Tricks are so darling.
For Wylie's obedience class at our local Humane Society, he had to learn a trick for graduation - and we taught him "TOUCHDOWN!" - which means he goes up on his back legs and reaches his front legs super high into the air to signal a
touchdown!
Once, my in-laws were dogsitting him for about a week and they were watching a football game - and they'd yell TOUCHDOWN when their team would score (but they didn't know about Wylie's trick, of course) - and there Wylie would go - right along w/ the Refs on TV - my in-laws called us and were all "Does Wylie UNDERSTAND
football???".
