What a smooth little man! I'm sure he's not one bit spoiled!
SPOILED???!!! Not a bit! I've told him he can't have an allowance, can't have a girlfriend, and can't go hang out with the boys at the bar. I've told him to stay off the phone, too. He doesn't have an e-mail account or a cell phone, and I won't allow him to browse the Web unless I'm there with him.
He only gets Beggin' Strips two at a time, once a day, and he must wait until I sit down before he can come over and pull them out of my shirt pocket. We also refuse to let him take up the whole King-Size bed. He gets the middle half, and Mrs. RR and I get the outside quarters.
He is not allowed to jump up on the table when begging.
He occasionally must be reprimanded for barking at people, but when he leads me on a squirrel hunt, I tag along happily behind him.
He has 3 doggy beds in addition to the King where he lets us share the bed with him at night. One doggy bed is on my wife's desk, under the office window, so he can watch the street, another is on her crafts table, under that window for the same reason, and the third is for the car, when he may get sleepy after a few hours curled up in Mrs. RR's lap.
Nope, he leads a pretty tough life. I remind him though, of less fortunate animals, like the ones forced to do tricks on television.
