The Big Silver Button

mom is learning me how to push this button she says its for humans who cant open doors by themselves and she said dogs can learn to do that for them. today i could stand up on my back legs and push on it with both of my front paws. mom got really excited and happy cause i did it just right! she tried to make a movie of it but she had to put her camera on the table and i kept moving around so i didnt get on the movie.
yip yip!





Apparently Cowboy has decided that he does not like the cold weather.  Several times today he’s indicated that he needs to go outside and will follow me down the hall to the back door, but as soon as I open the door he turns around and hightails it back to the living room.

We played the paw press game again this morning with the silver button, and within only a minute or so he figured out that he is supposed to press the button now and not my hand, and did so very reliably!  The second time I held the button up high so he would have to stand on his back legs to reach it.  He figured that out very quickly and now does that just as well. 

I wanted to take him out and work on leash manners with him, but this sudden cold snap and snow deterred my plans, as the temperatures are much too cold for his sensitive paws to be walking on snow and ice. We’ll just have to wait for a little bit warmer weather.
