how to be a good hound

by Reuben

1.) lay quietly and chew on your bone a lot. This wins you points especially when everyone else is running around doing stuff.

2.) be nice to your brother(s) and/or sister(s). They will let you follow them around and do fun stuff like pretend someone is at the door.

3.) this is a hard one. Don't zipper your brother on the neck all the time to get him to play. I'm still working on this one.

4.) give your human full attention when she talks to you, especially when she says, "Are you hungry?"

5.) wag your tail a lot when your human scritches you on the neck.

6.) when all else fails, use this look. It works every time.
