Fubu waiting patiently to see if Cole drops any crumbs or becomes disinterested in his teething biscuit.
The coveted water bowl. This is a story in itself. This is the one thing that has been off limits to Cole so far. Typically kept in the family room, it is just on the other side of the room from his toys. Mark and I decided that we need to teach Cole the word "no" and he needs to obey for safety and for other reasons. We started telling Cole "no" regarding the water bowl and he listened great at the beginning. We would say no and he would stop. The next week, he would crawl over towards it and stop right infront of it, look at us, see if we were going to say the magic word (which of course we did) and then he would lean closer, we would say "no" again, he would stop and think about it for awhile.... and then lean in again, at which point we would pick him up and divert him. Now...unfortunatley, the word seems to have no meaning, I think he has already discovered selective hearing. So we have tried moving the water bowl all around the house - poor dog can't find a drink when she is thirsty. Now it is back in the family room and we are continuing to try to teach Cole the word"no." We'll keep you posted, but so far...not good. ;-)
Cole also seems to think that if things are good enough for the dog, they are good enough for him!
Yummm.....dog bones!
