Not sure if this contravenes any "rules" but here I am playing two games at once: "It's Yer Choice" while reclining on my "magic carpet." It was actually a game of "flying" treats and I was supposed to leave the treats that weren't preceded by a "yes." Mom explained the rules of this new version of the game by saying "leave" with the first treat she threw. From then on, the only word I heard was "yes" which meant I could eat the next treat that was thrown on the bed. I really enjoyed this game because most of the treats that were thrown followed a "yes."

| That's a tremendous amount of willpower for a 21-week-old puppy! |

| Treats have landed under my nose... |
 |
| and they're mine (not all of the "yes" treats landed this close to me) |
 |
| I've heard "yes" and I'm watching the treat fly toward me |
In short, with this game, I've been generously rewarded for: (1) staying calmly and quietly on a bed, (2) maintaining focus on Mom and (3) demonstrating great self-control, all while learning that (4) flying food isn't mine unless I've been told it is and (5) great things follow the word "leave." Time it took to get a huge haul of treats out of Mom: 10 minutes.
Well done Bodi!
