She has it all figured out.
When I let the Worthless Ones out in the early morning, she is the first one back in. She then sits by the counter where the jar with the doggie biscuits is and stares, willing it to open and give her a biscuit.
I started a long time ago rewarding the mutts for coming back by giving them a biscuit, and now this one has it down pat. She comes in first and gets her reward and then, whenever another one appears she will be there, right next to the newcomer, expecting--and getting--a biscuit.
On good days for her, when her fellow mutts come home in drips and draps, she can get four more biscuits out of it.
Lately I have taken to breaking her biscuits in half; she doesn't seem to mind. It is the one and only thing she has figured out, so I hate to disappoint her.
She is getting a little heavy though.
