It appears that it was indeed where they shot that movie: Fort Worden State Park - 200 Battery Way, Port Townsend, Washington, USA

Once you have GOOGLE EARTH just type in Fort Worden in the search box and it takes you there! Its a brilliant tool for the curious, have fun with it. Gives locations of all u.s. subs and locations of their demise at the hands of japs..also check out Pearl Harbor and many other places of interest.

not the cat....the Big black Dog.....he used to be an only child and initially took exception to the Yellow runt of a litter of six (found abandoned in a trash bag on the side of the road by the GF unit) Yellow dog got too close to black dog while he was eating. Scary puppy moment. They're buddies now...old creeky and Yellow dog of Annoyance. (also known as Trash can puppy)

That's because dogs learn. They don't continue to do the same thing over and over and over expecting different results.

Not all dogs are the same. I swear, I grew up with an afghan hound that was the dumbest (but friendliest) thing to consume oxygen...

Status: offline 		Cats certainly are smart and evil. My cat Neely used to scratch the crap out of my record collection edges, and she would sit next to them and place her paw on them when she wanted something. I'd say "hey...hey...hey"...as she would repeatedly between heys touch the albums. Really amazing behavior. She was pretty peeved when I built a proper glass door shelving unit for them. Evil little bitch.

Status: offline 		trust me...this one is dumb as a stone. The only + side is that it makes him much more friendly. never scratches and rarely bites. A rare bite occured too nights ago and the GF unit beat the crap out of him, then PUNTed him. I don't think he'll try that again for some time. (GF unit is quite the disciplanarian when it comes to animals.....one hard stare from her makes the Yellow dog of Annoyance cringe and skulk behind dad)

A dog looks up at this creature who provides him w/ food and shelter and thinks "Wow! It must be a god". A cat looks up at the creature who provides him food and shelter and thinks "Wow! I must be a god".

Wrong thread but, did you take any pictures of the Texas when you were there, Nik?

When animal does something over and over despite negative reinforcement, it is simply because the reward outweighs the consequences. Time for more negative reinforcement!

I'm thinking a fertilizer bomb in the trash can would do it?

Careful...if you put too much in, you might damage the GF Mk I unit, or worse, her den!

GF Mk I units are notoriously difficult to repair (lack of available spare parts) and are ferocious when defending their dens.
