Rule #1: If you leave the house, I leave the house. It’s that simple. Where are WE going?
Rule #2: Your food is my food. My food is my food. I’m not sure why this is so difficult to understand.
Rule #3: Where you go, I go. Bathroom? I’m coming. Kitchen? Right behind you. Bedroom? Save me a spot!
Rule #4: Hoomans need to take math courses. Half a treat does NOT equal a whole treat! I can count, Mommy!
Rule #5: If you’re sitting in my favorite spot, you’re sitting in the wrong spot. Please move.
Rule #6: Just because I went outside two minutes ago doesn’t mean I don’t need to go outside again. Things change!
Rule #7: If I drop a toy at your feet, playtime has officially begun. Your schedule is irrelevant.
Rule #8: If something falls on the kitchen floor, it automatically becomes mine. That’s the five-second rule. Actually, make that the zero-second rule!
Rule #9: If you’re eating a snack, I must inspect it. This is strictly for quality control purposes.
Rule #10: Bedtime is when I say it is. And if Mommy wants to sleep in, that’s fine with me. I wasn’t planning on getting up early anyway!
Now, does Mommy follow all my rules?
Absolutely not!
We’re still working on her training. She’s a little stubborn, but I haven’t given up hope.
After all, every good German Shepherd knows that running a household takes patience, persistence, and plenty of treats!

P.S. Here are Rules #11 & 12 as a bonus for you!
Rule #11: If you open a bag of ANYTHING, I must immediately investigate. It could be treats, and I simply cannot take that chance! Mommy should know by now that all bags must pass the Cadie inspection! 💖🐾
Rule #12: When you’re finished eating, I get to lick the plate! (only if Mommy says the food is safe for me to have) After all, why waste perfectly good leftovers? Besides, I’m just helping Mommy with the dishes.
You’re welcome!
