Manners!

I thought I was doing pretty good by being housebroken and not destroying things. Molly thinks that is a good start, but that I could use better manners. She says that with the great potential that everyone at DOTCORNY talked about, there is no excuse for me not to learn a few basic things like sit, down, stay, come and heel.

We had our first 10 minute training session last night, and I think I'm getting the hang of "sit." It appears that when she says sit, if I put my bum on the floor I get cheese. Mmm... cheese! Maybe training isn't too bad. Molly thinks that with 10 minutes a day I should have the basics down in no time.

I have new pictures! I've been told that I am very hard to photograph because I don't hold still and I have a tendency to want to play with the photographer.

Do you like the new picture? Apparently one is supposed to hold still for pictures. That is why I am being held. Maybe when I get a good sit stay I'll be easier to photograph!
