Daisy here. Good luck in your agility, Graham. I hope your new place is better than Kibbles and Bits, if that's possible. Star, you mentioned the BAD thing! The penny bottle! It makes me cringe too. Mommy used it on me when I was a baby 'cause I was a little... what's that saying Mommy uses? Strong willed? Well let me tell you, the bottle works JUST as well as a can. That noise got me to stop ANYTHIN' I was doin'. Hopefully that's all yer class uses them bottles for, Graham. But the lady said empty? Empty bottles... hmm... only use I can see for empty bottles is playin', I used to spend hours gnawin' on plastic bottles till I started shreddin' 'em and leavin' 'em all over the house. Well good luck again. Now, have any of you Eastern doggies got lots of new snow? We did on Tuesday! Mommy even got to stay home and play with me (she explained to me that a snow day is a day that school gets cancelled 'cause of lots of snow! I like snow days!) Snow os so much fun. But I have been reading what Mommy wrote in other posts about havin' to save me from the deep snow... well she kinda exaggerated that! I was not STUCK... I was... I was pretendin' to be stuck. Yah, that's it! Ha, Mommy fell for that one! She had to come running and grab me out of that deep snow, and then she carried me inside and wrapped me in lots of blankets and gave me kisses, and then she sent her sisters out to shovel me a path. But I was fakin' it the whole time, see. Super Daisy Dog, get stuck in the snow? Ha! I think not. Yah I'm short but there's a lot of power packed into these teeny legs! Well I'm gonna go bark at nothing and wake up the family. Seeya all later!
Woofs,
Daisy
