Both Aristotle and I have been told off for bad behaviour. Mum has sat us both down and explained \u2018again\u2019 that while she\u2019s looking after Alfie she cannot give either of us the amount of attention we would like. She rather sobered us up by saying that situation was not likely to be for that much longer. She\u2019s asked us both to be a little more patient and a lot more understanding. Apparently, it is not ok for Aristotle to poo in the snug right after he has been taken out, or for me to bark incessantly when I don\u2019t get what I want when I want it. I really can\u2019t think why. Of course, I don\u2019t think it helped when I laughed at what Aristotle has been doing and wished I\u2019d thought of it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently I\u2019m not in trouble for my new morning routine as I\nhave only been helpful so far. I\u2019m being good and staying in my crate in the office\novernight. I don\u2019t want to, but I can see why I\u2019m there. However, when I hear\nMum giving Alfie his breakfast, I know it\u2019s my turn next. At that point, every\nmorning, I open the crate door and let myself out so I\u2019m waiting behind the\nkitchen door when Mum comes through. Now, puppies, if you haven\u2019t worked out\nhow to open your crates, if it\u2019s like mine, use your paws like hands and hold\nthe door with one and the bit beside it with the other. Then rattle it back and\nforwards really fast and you can get the little hooks to flip over and move\nbackwards out of the way. No damage done and the door opened as it should be.\nYou\u2019d think the manufacturers would dog proof them really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m off to learn a new trick \u2013 what shall I try this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
