My puppy is the smartest animal in the entire world!

So, the other day I was makin' peanut butter blossoms for my wonderful neighbors (delish) http://www.hersheys.com/recipes/recipes/detail.asp?id=5191, when this pathetic but awfully cute creature gave me a look that I couldn't resist.  While I'm cooking, HIS typical routine not only includes a sad stare, but a walk around the kitchen island a million times with his nose scanning the edge of the counter.  He's into scents,...big time!  Just like me I guess. I'm all about things that smell wonderful!

Well, I had to give him a cookie,...but only if he earned it!  Isn't this the greatest trick?  He's the smartest puppy ever!  He'll wait until you give him the command, "okay, Charlie." before he gobbles it up.  He just sits there patiently with a treat (of any kind...he's not picky) on the bridge of his nose until we release him to enjoy.  No worries, we didn't give him the chocolate kiss (it's bad for animals), just the cookie part...and, we did give him a big smooch on that big nose for how smart he is!  Good Boy, Charlie!




...Everybody say,...."Awwwww!"
