Just what did poor little “Binky” do to deserve this treatment? Deep down inside, you must really hate little “Binky”. No? Then why do you punish him like this? What did he do to deserve this treatment? Pets are smarter than you might give them credit for.

I consider myself pretty lucky with one thing in my personality. If I happen to be someplace where there are pets or small children, it’s like I have this magnet. They all come running up at me like I had my pockets full of some magical candy. Don’t get me wrong, I love it. I just don’t know how they sense that immediately. I pose no threat and I love their willingness to immediately accept you as a friend.

And I never talk down to them. No cutesy baby talk. I give them credit for how intelligent they already have become. Afterall, they have decided that I should be their friend. They read me like a book in about 3 milliseconds.

So I want you to put yourself in this position. Let’s put an elephantine hat on you, the size of a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood, and an over sized set of diapers and parade you down at the local shopping mall. How would that make you feel? If “Binky” could talk, he would tell you. He’s tried but you won’t listen. You keep putting that stupid hat back on despite all his efforts to tell you that he doesn’t like it.

Who really needs the obedience training in this scenario?

Show “Binky” how much you really care. The next time you are tempted to waste a whole bunch of money on that stupid hat, go on over to your local pet supply store and buy “Binky” the most expensive grooming brush you can find and don’t stop until you have reached at least a thousand.

Then maybe, you will have shown “Binky” how much you love him. One of the sad truths about owning a cherished pet is that they aren’t with us all that long. So show them that you care, otherwise we will have to report you to the SPCA.
