The Joy of Teaching

The new puppy was doing really well learning how to play Fetch. She would return the toy, drop it, lay down and stay while the toy was thrown, I’d give the release command and she’d bolt to the toy and start over. The last time I reached for the toy the game abruptly ended the same time as her attention span. I discovered that an enthusiastic, 45-pound puppy head is phenomenally hard when you stop it’s upward momentum using only your face. There was some blood and I sounded a bit like Mushmouth from Fat Albert, but I achieved the perfect full-lipped Hollywood Pout in mere seconds from the comfort of my own home. Hmmm, perhaps it’s time my dogs earn their kibble and start a side business... Perfectly Pouted by Zophia. And if things go awry, at least Halloween is just around the corner.
