Day of Ash: I can bagel?

Day of Ash: I can bagel.

Ash got the papers this morning. He was so happy that as soon as the door opened, I had to correct him from rushing to give the papers to the security worker. He has been trying to make it up to me all morning, kind of.

As you see in the above picture, he is pouting with his dino, laying next to my chair. Anytime I move he checks on me.

Then, things changed.

This is Ash begging. For those who are just getting to know Ash, I can understand how you can’t tell the difference.

What is he begging for?

The boss asked if I wanted a bagel with some cream cheese. The only one he had left I could eat, was sour dough, which I am not fond of. Yet, the moment my hand touched it….

Ash pulled a Rico.

Pulling a Rico – Rico is a very intelligent Samoyed who has learned to only work if he can get paid. If the pay is enough, he will pull every trick he knows. In one single moment. This means you have a big white fluffy dog, in the air, wooing on the way back down, landing in a full down, and waving his paws at you.

Ash thankfully has not learned to bounce, and only woos when others are. Yet, I did get almost perfect tension on the leash, him grabbing things off the boss’s desk, and handing them to me with rather strong force.

How I imagine his brain was going:

“I am the best dog in the world. I get you things. Take it. TAKE IT!! Now give me bagel.”

He is back to the spot on my right instead of under the desk, and I did share some of the bagel with him when we got back to my cube.

Almost everyday I remember I need to bring treats for some additional training while at the office.

Everyday I forget to bring them.

Oh, then there is thisERMAGAWD Ear Rub!

Ash: “ERMAGAHD EAR RUB! Oooohhh yeaaaahhhhhh….”
