Hres a poooem bout me lernin to "come."<br><br> Decision, Decisions, Decisions<br> by Maggie Honnold as told by Hollyberry Christmas<br>A trip to the back door is lots of good fun, sometimes I walk slow and sometimes I run.<br>A go down the back steps and wait by the door, so I
don't make my Ma mad and pee on the floor.<br>She comes down the steps, opens the door just for me, and into the garage place I run with great glee!<br>For my Pa's garage is stacked high with stuff, which has made my Ma yell loud, "ENOUGH STUFF...ENOUGH!"<br> (my Pa is an auctioneer...he has LOTS of stuff)<br>I have to cut through there to get to the back door, which causes a sniffer and obedience war.<br>But from a Basset Hound level with nose to the ground, too many smells in that big garage abound...<br>I can't decide which way should I run...do I smell them right now or wait 'til I'm done?<br>'Cause I smell: kitties and mices and a cat box I do...there are garden tools, mulch and a nice boot or two.<br>AND...furniture, tractors, paint cans and toys; bicycles and roller skates for both girls and boys.<br>That's when my Ma says, "Holly, come here for in all of that
stuff you'll get lost I would fear."<br>"There are too many things for a puppy to do so come here, come on girl...go outside now...just shoo."<br>But I am still learning about minding and coming, so it's not 'til she's chased me around I come running.<br>She then snaps on the leash which helps me decide, 'cause that leash on my neck...it won't let me hide.<br>And...it's outside I go for a romp in the yard, there are good smells there too and it isn't too hard <br>to decide what to do and which way to go ....for...my nose will I follow...it's not just for show.<br>I have a Basset nose...where it goes I go...not much of a decision after all...<br><br>Hpy Mudders Day, Lub Hollyberry<br><br><br></div></div><br>
