[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 60199"] Canine Mind Games After your humans give you a bath, DON'T LET THEM TOWEL DRY YOU! Instead, run to their bed, jump up and dry yourself off on the sheets. When your humans come home, put your ears back, tail between your legs, chin down and act as if you have done something really bad. Then, watch as the humans frantically search the house for the damage. Let the humans teach you a brand new trick. Learn it perfectly, but when they try to show it to a friend, stare at them blankly. When humans take you for a walk, sniff around the entire yard as your humans wait. Act as if the spot you choose will ultimately decide the fate of the earth. When out on a walk in a city, always pick the busiest most visible spot to go--especially if your human has forgotten to bring a plastic bag. When out for a walk, alternate between choking and coughing every time a strange human walks by. Make your own rules. Don't always bring back the stick when playing fetch with the humans. Make them go and chase it once in a while. When your humans come home, don't greet them at the door. Instead, hide until they think something terrible has happened to you. Then jump out loudly at them. When your human calls you to come back in, always take your time. Walking more and more slowly the closer you get to the door. Wake up twenty minutes before the alarm clock is set to go off and make the humans take you out. As soon as you get back inside, fall asleep. (Humans can rarely fall back asleep after going outside.)
