Had to set things straight with my dachshund friend this morning.

She finally agreed that from now on when she needs to make a ‘lump sum deposit’ that, instead of hinting with a soft hardly audible growl from the other room for me to hurry and lift her off the bed in time, she will, from this day forward, insure getting my fast attention by using the same piercing yelp she has a habit of employing whenever she insists on an extra treat.

Of course she did rebuttal at first by telling me that a loud bark would contract her muscles thereby speeding up the ‘deposit process’ before help was on its way.

So much for  house-training negotiations with a certain, young dachshund.
