Workin' The System

[Sandishooligans]

Yeah, dat's what my mommy and papa says I know how to do well.  Dis is Dolly and I was wondering ifs youse could help me to know zactly what this means.  Dis is what my hoomans say I do.  Well, aren't ya suppose to get a cookie when you come in from a successful potty job?  So when I come in, I EXPECT a cookie.  Wuz wrong wiff dat?  Now to ME, that means; come IN  door, GET cookie.  So the way Ize figgers it, I can step out on the porch and march right back in and DEMAND my cookie.  Don't dat sound right?  Mommy and papa sez DAT'S workin' da system.  I think it's just plain smart bizness and good math.  In + Out = COOKIE.  And so In + Out x 2 or 3 or 4 = 2 or 3 or 4 cookies. Do youse see a problem here?  I tink I'm just a smart doggity who knows what I want and goes after it.

Ok, which of you have been talking to Schatzi when I've been at work during the day? Someone needs to 'fess up. I just knew I saw dogprints on the computer screen last week and now I know why. Schatzi has recently decided that she, too, should be able to walk out the door and come right back in and get a cookie and then do the same thing again. She seems to think that leaving the sidewalk shouldn't be necessary. I think she has had a wonderful teacher from the board here.

Taffy tried working this con on us, and just couldn't understand why she got told no.  I think they must be spreading the word.

I gots that one down too Dolly. If it's dark I just go out on my ramp, stand close to the side of the house and hold realllly still for a minute. Then I turn around and race back in, leaving just enough time that I "coulda" gone potty. I never knew my Mom sits on the counter and watches me. She was wondering why I had to go potty 10 times in the evening...I still get a cookie though, for cuteness Mom sez. We doxies RULE!
