I have to admit I am quite a talented dog if I do say so
myself. I have perfected the art of sit, stay, act like a bear, head down and
my parents personal favorite...leave it. However, one of the more advanced
tricks I have yet to perform for them is to roll over on command. It's not that
I can't; I'm perfectly capable of rolling over but it seems silly to me. Unless
I have an itch on my back or I'm sleeping I see no point in performing the
trick. The other day my little sister decided to one-up me and started doing
barrel rolls on the floor. I watched in amazement as my parents yelled with
excitement while she huffed and puffed like an out of shape dog trying
desperately to reach her goal of grabbing her toy. I had to chuckle; here she
was doing all this work and not even getting rewarded with food?! What fun is
that? And why were they getting so excited anyways? They never get that excited
when I do a trick. I even tried to help her out since it was clear she was
struggling and attempted to relocate her toy closer to her hands; my parents
were not impressed. Maybe I'll surprise everyone and bust out a few new tricks
like "fetch the baby” and "guard the baby" and really impress
them...that should guarantee me treats AND a toy...
