He he sat on his soft little pillow of a throne between our seats...eating small bites of fries, then daddy feeding him small bites of cheese curds...OH, was he Happy He laid down and fell asleep......You mean all this time all he wanted was to be fed junk food while the car was moooooving? Two days ago, I took him with me to run to get take out for dinner and he sat on his soft little throne again with minimal noise, just a few whines, and was thrilled when I rolled down the window to let him look inside the drive-up window of the sandwich place. He was such a GOOD boy on the way I home I almost thought someone switched Yorkies on me!... |
Well, yesterday we gave the "bribe" process a chance. Charlie loves popcorn! The wife gets those 100 calories per bags and when she gets one - ole Charlie goes nuts! He runs up and down his couch steps waiting for the wife to open up the bag. The wife will prep a piece and feed it to Charlie - he loves them. The wife eats most of it though.
So, the wife got into the back seat of our car (
bag hidden). When Charlie starting going nuts - the wife opened up the bag in front of him - no reaction - kept screaming. She tried to give him a popcorn - he ignored her offer and kept screaming. We pulled into a gas station and after a few minutes Charlie finally stops and then decides to jump onto the popcorn. The wife gives him a few and then hides the bag again. We pull out of the gas station get a ways up the road - get ready to turn and Charlie goes into his screaming mode ignoring his popcorn. Another possible solution bites the dust!
