DOG LAUGHS: The Student

gordonbagshawLeave a comment

Picture this: It’s midday, time is of the essence and we want our new puppy to poop on the lawn. We know the drill, because we’ve been here before. Some things are just out of our control. We want him to do his business, but he wants to graze on the lawn, chew on a twig, play with the ant that’s scurrying past his snout, or perhaps he just wants to talk about clovers. But if we’re patient enough, we just might learn a thing or two.
