will work for food

Some of you were asking if I got a bite of the birthday cookie. The answer is NO, I did not.
I got no closer to the food than this. Nobody was willing to share, and it's not because there wasn't enough food. So......Fig, Tad and I came up with a plan.
We decided to go all out and work for food.
Fig went to work first, and it took a lot of concentration for her to lay still on her back in such a vulnerable position.
Tadpole went next, and he had a harder time.
PPP was number 3, and with great effort, I focused on relaxing in Hannah's arms.
All of this work, and none of us got a nibble of the birthday cookie and even worse, not a smidgen of Grammy's strawberry pie.

Next time we're going to steal for food.

You look pretty relaxed in the Boy's arms, Miss P.

I can't believe that after all that hard work you didn't get any food! Good thing our legislators are working on equal rights for dogs.

Hi, Petra!
Hmmm... yes, it is a better idea to steal food than work for it!
Kisses and hugs

Hi Petra!
I'm sorry you did all that work for nothing! Stealing food is definitely a better idea as long as you don't get caught! My owners better share their food with me this weekend cuz we're celebrating Tibby Day!

I do tricks for treats, but when it comes to strawberry pie you've got to take things into your own dewclaws.

Tadpole and I have the same shape - super skinny middle, and deep, narrow chest. Mom always says I'm not shaped like a cocker spaniel. Apparently I'm shaped like a Tadpole.
