I think sometimes humans are confusing, it’s hard to know what they really want?
Therefore, it’s important that we animals set a good example – let’s make sure there’s no confusion!!
Introducing Mischief Master Class Rule No. 20 – Ask For What You Want!
(Yes, we really are on Rule No. 20, there’s a lot to being good at Mischief you know!! Tee Hee)
I’m even showing you a Case Study today:
Hey Mum, look over here!! Look What I’ve Got!!
When Dad uses the Grill we have a deal - I don’t bug him (even though it all smells wonderful) and he ALWAYS gives me a Hot Dog after everyone has had their Dinner!! Good deal, right?!
This particular day I was in the mood for a Hot Dog, and there was no sign of the grill going on, so I wanted to make sure I was very clear about what I wanted!! Tee Hee
You want me to give the Tongs back? Sure, just come and get them!! Tee Hee
Check out this little video of me playing chase with Mum around the garden – Gotta make sure she understands what I’m after, right?!
Mum thinks this picture of my feet in the air as I’m prancing around with the Tongs is super cute!
Mum, I’m not trying to look cute, I’m being assertive!! Doh!!
I wonder what Mischief everyone else has been up to this week? Tee Hee

Hi Charlie Rascal,
I sure deserved it, right?! Tee Hee – I didn’t think about the fact he now had no tongs – cos I kinda put a few teeth marks on them!! I said they’d be fine, but he wasn’t having any of it – doh!!

Htodogs for everybody!

Hey Snoopy, Jet here.
I support your proactive stance (VBP)… I agree, you were clear and assertive… do you prefer beef or turkey hot dogs? We only have turkey ones here, as those are Rachel’s favorites!

Hi Jet,
To be honest buddy, I’ll take whatever I can get – glad to hear you get some too!! Woohoo!!

I agree with you Snoopy… humans are such complicated creatures; they have no clue as to what food makes them happy. Oftentimes, I have to remind them that beef or pork bbq is better than grilled chicken hot dogs. x0x0x Vanilla Bean
p.s. the last photo is soo cute heheh
Vanilla Bean recently posted..Monday Mischief: right party, wrong dress
Hi Vanilla Bean,
If I tried to understand them I’d drive myself nuts!!
So I decided to just make sure they understand me – Tee Hee
Hope you’re having a fun day

If you didn’t get a hot dog after that then you’re people are the ones who are full of mischief.

Brilliant Snoops – No doubts as to what you were after – you may not be able to say what you want but you sure know that your actions speak far louder than words
Did your mom and dad give in to your hotdog needs?
High five xx
Hi Helen,
Yep, I like to be clear, especially when it comes to Hot Dogs – Yum Yum!!
Mum never gives me any (cos she’s a vegetarian), but Dad keeps me supplied

I’ve been camping out on the lawn, but alas, as yet nothing – sigh!!
Big wags to all of you,
Snoops
That’s funny Snoopy! I LOVE stealing my humans things and running round the garden with them. She keeps tricking me though! I’ve just learnt to ‘bring it’ and she runs off shouting ‘bring it’, making me think I’m going for a walk and then just as I run past to get in front of her she grabs it and I have to practise ‘drop’. Good skills there, I hadn’t thought about the cooking things! *sniffing around for something to chew*
Bella recently posted..My ball!
Hi Bella,
Did you find something to chew yet?
Don’t worry about all the command stuff, I fell for that too when I was a young pup, you’ll wise up and life will get lots easier, plus you need to work on your dodging skills, My Mum chases me around, but I can always outsmart her, backup and run fast her too fast so she can’t catch me – I think it’s SO much fun, I’m sure you’ll love it!! Just remember to steal something first or they never seem to want to play chase!!
Have fun little Bella,
Snoops
Hey Snoopy!
You are in a mischievous mood. I don’t think Dad is going to be too happy with you playing with his tongs like that. I hope you still got your hot dog.
Take care,
Colby
Colby recently posted..What’s The Worst Thing You’re Dog Chewed Up?
Hey Colby,
I didn’t think it through too well, cos you’re right, Dad didn’t appreciate the Snoopy designer imprints I left on them – Oooops!! Tee Hee
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Snoops
That is some excellent mischief Snoopy. Especially the chasing part. Freighter seems to have taken your lesson already.

Abby Dabby Doo recently posted..AWW Mondays: Noooo! and Monday Mischief: Sneaky Abby
I think you can be cute even while you’re being assertive, Snoopy! And you did a great job too – you gave Mom that ol’ double-punch: cuteness AND assertiveness all at once – how can she resist? Good work, mischief buddy!
Daisy recently posted..Mommy’s Monday Mischief: Oh No She Didn’t!
Thanks Daisy,
It’s taken quite a bit of practice and sometimes I wish Mum would take me a little more seriously and stop with all the ‘cute’ stuff!! I’m being a Mischief Maker who wants Hot Dogs Mum!! Tee Hee
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Snoops
Ha ha that’s awesome. That’s the way to tell them what you want.
Roxy recently posted..“No” Monday Mischief

Snoopy that is FABULOUS mischief!! OMD i need to live by you! Wouldn’t we be a pair? you could run with your tongs and I could rip up napkins! I bet our pawrents would get the idea then, wouldn’t they?

Hey Sammy,
Come on buddy, do you think they could resist? Ok, so we had a slight problem with a lack of useable Tongs after my Mischief, but I’m happy to report a Hot Dog was served – Tee Hee

Snoopy, you are so cute! You should just be given a hot dog just because you’re so cute! You shouldn’t have to work so hard at it!
Jackie Bouchard recently posted..Monday Mischief: Quiet Mischief??
Hi Jackie,
I think you need to speak to my Mum!! I have a feeling I’d be getting a lot more Hot Dogs if you were around here – Tee Hee – Does Rita get Hot Dogs, cos she’s super cute
Hope you’re having a fun day

I know how you feel Snoops. Peoples are so dense sometimes….that was a great way of telling them what you wanted. I hope you got TWO hotdogs for your efforts.

I’m too young to remember the Spice Girls, but Mum is easily old enough – Tee Hee – now she’s got that song in her head too!!

Snoopy you certainly know how to communicate with your humans. Us cats are a little more subtle and let me tell you…it doesn’t always work very well!

Hi Y’all!
Just hoppin’ by to say “hi”.
Somehow, the chase never happens in our house. Not sure why. My Human says “bring” and I always do. Guess ’cause I know that I always get a really super reward. Think I’ll have to go re-think this entire thing!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Hawk aka BrownDog recently posted..Your Mountain Weather Report
Hey Hawk,
You see in my house I don’t get the reward if I bring anything back, I just get a replacement toy that was lying around anyway! I’ve got an idea for you, how about you steal/borrow more stuff then you’ll get more super rewards?! Tee Hee
Have fun,
Snoops
Right. Communication is the key to getting what you want

Oh yes I sure did – I love it when Mum chases me around the garden, she’s nowhere near as fast and agile as me so it’s hard for her to catch me – I can even go in reverse you know?! Tee Hee

Love the video! Looks like you are having fun! So……..did you get a hotdog???????

Hello dear Snoopy!
You are so clever. My dog is a female and she’s very smart but she does not get into any mischief. She’s quite lady like. I’d introduce you but she’s not fond of big dogs only ones her height and stature. One day I’ll send you a photo of Ma Cherie.

I’d love to play with her too, I’m very good with little Doggies too, I usually adjust my play style to accommodate them and Mum thinks I’m super cute when I put my paw out to the little Dogs to see if they want to play
