Fen has taught Boone to demand cookies!
It’s as if they are both channeling the Heathen. (Although he was the consummate master of snackie acquisition, always achieving his objective in silence. In fact in all our years together, he never barked unless moving livestock)

Well, I screwed up and got my terribly spoiled pony-dog one of those pupsicle dealies. He LOVES it! He is obsessed with it.
Fen covets it.
So I had to save up and get one for Fenny too.
I give them treats like that in their crates because Boone gathers them all together into his indoor dragon hoard and eats/chews/plays with them all himself.
Fen only finished about half of his, but wisely pushed it to the back of his crate and shut the door when he left to go sit by the front door ( just in case someone comes in and forgets to lock it, so he can go walkabout on his own.)
Boone finished his. Boone’s crate is enormous and a bit tricky to access as there is just a small space for him to squeeze in, in front of the wall.
He also left his in his crate, though it was empty. He, very purposefully, strolled over to Fen’s crate. I was in the electric recliner. (which takes a while for the foot rest to go down and get out of)
Boone very handily, walked over, opened Fen’s door, stretched his neck out and snagged Fen’s pupsicle from the back of his crate as I sputtered and protested while trying to get out of the chair and grab him. Just before I was able, he loped across the room with the prize in his mouth, ended into his crate with his treasure at the very back…knowing full well I couldn’t reach!
Smart dogs are the bane of my existence 😳

I. Am. SO PROUD of Boone!!! I dropped my med bag on the kitchen table. I have recently been working with Boone, teaching him to look for it, in the living room, in varying places on top of Fen’s big coffee table crate, among other things.
He came in the bedroom for a cookie. I gave him one, but he knew I still had one. I told him to look for my meds, just to see what he would do. He was sitting already. He looked at me, looked at the bed, top to bottom and back. Then he turned his head to look towards the kitchen.
I thought he had already forgotten/lost interest, then he quickly stood up and left, coming back moments later with my med bag, after having spotted it on the kitchen table AMONG THE GROCERIES!
This is HUGE! He not only grasped the idea it might not be in the same room we were, but also not in the same room it usually is, and was also able to identify it among different various items, and he did it all sitting in one place, scanning with his eyes!👀
One smart puppy!
