This week’s rule comes from my good pal Daisy….
Daisy is like a lot of you, she’s really good at Mischief – last week she decided to come clean about her faking!! Ok, more like her Mum busted her 
As she suggested, I thought we needed to have it in my Mischief Masterclass – tab dah
Introducing Rule No. 8 (especially for Daisy) – THE FAKER !!
Now, this rule is all about TIMING – if you get it perfect, you’ll get away with it – Unfortunately, Daisy had a few issues with the timing – so she got busted!! Doh!!
Just like Daisy, I've been known to fake it!! When I think Mum's gonna try to get a knot out of my coat- yep, I've squealed too soon too!!
Oh, but it doesn’t end there…..
Sometimes I'll tap to go out - just to see if they're paying attention - I don't really want to go out, so as soon as I'm out I then tap to come back in - WARNING - this can backfire and you can get left out in the cold!! 
And finally……
I've been known to pretend to be asleep,..... Tee Hee
This is especially useful when they want to take you out in the cold late at night to go potty, just because they’re finally ready to go to bed – I think you might enjoy this little clip. See, I was even Mischievous way back then (even as a little puppy)….. Tee Hee

OH My Gosh Snoopy old buddy, that is the best fake sleep I have ever seen. My Vickie and I are still lauging at the video. You have it down pat, except for the timing…..Just a few seconds earlier and they might have been convinced.
I got in trouble for food stealing today so that is my Mischeif Monday. Not good enough for a full post, but it did make my Vickie more commited in training me to “Wait”..
Dang it all, If I just had waited a few seconds more she wouldn’t have seen it, then I wouldn’t be in trouble.

Hey Bert,
You got into trouble for stealing food? Doesn’t your Vickie remember that you need a story for Monday Mischief?! Huh? Where’s the fun in waiting, you’re gonna get in anyway, right?! Tee Hee – See what I mean about how important timing is?
Glad my video made you laugh – I was laughing too while I was pretending to be asleep!!
Have fun Dude and keep up the great work (of course I’m talking about Mischief!
),
Snoops
Very clever, Snoopy! Tehe
. Mami de Gund will jump onto my lap just as I want to get up; of course, I then need to nap another 1/2 hour for her 
. You’re one mischievous fellow!
Hi Roberta,
An extra half an hours nap is always good, right?! Tee Hee
Sweet Dreams,
Snoops
Oh Snoopy, you had us hysterical laughing over here! What a great video! Also, I like the way you use your coat as a way to hide your collar when they want to take you out after you’ve gotten all cozy for the night – good move! I’m almost always ready to go out, even if it means waking up from a peaceful sleep….except when it’s really hot out, then I’m not at all interested in going out and actually prefer to hold it until the sun goes down. It makes my mom worry – she’s always checking to make sure I didn’t have any accidents, but hey, I’m all grown up now!
Thanks for all the mentions!
Daisy recently posted..Major Blogspot/Blogger Problem! Anyone Else?
Hey Daisy,
So happy I could make you laugh buddy!! – Yep, I was hoping Mum wouldn’t actually be able to get my lead on cos I was so cozy – I sure wasn’t gonna help her!! Tee Hee
Yeah my Mum and Dad are more relaxed now about potty stuff cos I can hold on forever too!! But, yep, I still have to go out before bedtime – oh well….
Hope you’re having a fun weekend,
Snoops
Always have the best plan don’t ya Snoop? You are the king of mischief, I’m pretty sure.

Hi there Tanner & Beth,
I know can you believe they dragged me? I thought for sure they’d believe I was asleep!! Doh!!
Wags,
Snoops
Ha-Ha! Snoopy you and Leroy would make a great pair! He loves to act like he is sleeping when it’s time to go out for the last time at night!!
Hi Jen,
But maybe he really IS sleeping!! Tee Hee
Sweet Dreams Leroy buddy,
Snoops
we love your cleverness, BOL
Benny & Lily
Thanks Benny & Lily,
This Mischief Making sure does take a lot of effort!! But it’s so worth it
Have a fun day buddies,
Snoops
That is a good one but Chester and Gretel aren’t really fakers…unless you could them trying to convince me that they are starving all of the time
Jessica @ YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner recently posted..Guest Adventureweiner Spartacus
Hi Jessica,
Pretending to be starving all the time is a great fake!! Does it work? Tee Hee
Wags to those poor hungry little pups
Snoops
Woof! Woof! Golden LAUGHS! Happy Monday Mischief … joining your HOP today. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Hey Sugar,
Glad to see you on the hop buddy and glad to see I can make you laugh!!
Have fun,
Snoops
Very cute! What a little stinker.

Tee Hee Jen,
Glad you enjoyed my Mischief
Big wags,
Snoops
Oh Snoopy, you are the best. We do faking too, but I just loved the clip of you refusing to move. Our problem with faking is that our Mistress gets her own back. She shakes the biscuit box to get us to come in and then sometimes doesn’t give us a biscuit. She gives us a biscuit often enough that we always hope, but sometimes she thinks we’ve already had enough biscuits so just fools us.
Your dear friend, Alfie
Alfie Dog recently posted..Monday 30th January 2012 – Mudday Mischief
Hey Alfie Dog,
You mean your Mum FAKES it with the biscuit box?! That’s so sneaky!!
My Mum has a new night time tactic too, now I get a treat (Yep, a Dentastix – woohoo) when they say goodnight, so I’m way more keen to get potty over with than I used to be, cos I’m so excited to get my treat!
Btw, how can you ever have ‘enough’ biscuits, huh?!
Wags,
Snoops
I’ve tried sleeping so hard they can’t wake me – but then they just LIFT me instead?! Do you have any advice? *Waggy tail*
Alfie | Alfie’s Blog recently posted..Monday Mischief – The Dreaded Cone of Shame
Hey Alfie,
Lifting is cheating!! They can even lift you if you do the lead weight thing?! That would be my tactic!!
Tee Hee
Good luck buddy,
Snoops
BOL!! That video is priceless!!! That is the best fake sleep that I have ever seen! I must practice that!

Higgins recently posted..Monday Mischief
Hi Higgins,
I’m glad you like my fake sleep buddy – you know what they say – practice makes pawfect!! Tee Hee
Have fun,
Snoops
Snoopy you are the master faker!! I didn’t know if you were sleeping there or playing dead! LOL!
Bassetmomma recently posted..Monday Mischief
Hi Bassetmomma,
Either way it didn’t work too well as I couldn’t trick them and they MADE me go out in the cold!! Doh!!
Wags to all,
Snoops
Haha Snoopy you are so clever. Thunder learned that trick and now Freighter is practicing that one too. I am not going to let him see this post for more pointers, okay?
2browndawgs recently posted..Monday Mischief–The Black Bone
Hey Browndawgs,
I knew Freighter was gonna be a good Mischief Maker!! Oh, go on, show him my posts, he’ll get up to speed in no time!! Tee Hee

Oh Snoopy, you bad bad little puppy. No wonder your mom and dad loves you sooo much, you have this personality… the mischievous type.
Lazy little cute little… rassum frassum ( have you heard the “Magnificent Muttley” from Cartoon Network?)
You remind me of him. Here’s a video I picked up from Youtube. Check it out if you have time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipaCWy5nlRg&feature=related

Vanilla Bean recently posted..Monday Mischief: pups’ play

Yep, beware of the humans, they’re pretty good at busting pups – we have to outsmart them!! Tee Hee
Have fun,

Snoopy my Mom and I are completely in love with this!! My Mom said that video was the funniest thing she has ever seen! BOL!!
You sure were a good faker (actor!!) even back then!
You are the BEST my friend!!

Hi Dakota,
Woohoo!!! So happy you enjoyed this video – I aim to please!! Tee Hee
Oh yes, I’ve been practising my Mischief right from the get go!! No slacking for me…..
Big wags for all buddy,
Snoops
Hey Snoopy,
Mum really had a good laugh at your video! But she wishes she hadn’t shown me, cos now I know what I am going to do next time she tries to put me in the car!
High five!
Dexter
Hey Dexter,
Glad to see you’re taking it all on board buddy!!
I find most times the car is a good thing – just not when trips to the vets for shots are involved – ouch!!
Have fun,
Snoops
Hi Y’all,
Hey, they don’t even have to get as far as the leash and I’m so excited I’m jumping and barking! There are times at night when my Human wants to take me for a “last pee run” and I just go in my house (crate) and lay down. (Don’t you think “house” sounds so much nicer than “crate”?)
Y’all come back now,

Hey Hawk,
House definitely sounds better buddy!! My ‘house’ is in the garage now cos I didn’t like it – Tee Hee
I love going out during the day, especially in the mornings when it’s time to go for a run – but when I’m dreamin’ – nah, not so much!!
Wags,
Snoops
Mischief..my middle name!!
Sounds like a fun bloggy hop, we grabbed your button and will join you next week!

Chloe and Cecil too!
Yay Winston
Glad to see you’re gonna join in buddy – can’t wait to see what you’re gonna get up to

You are a pretty good faker Snoopy, even when you were a puppy! I loved the video, it gave me a good chuckle!

Hi Barb,
I do my best – it just seems to come naturally – Tee Hee
Glad I could make you chuckle,

That was such a great video Snoopy!!!!! You are too funny
Our pups like to pretend they need to go outside too– just so they can run and play!
Have a wonderful week!

Hi Guys,
Isn’t it fun to do Mischief?! Tee Hee
Yep, it’s always hard for the humans to tell if you REALLY need to go out, so they let you out just in case!!
Big wags,
Snoops
Oh my goshies, Snoopy!! You are simply adorableeee! I’ve done the same thing lots of times — sometimes it actually works!
Woofs & hugs, <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Hey Bailey,
It actually worked for you?! I’m so impressed!! Did you see how hard I tried?! And I STILL had to go out – doh!!
Big wags,
Snoops
That’s going to have me laughing for the rest of the day. :bol: You are such a faker! (Of course, if you want the polite spin on that, just call yourself an actor and they’ll be giving you awards in no time!)
You’re still a regular little cutie but oh my word were you a cute little pup!
Leslie recently posted..Thunderstorms: 2, Bella: 0
Hey Leslie,
I like your thinking!! Yay – I’m an actor Dog!! Tee Hee
Glad I could make you laugh
Have a fun day,
Snoops
Snoopy, you are the smartest. I’ve never thought of pretending to be asleep. Of course I love to go out, but sometimes I don’t want to come back in. Maybe I could pretend I’m asleep outside.

Hey Bongo,
That’s a great idea buddy – it’s certainly worth a try – let me know how you get on!! Tee Hee
