Sparky called me a liar.

When we went out for our dusk walk, I brought some treats so we could practice.  Sparky has been getting lax on coming when called, so I would reward him when he does return.

Sparky ran off to check the perimeter as he usually does.  After he had his fun, I called him, and he came in.  I gave him a treat, and we sat on the bench to chat.  Sparky smelled the other treats in my pocket, but was cool about it.

I figured that Sparky would eventually wander off, so I could call him in and give him another treat.  Sparky figured that I had more treats, so he didn’t want to risk it.

It was time to go in, so I stood up and Sparky jumped down, then he gave me that WTF face.  Sparky called me a liar for not giving him the other treat.

I explained that isn’t want lying means, but he wouldn’t listen since I was a lying liar, and was probably never going to ever feed him.

Just before we got to the deck, Sparky saw a rabbit, and took off.  By now it was dark, and Sparky wasn’t wearing his flashing leash.  Sparky stopped when I told him to, then came back when called.  I rewarded him with the rest of the treats.

Sparky and I are friends again.
