Charisma + Confidence = Tini

Flirtini's trainer said it's easy to have a universal admiration for a dog like "Tini".  She has that magnetic combination of charisma and confidence that is typical of a champion.  So much so that he would not be surprised to see her picture on a box of Wheaties one day inspiring people everywhere to always give each challenge they face 110% as they fill their bellies before beginning their day.  What more can he say about this sweet girl, but that she's Greeeaaat!

Tini knows all of her basic commands well, except needs improvement on "jump".  There's plenty of time to get that one perfected too.  She also knows a few extras:  "leave it", "give", "bullseye" and "show me love".

Tini had a breakthrough this week when it comes to toys.  Apparently green lobsters are not fun, but green alligators are.  Silly people.  Everyone knows that.  Now that she is playing with toys, she is learning to "give" them up when asked.  At this point, her trainer has to swap it out with something tasty in order for her to "give" it up, but she is getting the hang of it quickly.  She never makes a sound when he goes to grab it, just an evil eye of annoyance for placing boundaries on her fun.  Her trainer feels like she secretly refers to him as the "fun police".  But never fear, one day the student will become the teacher he's sure.  In fact, he thinks we could all learn a lesson from Miss Tini.  That lesson is:  No matter what life throws your way, as long as you have someone rub your belly and feed you a couple of tasty marshmallows, it will all be "ok".  Once you boil all that down, isn't that what we all really want?
