There seems to be a lot of training going on at my foster home. Friday night was special. My foma got us all leashed up and we each got a cool glow ring. I just knew we were headed out for nice night walk. But we never left the front yard. We just stood around until it got dark.
Foma also had a big bowl of treats but we didn't get any of that either. So far this training session was a bit boring.
Then the children started showing up and I realized foma wasn't training us, she was training the kids. It was fun to watch. Each child was wearing a funny costume. When they came to foma, they had to say the magic phrase, trick-or-treat. If they said it just right, then foma gave them treats from the big bowl. For me and Dolly this was the first time we witnessed this training of the children but it was fun. If the children were really good, we helped foma out by rewarding them with snuggles and wet kisses.
The down side to all this training was I didn't get any treats from the big bowl. They must have been really good too because every child worked hard to get some. I suppose just helping foma out with all the kids was enough. Ear scratches and pettins wasn't so bad either but I needed a long nap after such hard work. Maybe next year foma could train the kids to bring us pups some yummy treats. I'll go make that suggestion.
