Hi Everybuddy -
Many people that have met me are of course charmed by my unique personality and all agree on one thing - I am very persuasive. Notice that I didn't say "pushy". I'm never pushy.....I just seem to have a way about me that lends itself to encouraging others to do what I want them to do. Take for instance the other day. Shadow had one of my most favorite bones. Mom wanted me to mention that we have MANY Nylabones lying around the house. This one seems to be a particular favorite for all of us. I really felt that Shadow had it long enough so I set out to encourage her to let me have a turn. Here's how it went:
"Shadow - Mom's calling you! Really, she is"
"Shadow - Who's that outside??!"
Okay - so that wasn't too effective. That's when Plan B comes into play:
"I'll just lie here and wait until you're done"
Note the close proximity. The key is to gradually eek my way over into her space. She HATES that!
"Yep! Works everytime!"

Brice comes and steals the toy/bone that I have. But Momma always takes it back for me. But he does fall for the "look, there's a squirrel" trick.

We always fight over our bones too. Louie always drops the one he doesn't want right in front of Callie and when she grabs it he grabs hers. Pretty smart for being red.. hehe

Thanks for the advice, but this isn't about buying a scanner for the shelter. The shelter has one type and won't use it. It's about getting the shelter to USE one!! And to scan ALL animals. (He hates cats.) I am trying to go over the shelter mgr's head on this and need the correct info or the no-scan will continue.
Have you ever tried saying "WOOO!" real loud? That's what I do when Ammy takes my stuff. Mine. Mine, mine, mine.

WOO WOO Echo
Great Job! We do the same thing but we get into grab and run matches until mom yells at us and gives us each a bone to quiet us down! Works every time!
Hugs

Mom says I should pay attention to hope polite you are. You see, I just go up to Bella and take the bone away and run. Mom says that's not very nice.

You are good! I try the whole trick where I ask to go outside and then when Mom opens the door and Kat goes outside, I go get what Kat was playing with.

Oh my dogness Echo! I do the exact same thing!! I always get what I want because I can stare at Sasha longer than she can stand to be stared at.
