Hello Melanie L Chang.

As you know, I'm a relatively brilliant guy, and I will tell you what
NILIF is all about.

NILIF (nothing in life is fun or free, fans) is a system which is
designed for humans with small minds who do not understand dogs or their
behavior. It is a system which allows dummy humans to use their human
logic on a dog, because they are incapable of envisioning how a dog
thinks. To a dog, NILIF is utter nonsense and it is incomprehensible,
because dogs are not obsessed with making silly systems and "protocols"
in order to allow them to understand life and how it works. Dogs
perfectly understand everything they need to understand to get by in
this world. They don't need any protocols.

It is PEOPLE who need the NILIF "protocols" and its accompanying idiotic
rules and regulations. Primarily STUPID people. They need a protocol to
hold their hands because they are too stooopid to use their branes.

I'd like to direct you all to a free video, fans.

do you think that I taught that to my dogs by "withholding privileges???"

BWHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAA!!!

do you think I taught that to my dogs by "showing them their place in
the hierarchy??"

BWHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!

do you think I put those recalcitrant rovers on a strict idiot NILIF
program in order to get that kind of control????

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

NILIF is for people who aren't smart enough to train dogs from a dog's
perspective because they can't peer into a dog and peer out of a dog's
eye view of the world. NILIF nitwits have to look through their own
goggles, and use flawed human techniques and flawed human logic which
doesn't even work on humans....

BWHAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

NILIF is what a wife uses when she withholds sex from her husband to
make him behave? What does he do if he's a smart husband, he goes out
and gets some "free" sex somewhere else???!!!

WHY BUY THE COW when you can get the MILK FOR FREE???? OR why BOTHER
WITH THE COW if she's NOT GIVING ANY MILK???

BWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!


have a nice day fans....
