cornered







dear diary,
so mom tells me i was a naughty boy yesterday, cuz when she asked me to come help her take sumptin to the mailbox, i totally ignored her and darted off into the street to bark at the fixit guy across the way. and that is how i ended up here, in the naughty corner. where i had to do my schoolwork for the day all by myself and think about what i had done. without a wii or duk duk or anythin. because i was naughty.

mom says i was so naughty that we are going to spend an extra ten minutes every day just training. outside.  no matter if it is raining or sunny or hot or cold.  because i did not listen to her and we were very lucky this time that i did not get hurt. and mom says she never wants anything to happen to me that would cause us to be apart. and she is right.

so if u see duk duk in school today before i do, please tell him that i will be late to recess.  cuz mom and i will be training. outside.  no matter if it raining or sunny or hot or cold. 

toodley-doo,
b. :)

So very thankful that you didn't get hurt. I had a nasty scare with my Weens today and "getting out" I can imagine how your Mommy's heart pounded. Hugs for Mom tonight!!

Some times my nose takes me places and I don't pay attention. Maybe I should go to training with you.

Good luck - YOU CAN DO IT!

Punishment is always hard to take, but for our own good... they say.

Glad you didn't get hurt, pal.

miss hannalei, doesn't everybuddy know it is national breakout day? it says so on my dachshund calendar. well i think so cuz mom took it away from me.

hee hee, hildy, if only! but mom says training is best one on one cuz otherwise it is too much of a distraction. and when it's one on one, u get all teh snackies!

yes max i suppose so. but somehow punishment should be more fun.

u know i was only defending my united states of baxter. but mom says i should maybe consider letting the house across the street peacefully secede from the union. for my own good. :)

hee hee frankie furter it is a good thing me n duk duk decorated while mom was busy with mister tasty ankles last week. otherwise it would have been the pits!

Baxter - what kind of snackies? I may be interested to do more tricks for mom. She gives me Greenies, but I usually hide them somewhere where I forget where I puts them...

"Hildy - Methinks Pupperoni makes the best snackies because they are soft an' can be broken into tiny little bites for aunties to give out at trainin' time, the bag is re-sealable an' you can snarf it down real fast an' be ready or the next one!" Guinness

Eek! Glad you didn't get hurt, buddy. :) But too bad about the punishment... maybe you can get some of those squirrels to join in and make it funner! ;)

Count yourself lucky! 1) that you didn't get hurt! Running across the street is VERY BAD and scares us moms!!!! 2) that you didn't get sent to your C.R.A.T.E. like my boys do if they're bad. No pictures or books in their crates - just a blankie and a chew toy!

Maybe we can chalk this up to "spring fever"??

aw thank u joey n maggie! and u can visit me anytime - i will even share my snackies with u!! :) b

hee hee hildy, according to the class we took eons ago, your mom should test out all sorts of treats and see which ones motivate u more than others. then u create like a snackie hierarchy, and then for like home use u can use the lower value ones and like in high distraction environments u use the high value really motivating ones. but me, usually actually we train with my meals so it is mostly my kibble i work with. or if between meals, we do broken up milkbones so even though i train for 10 minutes, i'm only eating 1 medium snackie. cuz i got a girlish figure i have to maintain u know! :)

hee hee, miss keren, mom says my body handles pupperoni such that, um, well the gas that comes out of my tushie is practically visible!!

yes i admit i was naughty. but i actually am emjoying the extra training. cuz really, i think it is a nice bonding experience for us! :)

uh oh, miss siol whenever i get the chance to visit u i will make sure to be on my best behavior!!

me too miss milly n shelb!

thank u mistermiss elephant shoes! i cannot wait to see your shoes cuz i bet all of me could fit in one!! :)
