    You can teach an old Bob ...

    ... well, I didn't exactly teach, I tried it out the other day and to my surprise, for the very first time, he actually stayed with it on his nose! So yesterday I took the photo(s).

    Aww, what a clever boy he is, and he looks so proud! Did he get an extra treat for that? He should!

    Wow, handsome and well behaved, too. Bob, when are you going to fly to the US to live with me?

    It looks like he is saying, "ok, Mom has really lost it now but I'll just play along with her"! The last one looks like he's saying, "alright now, enough is enough!" LOL!!!

    Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

    Randi, yes, he did get an extra treat.

    Kim, I think you could be right about the enough is enough, he wouldn't keep the biscuit on his nose earlier this evening.

    I cannot believe I missed a Bob thread....almost....that's my boy! And sorry Ginger's Mom -- Bob...(sigh) is spoken for!

    Now Chris...what about balancing Ebby on Bob's nose...so he will learn not to pester her?

    Very cute, good job. I tried that with Nena and it took me almost a whole box for her to learn LOL jk but almost. And yet she still does not get it

    Chris, if you balance the bone closer toward the end of his nose, just on where the black part starts, he might flip it and catch it in his mouth as opposed to letting it slide. You might have to experiment to get just the right spot, but I will bet he will do the flip thing.
