TEACHING AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS AT 7TH AND MONTANA ...!

                             

Tongues and tails were wagging at 7th and Montana this morning as word spread that Charlie, the lovable but irascible sheepdog, has a new trainer, the fourth in a series of professionals brought in to curb his nasty habit of lunging at other dogs.  "This time I found a real Dog Whisperer," explained Richard, "He spent four hours yesterday just talking to Charlie."  Evidently, Charlie's new training also involves plenty of Soothing Music and Aromatherapy.  Who knows ... if the training doesn't work on Charlie, perhaps Richard can try it on his new neighbor.  Rumor has it that Actor Mel Gibson was looking at a condo upstairs from Richard yesterday.  Gibson has been in the Hollywood Doghouse ever since his infamous Anti-Semitic Tirade last year.
