It's all part of growing up and in the end they will be stronger people even if it means they eat pizza which has been left out over night.

My dad, and to a very lesser extent me, was always working with the dog(s). I think he was just bored. I mean he was extremely consistent and was always using positive and negative reinforcement so the dog(s) picked up on it because it was always consistent. They knew exactly what would happen (good or bad) if they did something so they eventually just stopped doing the bad and tried to do the good to get the reward (mostly attention and praise but sometimes food). When the dog(s) got older they just kept doing exactly what they had done when they were younger.

I think training kids is, basically, like training a dog. It's more complicated since kids can think for themselves while dogs (even the most intelligent) are much simpler creatures. the key is to be consistent and to reward good behavior while punishing bad behavior. If you do that then you can train a dog to stand in the door way but not run outside, to not eat food without permission, to not bark at regular things, to follow voice commands, and just about anything.

Could be worse. At least you're not holed up in a boarded up shack trying to fight off hoards of undead zombies with ammo running low.

He should put the dogs into the refrigerater.

Dude, you're doing it all wrong!

I'm a devout delivery pizza lover and I ALWAYS put my left over pizza in the box, the damn FRIDGE.
