Whack-A-Pup

It's probably my favorite game. One I have played with each and every pup my human has brought in to our home to watch or train.

It all started back when I was rather young and in the obedience classes at petsmart. Many of the dogs in class with me were smaller than I was and they were constantly in my face or chewing on my tail. This was totally annoying and something I refused to allow. So I started lifting my paw and with one quick and accurate swing I'd send the little pups tumbling away. It was great fun.

The tradition continues in to the here and now. I have evolved my technique a bit over the years. For starters I don't always use my paw anymore. Sometimes I simply use my rock hard skull. Other times I use tools like all you silly primates out there. That's right, even I can use tools and I'll use whatever is handy.

My favorite tools are the pups own toys. You see the pup thinks I'm gonna play with him/her. Then in a flash I snatch the toy from the pups grip and whack it across the head with the toy! This really confuses the pup and often the younger dog will stop and ponder the situation for a few moments which, in turn, gives me ample time to whack the pup again and again and again! Muhahahahaha Oh what glorious fun it is!
