Benson's Latest Tactics

It is another painfully beautiful day at Bumpus Ridge; and Benson is trying a series of new tactics to get me to take him outside:

Tactic #1: Finding the only sunny spot upstairs; then laying in said sunny spot despite the obvious discomfort (his back/face were shoved up against the wall).

Tactic #2: Being very cute and photogenic in said sunny spot.  Unlike Daisy (our old boxer-rotweiler) Benson loves the camera and poses effortlessly.  Dogs are strange.

Tactic #3: The Old Lady Lip (dog pouting)

Tactic #4: The Stare-Down

 Tactic #5: The Block

• 10 x Reading Report Cards
• 10 x Stewardship/Citizenship Report Cards
• 23 x Writing
