Hi Auntie Daisha,

Charky and Ash here,

> Most people on this list will respond to by saying you don't train
> the bun, the bun trains you. And sorry to say that is the truth!

You are a very smart lady!

> My little boy, Chip, [snip]
> Anyway, its my belief that he knows alot of what I say to him but choses
> what he will listen to and not. I will call him and he'll come if he feels

[Go Chip go!!!!!!! You have Tough Bun potential. Your Mom might be smart but you are smarter. HAR-HAR.]

> like it. I tell him not to but he does. But seems to know how far to push
> me. I think just a slight change in the tone in my voice he can pick up
> on.

[Chip, when I chew the baby gate Mom says "No" and I continue because she is far away. Then after a while she comes and says "NO, Charky, NO" and I look at her with sweet bunny eyes, put my nose down, she melts and then she pets me. HAR-HAR. I have her very well trained. These humans are soooo dumb.]

> Like last night... He enjoys being pet. I sit on the couch at night and
> watch TV and he jumps up with me and demands to be pet. (Nudges
> my hand, licks it and nips at my clothes). Sorry to say but after
> petting for a long time I need a break, he wants me to continue.
> So when I refuse my hand, he goes to the other end of the couch
> and leaves my some poops (sweet).

[HAR-HAR. Well done, Chip!] Auntie Daisha, you are very lucky that Chip is so bonded to you and trusts you. You should respond to all his needs and that will make *you* very happy, you'll see.

Your nephews,

Charky and Ash
Jr. Tough Buns
