I've been busy watching for crumbs on the floor, but nothing can compare to the hamburger I was able to swipe from a dish sitting by the grill. Remember, you must move fast, but don't get burned.

More lessons:
1. Don’t pee on the flowers. I can’t explain why, but humans get very annoyed when their flowers die. Even with all the options—posts, poles, trees, bushes— there is something appealing about peeing on flowers. It’s appealing until you get in trouble when the flowers die.

2. Learn the house rules. It may be confusing, but each house may have different rules. For example, I can sleep on the bed with Auntie, but I must sleep in my crate at home.




3. Tolerate the cats. You don’t have to play with them. You don’t have to like them, but you do have to put up with them.
