Week 2 November 2016 | Maxine

It is me. Maxine. I am thinking Mom needs retraining! It has always been a rule of our house that Turbo and I get a treat when she goes away from home. As far as I am concerned, that is a simple thing for her to remember. Well, today I saw Mom pick up her keys so I went to her for my biscuit … as I always do. Dang! She started walking away without stopping at the treat jar. I darted ahead of her and sat in front of the door so she could not open it and looked up at her. Staring hard! I was thinking, “Do not even think about leaving this house till I get my treat!” Mom said, “Oh, sorry, Maxine. I almost forgot.” Forgot? She almost forgot!? How could anybody forget treats! I stood my ground, staring at her till that treat jar was open and a biscuit was in her hand. Once it was in my mouth that was that. She had my permission to do whatever she wanted to do.
