“Lost in Puppydom: Rory Dylan Stephen’s Puppydom”: PERFECTING BEGGING SKILLS

PERFECTING BEGGING SKILLS

If you truly believed in Canine Lives Matter you would not demean our “persuasive food transference” skills by referring to them as begging.

Don’t you ever stop to wonder we beg to make you feel benevolent! You are exercising kindness and compassion towards a “dumb animal”. Who is the dumb animal in this case!!!!

Many of us puppies are new to the food persuasion game. I used to bark obnoxiously with limited success. Sort of like a human accosting passerby’s with hands out moaning some phrase attempting to invoke pity.

No, I have found sitting quietly close to my mark with wide open eyes maintain total silence is highly effective. Like being part of the senior management team of a corporation. Success is blending in with humans not barking for a raise like middle management. Play the game and your profit sharing might include tasty morsels of bacon, chicken (watch out for those bones) or steak. Meat is king for dogs but we’ll settle for just about anything.

Look at this way I am not a poor street urchin and you are not Mother Tereza. I am on “your team” so treat me as such and toss me a morsel! And for God’s sake don’t make me resort to obnoxious and crude begging techniques.
