[Dailydrool] Why not to teach your dog to trade

[Beth Howering]

Ok, I have never believed in trading something desireable for something I
did not want my dogs to have.  However, having been outsmarted in the
thievery department one too many times, I tried it.  HUGE mistake.  Oh,
don't get me wrong, it worked - and I got Vito to relinquish the item he
should not have.  Problem is - he is way too smart for his own good.  So,
having forgotten about the "trading" incident I went on my merry way, and in
the morning while dressing I went looking for my shoes.  Ok, ok, what is
this now???  There in the bathroom I saw a shoe peeking out from behind the
hamper.  As I bent over to retrieve it, I see that the other one is not
there.  Instead, there is a hedgehog.  Now I don't know about you, but I
can't wear a hedgehog on my foot.  I found the other shoe next to the toy
box.  I think I'm gonna have to go back to school.   This pup is way too
smart.

O Great Spirit, grant that I might not criticize my neighbor until I have
walked a mile in his moccasins.
