We had a Golden Retriever named Molly. One day as I was going through the mail, I gave her a piece of junk mail and said, "Molly, throw this in the garbage." Sure as shootin', she walked over to the garbage can and dropped it in. We made such a fuss over it, I think we scared her and we could never get her to do it again.
It makes you think about all the things we say...so glad our dogs cannot talk! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
