Wow Dennis…the cones that your mom is using for you was a really good idea. I’m sure those cones help a lot to keep suspiciously friendly Afghans at bay. And great that you had Trixie for back-up…even if she was distracted by reading peemail and then getting her head scratched.

You were very well behaved Dennis. I think that kind of good behavior deserves 10 extra treats!

Too bad you had to go home. You were probably a lot safer at the harbor with Mama and Dada than at home where you’ll just get into more mischief. 🙂

What a good idea to head out with the cones and the treats and practice being calm. I never would have thought of bringing along cones. I should really try that with Rita!
