As if.

Flattery may get him nowhere.

Good Luck at that :-)

My six month old pup has sitting down pat…it’s the staying she has trouble with.

I imagine this could be doable. Perhaps you could give the pooch a nice swing or two. Maybe even together.

“Did I hear sit? I guess I’ll keep sitting until I hear ‘good dog’ “

What you need to do now is to move your legs and swing yourself, lazy human.

I grew up on the East Coast, but moved out west as soon as I could leave home. The west has beautiful mountains covered in forests of pine and fir and ponderosa trees, but one (of the few) thing I miss about the east is the magnificent trees, the oaks and elms and maples. Bliss always takes such care to make his scenery look authentic.

He never learned how to pump the swing?

I grew up on Long Island, where there was a large elm in the back of our yard and an apple tree nearer the house. My dad made me a swing on the big tree and I loved hanging out on it and swinging- so relaxing. I used to push the wooden picnic table and one of the benches next to the apple tree. I would climb onto the bench, then the table and onto a branch of the apple tree. I would sit there and listen to my transistor radio waiting to hear “All My Lovin’” by the Beatles! (circa 1966)

Love the artwork!

Sounds like an entitled kid wanting the impossible!!!
