Just had to share it

Well, I made a deal with the kid ...get straight A's all year in the tough new school and you get a puppy of your choice... Kid came through. Bribery is an effective parenting technique. Puppy Love

 

[globetrotter]

very nice, and she looks happy with the deal.


(you might want to keep the new vass shoes away from the puppy, though....)

 

[topcatny]

Awww......very cute.

I'll remember the bribery technique in the years to come.

The vass shoes are on the top shelf of the closet

 

[petescolari]

Poochy.

When I was like 10, to get a Sega, I had to get straight As, my purple belt in Karate, and have the Bach A minor concerto learned and memorized, all before April (deal was made in September). Well, I don't think I ever used it by the time I was 12. Parents 1 me 0.

That's a pretty "disagreeable" post

 

[globetrotter]

agreeable = agressive? did we just find our troll?

Agreeable = the recently banned "arrogant", but since he's ranking on his good buddy PHV I'll let him stay a while.

sounds like a good investment on your parents side. I have been using bribary to toilet train my son, but I hadn't thought about when it will end, or not.

That dog is not very trad.

Actually, it is very cute and I'm very picky about dogs.

What's a trad dog anyway? I believe Horace can weigh in on the subject.

 

[Carlo]

Trad dog..... frankly, while I suppose I'm fairly trad it is not a 'planned' thing, it just kinda happens in summertime.

As to the pooch... she's a Cavalier king Charles ... which is way too much name for a toy version of a Cocker Spaniel really.

Thus far an excellent pooch. Unintentionally troublesome when wide awake but sleeping at my feet the rest of the time.
