Lily has learnt a new trick - and even if I say so myself is quite clever.

She was an absolute nightmare whenever I was pegging my washing out. She would get a peg and sit and chew. And as soon as I got another one she would repeat the cycle - nick my pegs. At the end of my pegging out session my pegs would be strewn, half eaten all over the lawn.

Anyhow I decided to see if I could turn it in to a helping game. Well little Lily loves her grub. So the next time she nicked a peg - I showed her a treat and said PEG. She let me take the peg in return for the treat.

We repeated this exercise and she has cottoned on. So now my 9 and a half week pup helps with my washing. I say PEG and she gets one out of the box and gives it to me. How cool is that??
