Madigan Uses Her Brain
Just today I was talking about Madigan, complaining that she tends to act on
impulse without thinking. In October she's going to be 4, and she still hasn't gotten her full shipment of brains in the mail. Tonight she surprised me. MacKenzie was with me on The Chair. There is only room for one person and one dog on The Chair. Whoever gets there first gets to sit with mom. Madigan was standing a couple of feet away from us, and I could tell by the look on her face that SHE wanted to be on the chair. So I watched out of the corner of my eye to see what she would do. She looked at the toy box. She looked back at Kenzie. Keeping an eye on Kenzie, she went to the toy box and deliberately fished out their favorite tug-of-war toy. MacKenzie took the bait, and jumped off the chair diving for the tug toy. As soon as she had it, Madigan dropped her end and trotted over to The Chair. I swear Kenzie knew she'd been duped. She stood there looking at us with the tug toy hanging out of her mouth. Madigan stopped and thought something out! Whoo-hoo! And a pretty clever something, at that. :} Canine Action Dog Trainer http://www.canineaction.com My Kids, My Students, My Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dfrntdrums/m...age/index.html |
