I was actually getting excited about becoming the world’s first sign spinning Dane, so I got up early to practice. Hmmm. Where would I get a sign to practice with? Oh, I know!
My parents have this silly rule that when they don’t want me to cross an imaginary line (like out of my crate or into a room), they say “no dogs!” and draw a line with their hand. You know, the rule is ok when they ask me to stay in my crate with the door open, or maybe out of the bathroom room or something (although I do like to get in there and snag the toilet paper). I guess I can handle that. BUT, when they tell me I can’t be in the kitchen where all of the food is, I say, “no way!!”
I talk back to them, sneak in, and pretend I didn’t hear them so I can be in the kitchen where the food is.
Anyhow, since I don’t like their silly “no dogs allowed” thing, I chose that sign to practice with. Here I am running around the yard with the sign.
I jumped up with it, spun around, and did a couple of cool tricks. Things were going well.
Then I got to thinking about how much I dislike them keeping me out of the food filled kitchen, and it made me mad. Grrrrrrr. So, I kinda “accidentally on purpose” like tore up the silly sign.
Then I remembered how much I LOVE to chew on sticks, and, well, you can guess what happened to the stick.
Maybe I won’t become the world’s first sign spinning Dane after all. It’s just too tempting to eat the signs and the sticks. Oh well. I tried.

Well, maybe you can think of another kind of job. Besides, in order to have that job, you should have an ipod, and they are tasty too.

Well Behr Behr, aren’t rules there for us to challenge? Keep trying, the people might forget or change the rules, we must ignore them now and again to check the rule status…. I’ve recently used ‘stealth mode’ in the kitchen, it was great and my Mistress took all the blame…
Love ‘n’ slobber

Sign Spinners
I hear sign spinners make a lotta money! This would be a really good advertising tactic. And my mom has the rule, no dogs in the house. So finally a few years ago we gave up on having dogs.
