Saturday with the DUMB DOG.

I can’t say I am a fan of this dog. Buddhism directs us towards compassion. I want to ship him off to a monastery where I believe someone will enjoy his company. This special snowflake was unfortunately abused severely, so I am careful to stick with being calm. BUT, he insists on barking, and barking, and barking at nothing really. He is just noisy, and annoying. He did receive training. He is house broken, and will lay down when commanded. The barking is his downfall. Not even bark collars have deterred his unnecessary rambling.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS. My dog who is famous is not this dog. This dog was here when I moved in.
