Last night we had to turn the clocks back to standard time. That means I had an extra hour to play and get into mischief—WRONG! I was so tired I just went into the bedroom and laid there. Mamaw called but I didn’t go to her. She came looking for me and then decided I was ready for bed so she brought my kennel in and I climbed in with a sigh of relief!

This Bark Buster training is wearing me out. I am beginning to get the picture that Mamaw IS THE LEADER. That has its good and bad moments. I like it when I feel she is in control and I don’t have to worry about a thing. On the other hand, sometimes I think I have to be in command so there you go…

Since we gained an hour, I was up at 6:00 a.m. The day has begun very nicely but I got naughty and started chewing on my leash so Mamaw got that God awful Bitter Apple and put some on my taste buds; then she rubbed it up and down the leash so I suppose she is taking that away from me.

Poppy and Mamaw did note though, that I am much calmer and only when I get totally unreasonable do I have to go back in the kennel. It is really quite pleasant!Last night we had to turn the clocks back to standard time. That means I had an extra hour to play and get into mischief—WRONG!
