Cookie Monsters

I think i've created a couple of cookie monsters.

Many years ago, while housebreaking Momo, we would treat her to a cookie when she asked for the door to go potty outside or when she was being a good dog. She's a smart dog so she would ask for the door, go outside run around the yard once, come back in and sit by her cookie jar waiting for her treat. Now Momo sits by her cookie jar at any given time during the day waiting for her treat, so much i've had to put the darn jar in the pantry away from view.

Momo has been feeling a little left out since Chickpea joined our family so i've been letting Chickpea give her treats among other things. I thought it was harmless and cute but now, Chickpea runs into the kitchen saying 'cookie, cookie, cookie'with Momo hot on her trail and grabs the pantry door handle. I open the door, Chickpea gives me the jar's lid, reaches int, takes out a cookie, gives it to Momo and puts the lid back on. After she reaches over and grabs the animal cracker bag and gives it to me while saying 'cookie, cookie'... It's a process that could go on and on and on but i've put the brakes on it and they each get a cookie at snack time only.

J'ai cree des monstres a biscuits.

Il y a plusiers annees, lorsqu'on domptait Momo, on lui donnait des biscuits pour la recompenser quand elle demandait la porte or bien quand elle etait gentile. C'est une chienne intelligente donc elle demandait la porte et courait quelques tours dans la cour, revenait et attendait sa recompense devant son pot a biscuits. Maintenant Momo s'assis devant son pot n'importe quand et attend son biscuit, tellement que j'ai ete oublige de le metre dans l'armoire hors de vue.

Momo se sens un peu delaisse depuis que Chickpea a joint notre famille donc je laisse Chickpea donner les biscuits a Momo. Je pensais que c'est mignon mais la, Chickpea rentre dans la cuisine en courant et disant 'cookie, cookie, cookie' avec Momo colle aux fesses. Chickpea prends la poignee de l'armoire, je lui ouvre la porte, elle me donne le couvercle du pot, elle prends un biscuit, le donne a Momo et elle remets le couvercle. Apres Chickpea se tasse et prends son sac a biscuit qu'elle me donne en distant 'cookie, cookie'... C'est une proces qui peut etre repeter a plusieurs reprises durant la journne mais j'ai mis les friens et maintenant ils ont leur 'cookie' lors de la collation seulement.
