I do not like treats on my nose, I do not like them Sam-I-Am!

Woof! Have you doggies been working hard trying to master this silly balance-a-treat-on-your-nose nonsense thing that the Julie-people came up with as part of our "Back to School Special"?

Well, I have and let me tell ya - I've had just about enough of that nonsense! She started by putting a piece of my food on my nose, figuring that it's smaller and thus taking minimal effort to balance it there. While we did make some progress to the point that I'll let her put the silly piece of food on my nose once or maybe twice I just think the whole ordeal is beyond ridiculous and so I give up and roll over on my side to make her stop. Seriously, how humiliating! We only tried it with a big treat once and I got tired of trying to balance it and just did "roll over" instead to see if that would get her to leave me alone. Let's see if she likes it if I make her balance an ice cream cone (a treat that the people likes) on her nose.

I quit! Have any of you doggies mastered this nonsense though? Send me a picture or an e-mail and tell me about your training tricks!

Heya Hayle! :D

You are such a cutie! :)

Oh and my 4 month English Cocker Spaniel, Shadow just mastered this silly billy trick last week! You should tell your humans to increase the number of daily treats if they want you to do such crazy stuff! Thats what Shadow demanded and got it too! The spoilt brat! :D


Btw, (for your human), I have been browsing the net and learning so much about dogs and things for dogs that this concept of dog bakeries has me totally floored! We have nothing of the sort here in India...and after reading about so many "yummiliscios" bakeries, I've almost started dreaming of starting one...Maybe after I finish school...Its just such a thrilling idea! Also, recently I've started baking treats for my pup, and just enjoy it so much! If you could ever spare some time to share your experience/thoughts with me, I would love it!

Thanks :)

*wags and hugs*

Hi Shadow!
Woof! Thanks - I think I'm pretty darn cute myself ;-P. More treats = good. More treats on my nose = eh, no thanks. I'm impressed you can do it though. Nice work!

That's stinky that you don't have fun doggie bakeries in India. Doggies need yummy treats! Wish we could send you some of ours, but shipping to India would cost more than the bones themselves!

Thanks for saying "hi" though. Take care! Woof!!
