Wheelie Wednesday - Not Getting It

Hi everybody! It's me, Francesca!
Mom and I were out in the garden taking a peek at our new yellow Oriental Lily that mom found for $2.

When we came back inside, mom gave me a cookie and put it on my nose like we've seen other doggies do on the blogs.  These doggies let it sit there until they get the release command and then they can eat their cookie!   I'm a trained girl, ya know! 

Mitch noticed the cookie on my nose while I was waiting for my release command and he STOLE it from me - right off my nose!  How rude!
Mom had this great idea to try and teach Maggie and Mitch this same trick!  HA! 
The cookie kept sliding off Maggie's nose and she was getting freebies!
Mom kept trying to place the cookie on Maggie's nose and telling her to wait and it just wasn't working!
And Mitch wasn't buying it either!  Put your head down, Mitch!
You doggies are way too stubborn!  Mom gives up and so do I!
 Maggie and Mitch are totally not cookie-on-the-nose trick trainable!

Does any doggie have any tips for us or are they doomed to be dummies?!
We were at befunky a couple of days ago and we noticed that they had added a new feature.   This photo was underpainted!  Isn't it so cool?!
See you all next Wednesday!
Friends forever,
Francesca

  1. There is NO WAY we'd allow a biscuit to sit on our noses! Maggie and Mitch have the right idea.

    PeeS, That looked like a scottie in your garden, 'cept for the tail.

  2. Yes that is a very cool underpainted effect!
    The cookie on the nose - must have been a human who came up with that one!
    As bassets we fail to see the point - let's just eat the cookie.

  4. We Aire-kids are just too food driven to allow someone to place a cookie BEHIND our nose! Besides that, we probably can't sit still long enough. Good luck with that though!

  5. Ha! Momma tried that one with me, too, but I just went cross eyed and refused to have anything to do with it. More of a wheelie trick in my book.

  6. I just don't understand that cookie on the nose trick and like Mango refuse to do it. Sometimes are people can be so silly.

  9. I could never learn that treat on the nose trick either. The treat would be in my mouth before it got to my nose!

  12. I haven't had much luck learning that trick either. Probably because my nose goes IN rather than OUT of my face. Mom says she's gonna try again with a really small cookie & put it in the divot between my eyes!

  14. We think it's more than enough that we have to either sit, dance, do a down, or give a paw to get a $#^**#@ treat. Cookie on nose? Fahgedaboutit!

    Wirey love,

  17. They've never tried the cookie trick on me....Puffy the Perfect could do it, even with cheese. Maybe SHE's smarter than she lets on by not even trying it with me. I'll get back to you and let you know if it works. I'm going in the kitchen now and telling her I wanna try it. I figure it's good for a handful of nummies before she catches on.

  19. Mom's golden retriever Ginger used to be able to do the cookie treat but we, being sibes, don't see the point - cookies are for eating, not balancing on the snooter, right?

    Pee Ess - that underpainted photo is cool, very interesting.

  20. Treat on the nose... no, this does not go. *lol*
    It always falls down.
    But Tread shortly before him on the knee or the ground lay, this functions up to the release.
    We have practiced long.

  26. That is cool. Mom wants to try it.

    We aren't treat on the nose dogs either. We're treat in the tummy dogs.

  32. WHY would any doggie just lets a perfectly good cookie sit on their nose without eating it? That's just crazy-wacko! I thinks Maggie and Mitch haves the trick right and your mom has it wrong.
