Training is hard work!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! For some reason, Momma is wearing kitties on her ears today. She says it's because she thinks Friday the 13th is lucky -- she was born on it! -- so she likes wearing black cats. Weird.

Anyway, the Momma training has been going pretty well. I've got her trained to come bring me out into the yard regularly so I've got company to go potty. Sometimes I still sneak off to go in the hall or something, but Momma is getting pretty good at knowing when I want company. I've also got her trained on toys! Every day, I go through the toy boy and pull everything out to examine and play with. Then Momma puts them all back in the box for me! Pretty neat trick, huh?

This is my slinky dog. He's SUPER long and hard to maneuver, so I had to work really hard to get him up on the ottoman.


When I did, I made sure to hold him in place so he couldn't get away again!


Training humans and slinky dogs is sure hard work!

    Matilda, it takes lots of energy to keep up such training intensity. I do hope part of the training includes the dropping of nourishing treats every now and then?!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  5. Mom's first Portie, Bentley, used to put his toys back in the toybox. She wishes the rest of us would do that but we just look at her like she's crazy. That's what peeps are for.

  11. BRAVO!!! Good work gurl! Oh, and I likes to have Ma out there with me while I do my business too ~ can't have them sneakin' out the door, rights? And I do the toy thing too! Butts I have a BIG huge pile of toys that I knock overs everyday and Ma has to pile them up again. I heard something abouts 'thinning the herd'...I'm not sure what that means. Anyhu, your slinky dog is PAWSOME!
    Kisses,
