Well my little darlin Brookie is pretty smart if I do say so myself! She was born Dec 7th so she is just a little tyke..HOWEVER..she learned a really sweet trick without me even "teaching" her. I had a bag custom made for Brookie because the ones in the store were too expensive..you know the kinda you carry small dogs around in. Well today, my husband and I were getting ready to leave, and I put the bag on the floor and told Brookie from across the room to "get in your bag"...I was absolutely FLOORED..when she ran across the room and sat right in it. I guess she learned inadvertantly that if she gets in the bag mom and dad take her bye bye. SO CUTE! I will post pics of the infamous bag when I get my USB cord!
