We have another visitor this week. (Who knew Gail was so popular?)
This one is called Helen and I have been teaching her the rules for playing 'early morning fetch' in our back garden.
1. This game is best played before breakfast and it is allowed for the human to be wearing their pyjamas.
2. Prior to engaging in the game, the human must of course have grabbed a handful of tasty treats as well as a suitably fetchable toy.
3. The human throws the toy across the garden while saying 'fetch'.
4. I chase after the toy, maybe pick it up, put it down again and then run back to the human demanding my treat.
5. It is to be hoped that the visitor does not insist in playing the game according to Gail's rules, which require that I actually carry the toy back to human before being given the treat. That version of the game is boring. The human should do their share of the fetching.
Helen is staying with us for a week, and I am hoping to teach her some more games before we are through.
