Thanks guys.  I know a lot of you have K9s and as expected, I got some good advise and references to materials.  I'll definitely do the crate training.  I grew up with all kinds of creatures at home (we brought home anything we could get our hands on) and I think it would be good for the kids.  I've accepted the reality that no mater what the rest of the family say, I would be the one that would take care of them and do all the works

Not me! , and if she knew I said that I would fear for my life.

I will revive this thread with my stupid stunt this week.

I am riding the back roads with 4 other bikes and leading.
I am trying to keep things moving and come across an intersection that I have to make a left or a right.

It has a very steep incline and I need to make a left and I spot loose gravel in the middle.

My plan in my head is to slow down not make a full stop and take left.

well that did not work out, car coming around corner made me make a quick stop.

this is where all the trouble started.

I stayed right of the gravel but because of the quick stop, I did not get a chance to shift down to first, (did I mention it was steep?)

I grab the front brake and rear and stick my left foot out to stabilize the bike. (did I mention gravel?)

My left foot almost goes out (almost) and left my leg extended out to far.  What I did not see was the fine sand (dark) that my front wheel stopped on.

(did i mention steep?)

Now I have left foot extended, right foot on rear brake, right hand front brake, and left hand with clutch pulled in while in the wrong gear.

I let off rear brake and bike goes backward, (I needed to stop that)

I try to gain my composure (all I really needed was someone to shift it in 1st, but all appendages were tied up) and figure out that I need to push bike right with my gravel foot and shift in first in a millisecond, leave off rear brake, ratchet up throttle and let clutch out before tumbling down.

Well I got r done, but was not as easy to get out of the situation as it was to get in.

remember to try not to do that again.

Some mornings, just getting up qualifies as stupid.... today was one of those days and I'll leave it go at that.

This morning told my wife that we were out of bacon and she would have to eat corn flakes for breakfast.

You got that all wrong.  Tell her out of bacon and will ride to get some for her.  Then in a few hours when you get home just have to explain no one close had the "good stuff."  And, since it's all about her, you had to take the nice long ride to get her the good stuff.
