Who's Training Who Here

I recently noticed that when I sit down on the couch to put on my shoes in the morning, Gimme brings me a tug toy and tries to entice me to play with it. I thought to myself, "Isn't that cute, she wants to start our day with a little playtime." Then I started noticing that every time I sit down on the couch, she brings me a toy.

She bounces around in front of me, flipping and throwing the toy. She tosses it, shakes it back and forth, and kills it with great theatrical ferocity. She rolls on her back and wiggles to and fro. If I don't respond after she goes through her whole repertoire, she goes and gets another toy from her toy basket or the training box. She'll keep this up until... well, then I discovered that, almost of its own volition, my hand reaches out to take hold of the toy.

Omigod... she's trained me. Its official, Gimme really is in charge here. I see the play cue and I can't help myself!

Please don't get the idea from this first two pictures that her offerings are still and calm.

I took over 100 pictures to get 4 that weren't too blurry.

These two were the least blurry of the on-the-back-wiggling sequence.
