Happy Puppy

Hi everybody,
As I feel so happy today I thought I would let you see a picture of me with the Big Black Dog. You can see how I've taught her to know her place, couple of steps behind me!
I have had such a great day and for once they are praising me, Wow.
This morning we went out for our usual puppy walk and oh my golly gosh they took a bag of dog treats.
There was this lady coming with some little dog, you know one of those really small ones that you can utterly dominate. I was a little muddy too by then, not that it bothered me one bit. I started to run, as I took my first leap, I heard the rustle of a bag and the word, treats. Not being one to ever turn down food I went back for a bite. Very nice. The lady was walking past but somehow just by looking at the other dog, treats kept coming my way. Oh this will do quite nicely, thank you.
Only problem was I then realised what I had done, they called me a very good girl. But hang on a minute I've just lost a game.
So what do I do the next time we meet a doggie play pal, do I play and get told off or do I forfeit the game for food and a pat on the head.
Oh the problems of life, I'm too little to work that out!
I overheard more good news when we got home, the builders are leaving next week, but I also heard new men are coming. Oh goody new men to train, wonder what work they will do?
I have a problem in my garden, how do you undig a hole?
I've dug this big hole you see, no one seems to have noticed or they have just given up on me! But when I run round the garden I now keep falling in this hole and it hurts, so how do I undig?
Well I think its time to go on a cat hunt, if he really has to insist on crossing my garden this regularly then I am certain he does so purely to have a game and if he wants a game, who am I to say no.
Bye for now, remember puppies rule.........

Hey Buffy and BBD, too!
Looks like things are looking up for you!
A WHOLE BAG of goodies? Man! You can't get any better than that!
I learned some vocabulary about this process they use.
They have discovered
your "currency"...that 's the treats.
And they are using "distraction"...that's the part where you forget to play with the other dog, because they are using your "currency" against you...well, not AGAINST you, cause you get treats, but you forget to ...Oh, shucks, I forget.
Anyway, it's all good, cause you get treats!! Good girl!

And new men to train! You are in tall cotton.
About the hole. They cannot be undug. But the cat might fall in, and not be able to get out, so don't worry about it. You could even make it bigger...
Gosh, it's so much fun to talk to you. My tail is waggin'.
