Potty Training

Well, guess what I finally got housebroken. I mean she did everything, talked to trainers, vets and even the neighbors with little dogs. She tried everything she could think of. I think she was thinking of putting me in diapers. If she only have showed me what she wanted I would have gotten it a whole lot sooner. How'd she do it?
She got the mail in and in it was a little round thing. It was in a little case. After she opened it she put in in a slot in the box under the TV. I like that TV thing especially when she does movies with dogs. Anyhow this round thing was all about dogs. Dogs getting treats for coming, barking at strangers and not pooping in the house. It showed lots of dogs scratching at the door. I thought big deal I can do that. So I watched all of the movie or whatever it was and then jumped down from the footstool went to the back door and scratched on the glass. She opened the door and I went out. Had to poop and pee anyway so I figured why not? For a minute there I thought she won the lottery. She was as happy as a clam. I wonder why people say that. What would make a clam sad anyway? I never even saw a clam. I've had them in soup and they aren't bad but you can't really tell if they are happy or not.
This went a long way to making her happy and that is what Bill wanted. So I guess I am doing my job. Buuut this evening I backslid a bit. She got me another toy and I haven't had one in a long time cause I eat them and it bugs her. Anyhow I was so excited I did remember to go outside but I was so happy I brought some in with me. She was not happy. I'm really sorry, but heck I'm just a kid. Give a guy a break.
I suppose given enough time I will finally be a real good boy, but like most boys I have my moments. I don't like to do things that make her mad, but I do like to bug her just a little. The thing of it is, if I have something she doesn't think I should have, I pretend I really, really want it and guess what? To get whatever I have she has to give me a treat. Good deal and it works every time.
You'd think she would learn, but she never does. If I really want to get her ratteled I steal paper. Doesn't really taste good, but it makes a great noise and she wants it back real bad. She chases me and chases me, but I won't drop it until I get a treat. Sometimes she is a big pushover, but I love her. Bill did too and I bet he is laughing just as hard as I am, when he sees how I hoodwink her. WILL CHECK IN NEXT WEEK. ENJOY YOUR SHOPPING FOR XMAS
