Can't have Nellie boo getting in touch without me

Nellie is in charge of property protection and I will race out if she calls for back-up but I generally stick close to our creature. She often has some sort of food to hand. I help with the cleaning by licking up any crumbs or sometimes clear away any food from unguarded plates. The rule is, if food is within reach and the creature is absent, then the food is mine

She is learning but does forget the rule at times

We go to dog school every Saturday afternoon and I love the two trainers to bits. I grab every opportunity to go to them regardless of what I should be doing, they sometimes sneak me treats but I do return to the creature when called. What have I learned so far? Twirl and spin but could do that anyway, walk back, bow, static weave and walk weave, peek-a-boo and find the car keys once they have been hidden. Now learning to indicate that I have found the keys by lying down when I find them, learning to hold things in my mouth - not all at the same time obviously

that would be mad! Have to learn to wipe my paws on a mat. The only thing I can't really do yet is sit up and beg, I usually stand on my hind legs and grab the creature with my front legs and mug her for my treat

We have to do a lot of work on that one

All in all life is quite jolly. Had a dental a few months ago and the vet found four bad/loose teeth so they were removed otherwise a clean bill of health. Been groomed and look fabulous

Thank you for helping me DID, I owe you my life

One day the creature will bring Nellie and I for a visit so we can all say thank you in 'person' (ppssst, Nellie and I are dogs, not persons - just in case you didn't know

)
