Hello friends!
So sorry for the disturbance yesterday. I have had a serious talk with the guilty parties and we are in negotiations right now. Owner Girl thinks I should let them post every now and then so that I can have a bloggy break. Plus it might help me make some kitty cat friends. But I'm not so sure I want them on my blog, it's supposed to be all about me! I'll keep you posted...
In other news, I got a wonderful award from Levi!
The award states: "This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!" In other words, blogs that receive this award "are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
I would like to pass this award on to:
Bae Bae
Clover
Dannan
Dozer & Cooper
Fenway
Mona
Persephone & Buster
Three Happy Heelers
Now onto the super cool trick I know!
BOW
(Sorry for the less than pawfect pic, Owner Girl was in a hurry)
Here's what your owner should do:
1. As always get some yummy treats!
2. Have your dog stand. Hold a treat low to the ground slightly in front of your dog.
3. If your dog starts to lay down put your other hand under her belly to hold it up while her top half is down. Have her stay in that position for a few seconds and then give her the treat!
4. Some dogs will stretch out in a "bow-like" position, if your dog does use those opportunities to teach her this trick. When she first gets up wait for her to stretch out like that and when she does say "good Bow" and give her a treat!
5. As your dog gets better at bowing, you can try having her do it without your hand holding her up. Also, you can have her stay in that position for a little longer before giving her the treat.
6. Once your dog is performing this trick consistently you can phase out the treats and phase in a simplified hand signal.
7. Your dog will be bowing with the best of them in no time.
As always, these are just the steps that worked for me and Owner Girl. If they don't seem to be working for you and your dog, don't worry! There are many other resources and professionals out there that can help you! Remember to keep training sessions short and fun for your dog.
Good luck and Happy Training!

Hi Tibby! Glad you're back! Hmm... bowing seems awfully polite and civilized, and you know, I have a reputation to uphold as the wild and crazy Golden Retriever that I am. When are you going to have the eat-the-flower trick? I'm good at that!
Your friend,
Joey

We will have to try that trick. That is somewhat how we taught Louie his down since he can't hear we have to do all hand signals. Mom is really surprised at how quickly he catches one..

Hi Tibby, thanks for stopping by my blog.
That's a cool trick you can do.
I only know sit, lay down, no and stay.
My blog friends say I am very good at fetch though. It's my fav game.
What's yours?
Hope we can be friends

Sigh, sometimes we need to share our bloggies. I'm not sure why. Just try to keep it down to once per week. I need to see YOU!

Hi Tibby. I come when my name is called. I think that's pretty good for a kitty! Thanks for visiting me, have you told Beta and Lynx to join Cats with Blogs? They should!

congrats on the award !!!
I am most impressed with that photo...a real bow of respect!
I bet you're dealing with the icy rain, too. We've run out of ideas for indoor games. I've already played hide & seek with my breakfast kibble, barked a bit and then whined.
Any ideas for the rest of the day?
Your pal,
Fenway
Thanks for visiting my blog, Tibby. I love meeting new pups and making new friends! Congrats on your award and thanks for the tips on bowing. May I link your blog on mine so that I may keep up with your adventures?
Tib,
Congrats on your award! Nice bow. You're so good!
Pedro
Hi Tibby!
Congrats on the award and I love your new trick. My mom is gonna try to teach me this one, too, but it's really hard for me to concentrate when I see a treat. I dance and prance around and trying to just "sit" while waiting for it is a challenge!
Congratulations on your award. You are very clever doing that trick.
