This is a post that I had on a previous blog that I removed. I wanted to save some of the posts. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve discovered that one of my Jack Russell’s has developed a knack for getting what he wants. I went for days thinking he had hurt his leg but then began to notice he only held it out when I was either eating or opening the refrigerator.

Finally, I asked….. does your leg hurt? He held out his back leg. I give him a bite of toast and he put the leg down. I went on eating, paying no attention to him only to look down and see his leg sticking out again. I told him to go on to bed. He retreated to his dog bed.

All through the morning I noticed everything thing appeared to be fine with him. That was until he was in the kitchen with me later on and I open the fridge. Suddenly, his back leg started sticking out again! I ignored it. I sat down at the table with a glass of milk and oatmeal cookie. I looked down and once again asked if his leg hurt. He lifted the same back leg and stuck it out. I give him a bite of cookie and the leg was all right. Have you ever?

That just goes to show you, even a dog can figure out the best means to a bite of cookie.
