[Dailydrool] Training the help

[Dale Rutz]

Hi all, momPerson here,

I've just realized something.  We've lived in this very house more than 15 
years.  Since the girls came along we've had some help with the yard and the 
upkeep.  The housekeeper comes in on a day a work in the office.  I've always 
left her about half a dozen dog treats to bribe the dog to get out of her way 
and/or come back inside if they got loose.  Usually we'd come home and find the 
container and the treats she didn't use.  Similarly we leave a container with 
treats in the side yard (which is double gated) so that the gardener and the 
meter reader can be welcome in the dogs eyes.  Once or twice a month I'd 
replentish the treats. Well, we've never had had a basset before.  I guess I'm a 
little slow on the uptake but I just filled the outside container AND the inside 
container last night.  I guess the housekeeper and the gardcner came today while 
I was at work but guess what...... BOTH of the those containers are EMPTY.  And 
I KNOW I put at least half a dozen in each ..... yesterday.  And now that I 
think about it the same thing happened last week .... and the week before that 
... and ..... ummmmmmm

Somebody's been retraining the help and it's not been me and it's not been Cyrus 
either or he'd have done it years ago.

Did I mention Snoopy's back to normal?  Yesterday he was stealing everything in 
side, snarking at Cyrus and then he was a holy terror on their walk.  Yup, back 
to normal around here.

P.S.  Drool to all in need ... we've got plenty.
