From the furry side

Obedience class
2/24/2009 8:43:52 AM by: Elsi

{comment from Elsi: Morgan is our obedience trainer; we're almost done with the current class, which is "remedial beginner"—this is Sallie's view of our Monday evenings ...} My friend Morgan plays the organ— That won’t work: too hard to rhyme! She’s my teacher, loves each creature. We all think she’s mighty fine! She says, “Leave it!” I believe it! She says stay … I hold my pose! When we’re working, there’s no shirking, ‘Cause what she says always goes! She’s so patient! Stands adjacent, Telling Elsi what to do. I’ve been learning “Heel!” with turning— Don’t you think you’d like this, too? Soon we’re finished—work diminished— Confident I’ll pass the test! End of story? I’ll have glory: Morgan clearly loves me best!

	Haha! Very good! My owner (Bear) has been neglecting my daily walks for some reason. But I don't mind, and I don't think Bear does either. We're content to stay inside out of the snow where it's warm. :)

	Elsi: This is delightful--so often our "pets" own US, not the reverse. I love this telling from your owner's point of view --

	Rosemary Carstens,
