Lowri - This morning, TM's first client didn't show up, so TM had more time to play with me. At one point, she got cookies out and gave a piece to my daddy and one to me. They were very tasty! She told my daddy to kennel up and gave him a piece when he did. I RAN to my crate because I know TM will feed me if I am in it. The door was shut! I turned around cause TM said my name and a new word "Come". She showed me the cookie, so I beat feet over to her and tried to look cute. TM gave me the cookie - just for looking cute. A minute later, TM said my name and the new word again. she showed me the cookie and I dashed to her. I got the cookie AGAIN! Too cool. I have trained TM to give me cookies whenever I run to her after hearing the word "Come". I am so clever!
I have also found out that I can get TM to give me the cookie when she dangles it over my head. I set my rump on the floor so I can see it better and sure enough, I get a cookie. I think the word I taught TM to use is "Sit". She is very predictable!
Lowri, I am pleased that TM is so smart -- you are setting a record getting her trained. I'll bet if you roll over, she'll give you a cookie as well.
ReplyDeleteTraining our hoomans is very important - they are so amusing when they do our bidding! Love, Nicky
ReplyDeleteThat's really NOT funny! They DO train us! We only THINK we are in control--but NOT! Look at what we do because they want us to--we buy sheep for them--we go to the grocery store and buy THEM raw meat--frozen meals for us--we get them a LARGER vehicle than we need--so they can be comfortable in a crate with a soft bed. Do I really need to go on? All we get in return is lots of unconditionallove and affection--hummm, yup, we have the better deal. GOOOOO, Lowri!
