Luigi, Luigi, ya gotta lern the tricks of gettin ur mamma/pappa to melt, it doesn't take mus effirt either.....I have just figured out that when iz drop my tenis ball on the side of the sofa between it and myz crate and stand on the arm of the sofa and bark that my mamma won't come res q my ball anymore,,quess she's just geting tired of always gettin it, but it iz just soooooooo much fun to drop it there

....well now I just go in my crate, stick my head out and give this pityful look

and a few wimpers....works like a charm

she melts and gives in everytime and fetches my ball for me
