Diary Entry #3, More Training Required, Again

Dear Diary,

Time: 6:15 p.m., Saturday

Location: Dark house, kitchen and living room

Assignment: Create repeat training for loyal owner who left house at dinner time, 4:15 p.m., knowing better than to break such house rules.
We are dinnerless, and in the dark...total disregard for previous training about such behavior. Consulting with lady greyhound racer, Ashley, a plan is devised to wreak havoc and cause loyal owner to regret fully the actions tonight.

Results: Loyal owner arrives home at 6:30 p.m. then stays up most of night with Ashley, who refuses to eat dinner, refuses the extra hamburger from McDonald's (guilt present), and who roams the yard in the dark, looking ill and about to die at any minute. (Nice touch, Ashley!) My part is to look concerned and to eat my dinner, my hamburger, and Ashley's as well. Also, I am to go to the front door constantly, looking worried about trusty friend's welfare. The plan works like a charm. Guilt is everywhere...This leaving at dinnertime will never happen again, I can guarantee it; retraining always proves beneficial. Of course, we both were back to normal the next morning. Ahhhh, teamwork.

Signed with pleasure,

Abel, head of household and enforcer house rules
