Lady: Lee I must tell you, you have been being a very good girl lately. You have been calmer, you haven't destroyed anything, we have even been able to do some off leash training. I am so proud of you.
Lee: Thank you. I have felt like being good.
Lady: Is there a reason you feel like being good now?
Lee: Well after seeing Emma in action, I realized that bad could be really annoying. And she was so bad you got rid of her. I don't want you to get rid of me. Even though sometimes I am naughty I love you very much and want to stay here.
Lady: We didn't get rid of Emma because she was bad, she was just visiting when Uncle Chris was away. She was only staying for a bit.
Lee: That is what you say. How can I trust you?
Lady: Oh Lee!
Lee: I noticed you have been going away a lot more. I don't like when you go away.
Lady: I am away for 4 nights this month Lee. That is not too bad. They aren't all at once.
Lee: I hate when you go away. It makes me so sad. Don't go. I will give you sad eyes.
Lady: Well Lee, I took some work contracts out of town and I need to go. If I don't go, we won't have money for food and treats.
Lee: On second thought, you should go away as much as you want and since you feel so bad leaving me, you should bring back lots of treats.
A gold star for you. Great argument Lee and don't forget the sad eyes. Have a terrific Tuesday.

Very good coummination skills, we just need to work on being a little, no a lot more demanding on the treats!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Oh my yes! She better bringback lots od treats!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
We agree! The more she goes, the more treats you get
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Maybe if you give her really sad eyes, she'll bring back twice as many treats. That would be cool! Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat negotiating Lee! I hopes your mum gets you LOADS of treats, especially since you're being so good!
ReplyDeleteLove Milo :)
Lee, in the end you've got the right idea! Bring back treats :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

ReplyDeleteHope you do get lots of treats when she gets back!

Lee, you have such great reasoning skills.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'd have the same conversation with my dog, Beamer. He'd be very calculated in his thought process and then end it off with asking for more treats.
