Tricks

Every morning Rarf and I go to the park---VERY early, when I'd still rather be sleeping. But once I wake up, it's fun cause I can tear all over the place. Then we always practice tricks for a while. I'm really good at the whole sit, stand, down thing. I'm really good at "come,"---except if I see something terribly interesting. I do okay at "stay," but it's pretty boring. I'm learning "down" from a distance---that confused me for a while.

Lately Rarf has been throwing a ball so I can "get it," "bring," and "give." (I don't like "give" so much---why won't she just chase me???) I really just like running after the ball. This morning she pulled a sly one: she used a ball that squealed when I grabbed it. Scared the fur off me---I thought I hurt it!

My wicked best trick is "wait." Rarf says "wait" and I can stop and turn on a dime!
