Faster Than a Greyhound, ME, Not My Mom

My mom is way too slow. Usually she wants me to perform tricks, but when it comes right down to it, she is wayyyy tooooo slowwww in telling me the commands, so I just do the tricks on my own before she even tells me what to do. Plus, I am a mind reader. Yeap, I know exactly what she is going to ask me to do!!

Anyhow, Luckie the Dachsie was wondering how to learn "Bang bang." Well, Luckie, I don't know if this will help you, but here I am "playing dead."

Play Dead, Take 1:


Play Dead, Take 2:


Play Dead, Take 3:


Hee hee, did you notice in the last segment of the last video that I do all the commands BEFORE my mom says them, and then afterwards she just states what I have performed? I have my mom trained well!

On another note, my mom just sold her very first ribbon necklace for dogs! Congratulations Mom!!! She just opened up her Etsy web site this past weekend. Her first sale happened today. The transaction was through paypal, so the greenies are there, but she just has to figure out how to get the greenies out. Hmmm, is that where a paypal debit card comes in handy?

Hana - you look fabulous! How do you stay so white and fluffy? I'm kind of grey and crinkled. Mom says my guard hairs look like they were in a crimper.

Love it! Isn't it great when our humans think they trained us, when really, we train them!

Tell your Mom to skip the Paypal debit card! She can transfer funds straight to her bank!

You definitely have her trained very well and you are an awesome mind reader! When we try and do that our Mom and Papa ignore us and wait till we do it after they say it...silly parents!

My sister and I do the tricks before Mom and Dad tell us what to do. Sasha's favorite is roll over. By the time someone tells her to roll over, she's dizzy from all the rolling over she's already done! She's so small that she can roll over really fast, too. I'm bigger so I only get 1 or 2 rolls in before they tell me to roll over.
You are very cute playing dead. Mom and Dad have tried to teach me that, but as soon as I hit the floor I roll. Sasha sort of does it, but she'd rather roll, too.

Hana, you are so smart and do a terrific "play dead" thingie! I can't get the link to your your mom's etsy site to open- it says no such user or something like that.

Hey Hana, you're such a clever doggie to perform the task before the command. ;)

Hana, I am so impressed. I need to get my mom to learn how to put a video on her blog and show you my tricks. I can roll over so fast it makes your head spin.

My Mom says if you think training one dog is a challenge you ought to try it with 4 at once. We all get kind of crazy! Sometimes she can get 2 of us to spin right at once on command, and sometimes 3 of us will sit at once. It's a regular circus with us Bedlingtons!

Hana, you're super duper cute! And what a good girl!!!

I LOVE that trick too. If my lazy Mom would get off her butt & get a memory card for the new video camera she got for Xmas, I could show you my famous BANG! trick.

Thanks for visiting our blog. We love making new friends!
