Because the Seer hasn’t had much experience training dogs, she has always tongue in cheek claimed that she isn’t a “doggy person .” The new family puppy that she got in response to her daughter’s job that entails the removal of the bodies of the deceased during this particularly stressful time, seemed very fond of her, however. I decided to find out how successful she was at being the puppy’s caregiver. I heard her talk to the puppy in the following way:
The Seer: “ Now Trixie, we’ve spoken about this before. To expect different results when you apply the same cause is faulty reasoning. I can tolerate the occasional mess on the Persian rug, but I will not indulge flawed deduction.”
Trixie (AKA as the Sock Bandit): “Woof!” (looking hopefully at the doggy treat bag).
The Seer: “If you keep biting the other dogs, you won’t have any friends to play with. The only friend you’ll have is the stuffed pink monkey who doesn’t seem to mind.”
Trixie (still looking hopefully at the doggy treat bag): “Woof woof!”
The Seer: “Good, I’m glad you agree. This has been a productive little talk. Thank you for listening.”
Trixie finally gets her long-awaited treat.
Conclusion: The Seer may have a point: She is not a “doggy person.”

Hopefully, little Trixie will be able to take to heart the seers wisdom. Because I have a feeling her little puppy mind is going to have some difficulty comprehending. Are we sure “Woof woof!” doesn’t translate to “I have no friends only servants” ?

In gratitude for the story Tina

great story and pics…. I suspect Trixie is just soooo overwhelmed with excitement with her new home & Mistress, that she just wants to BITE something?? hahahahaaa

Life is so great! 🙂 Where else can we daily interact with a mischievous and smart little dog named Trixie! If everything behaved perfectly life just wouldn’t be so funny! It keeps us smiling and yes at times frowning too (but smiling inside!). Almine is full of humor and love, as I am. Thank you dearest Tina for sharing this light-hearted pie-slice of Life. 🙂

My theory – if you have a dog or dogs in your house and you give them treats – you are a dog person. Therefor I am not a cat person. :-). Although I have done some cat-sitting. I have two granddogs that take me out for walks and play with me and love my treats. Love the matching headband and scarf! Thank you for sharing this with us Almine and Jaylene and Tina!

Christel says
Oh.. I should have talked to Ranger like this when he reshaped the corners of all my Persian carpets.. but smart he is. He did/ does this chewing only when I was/am out of sight… when I call and scold him after I discover his work, he looks at Tina..

LOL! Cute! I remember her talking to Sunshine and Violet (my cats) as they followed her around the house. I don’t remember what the conversation was but I think it was informative. 😻
