Hey Guys! Pip here. If you don’t know who I am or happen to not remember much about me, you can see this post where mommy introduced me, or my “Day in the Life” guest post, or when I recapped our memorial day weekend, or when I wrote on my first gotcha day.

Anyway, today is my 2nd Gotcha Day! That means Mommy and Daddy took me home from the shelter 2 years ago today! Since it’s my Gotcha Day, Mommy is letting me take over her blog again. Aren’t you excited?

So I thought I’d take this opportunity to teach all you other doggies out there how to manipulate your people and train them to do what you want them to. And it’s okay if Mommy reads this because she knows I have her trained and even if she wanted to break free, she couldn’t. She’s too far gone!

First of all, you have to be cute. It makes getting what you want so much easier. Luckily, being a dog pretty much means you’ve got this part down.

Secondly, you have to be well behaved. If you’re tearing up furniture or messing on the floor all the time, your people aren’t going to do what you want. They’re just gonna be mad at you all the time.

Third, you have to get excited over exciting things. If you love going to the park, jump up and down and run in circles every time your person mentions going to the park. Eventually, they will learn that you like it and will take you to the park more often.

And lastly, you have to look real sad and cute when they don’t do something you want them to. The cuter the better. Just pout and look up at them with those big puppy dog eyes and they’ll cave every time.

And there you have it. It’s really pretty easy! Like I said, a lot of it is just thanks to how cute you are and you don’t even have to do anything! Pretty great huh?

If you’re a doggy, or if you’re a fur mamma with a cute little doggy, introduce them in the comments! I wanna meet all you blogger doggies!
Thanks for reading!
