You Can Teach a Stuffed Dog New Tricks



Sept 19, 2009 This is the conversation at my dinner table:


Andrew: that dog next door is a BAD dog because he chewed up my umbrella


Mommy: no, he's not a bad dog; he just needs to be trained


Andrew: I know, Zachary can do it because he trained Lenny (his stuffed dog)


Zachary: Yeah, mom. When I tell him to sit, he does!


Mommy: um.... well that's not quite the same thing.


Andrew: that's right mom, Lenny is a good dog!


Mommy: well, yes, but....


Zachary: I know! Lenny can just show him how to be a good dog!Zachary: I know; Lenny can teach him how to be a good dog.


Case closed. J
