Chapter 2013, page 20 of 365

so - yesterday we came up with some innovative ideas to get Annie to go outside without a human...we think that is one of the reasons we have a pottie training issue....

1.  put her favorite toy out front so she has to go out to get it (Althea came up with this one)
2.  put her bed on the front porch, same reason as 1.



3.  bought a game feeder, going to hang it in the front yard and program it to spread treats every two hours or so during the day....she's a dog...she'll find that food and then figure it out










 great ideas, right?  right.  sitting here on the computer, I turn and see her playing with one of her toys...takes a minute or two to register that it was out front earlier in the day....Tug didn't bring it in, how did it get in here?  why Annie must have gone and gotten it....hrmph....so, she IS going out, just not all the time...hhmm, think on that a while and decide to go ahead with the plans and see what happens.  That will happen tomorrow since neither the cat food nor the puppy chow will work in the feeder  sigh...

went to bellview to pick up a loveseat and stopped at petsmart on the way back, got a couple of things that might work...will let you know....
