[Cirlonde]

My 'meanest' trick with Chloe is to pull a 'Charlie Brown & Lucy' on her. I act like I'm gonna throw a toy for her and fake her out. When she turns back to look at me (usually a fair distance away), I set the toy down and kind of twitch it. She'll sink down into her 'hunting crouch' and get really stiff. Then suddenly fly towards the toy and just at the last second I jerk it away. She will do it over and over again, but the longer it goes on the more aggravated she gets! And when she misses the toy, she lets out the most frustrated bark! It absolutely cracks me up.

I'll also play chase with her and follow the same path several times. Then when she's running from me, I'll duck into a different room but she'll continue to the follow the old path. As soon as she runs by, I'll pop out of my hiding place and spook her! She always looks so happy to have found me!
