When you have several dogs as we do, it’s fun to watch how
they operate. Scamper is a real cutie with a great personality and he has developed
a method by which he thinks he can get an extra treat. I came home this evening
from stocking up on their favorite bones. They seem to know when I drive in
that treats are aboard. Five of our eight dogs were patiently waiting for me to
exit the car.
I say patiently, but actually Scamper wasn’t as patient as
the others. He likes to stand on his hind legs and tap me with one of his front
paws. He will also stand and push the other dogs away so he can be the first to
get his treat. There is a method to his desire to be first. Scamper is pictured
below.
Scamper runs and hides his treat and comes back to get in
line for another. If I don’t give him another treat, and I don’t, he runs to
see if he can steal one from the other dogs. He won’t usually take the entire
treat, just the pieces that are not presently being chewed.
Tonight he tried this; while he was trying to steal from
Misty, Snoopy ran and took Scamper’s treat. I’m always looking for real-life
examples to use in my business classes and I think I have a lesson from Scamper’s
actions tonight.
