So my excellent behavior at scent class
continues. OK. Maybe “excellent” is
stretching things a bit – but I have been pretty well behaved. It was cool this week – because the instructor
tried to TRICK us. And it worked for a
few minutes – and then we all figured out what he was doing.
So far, we have been searching for treats
in big plastic boxes. First the boxes
were open, then the boxes had big holes in the lid, and then little holes. But this week, he put the treats under some
OTHER objects – like small purses. He
also had tin cans in the line up too. My
human could have told him that purses shouldn’t be a big problem for me – I’m
ALWAYS trying to see if she has treats in her purse. But I must confess, the first time he put
treats under the purse, we all ignored it!
We were so used to finding treats in the boxes – we went to the boxes first. We couldn’t BELIEVE there were no treats in
there. THEN we figured out we really
needed to USE our noses and we all caught on.
Because I have a good memory, I also tend to go to the last place I
found a treat. In that case I’m not
really using my nose. Just my
brain. I have to remember to use BOTH. It makes sense that class is getting harder. Pun intended.
We have one more week in this set of
classes. I hope there is no final
exam. I get stressed for tests. Just kidding.
Nothing really stresses me.
Except when I lose the bunny’s scent on the trail…
