Amber's Guide for Dummies- The 'Shy' Trick

Heya friends!

Okay, before I continue on my post, I would like to thank you ALL so very much for all those kind & warm words you've left in my comment box. It really made me feel much much better. Oh & my mommy also says thank you for all those good luck wishes. She really appreciates it... But we still have another depressing news to tell you all but I don't want to say it today.


Okay! Now let's get on with today's post.

Now, some of you wanted to know how I learned the 'Shy' trick. Well, today my mommy took a video of me on how she taught me to cover my eyes with my paw paw.

Can you see Chloe in the background? Hehehehe... So, that's basically how s
he taught me. There are two methods. One by using a soft clip. Make sure the clip is not a big one & make sure that your hooman don't clip your skin. If your hooman does that, bite him/her! The other thing they can use is a strip of cellophane tape. It gets you irritated & you will try to get it off your forehead using your paw paw.

You have to do this several times a day but not one hundred million times one shot coz that will get you booooored! So, quite easy right? Should be easy for most of you but for you short legged dogs may have a slight problem reaching your eyes. Heeheehee!

Oh yeah, after taking video of me, mommy had nothing else to do & she needed something to cheer her up. So guess what she did to my face?


Aaggghhhh! I have clips all over my face!

She said she's been laughing & laughing till her lungs were about to pop out of her mouth... Is this funny to you??? Well, I have to say, I do look freaky. Heeheehee... Mommy said I can win the Guinness World Record for the 'Dog With Most Clips On Its Face'.

Oh & don't worry guys, it did not hurt at all coz like I said, these clips are very soft & mommy only clipped my hair not my skin. It looks like I'm in pain but I wasn't. My lip got tucked in my mouth coz mommy was holding a treat above the camera. Teeheehee! So no worries! No abuse occurred during the shooting!

Amber Girl!

I'll believe you cuz you said so, but those clips looked like a new form of doggie torture to me.

You and your mama should do instructional videos for dog tricks! You'd be a great spokespup!

Goober love,
Stanley

Hahaha! Amber-Mae, do you know that your blog is one of my most favorite dog blog to visit? This is because in every post you make, you make me smile, laugh, or feel amazed! You are a wonderfully talented dog Amber. And sweet enough to stay behaved for your human with all those clips on your face! Hihihi.

Hi Amber,
Sorry to hear about your bad weekend. (Sorry, I am behind!) I know that all of your blog friends are very proud of you for how well you do and how good you are! That's really exciting that you might start agility classes! It's much more fun to do something you like. I also wanted to say congratulations to Chloe and good luck to your mommy!
Hope this week is going better!
Love Clover xo

jaffeboy said...

Those clips look so painful on your face!

U R so clever to do the "shy shy" trick. I don't think I can do it. Please tell MaMa I can't do it. I really don't want to do it!!!

Ferndoggle said...

OUCHIE!! I would have not liked all those clips on my face! My furs are too short to clip much to.

Amber is such a patient girl.

I think Mom is going to try to teach me that Shy trick! It's very cute.

You could be handy though when your Mum wants to peg out the washing!

Randi said...

OH NO AMBER-MAE! You look like you are in pain..but if you say you aren't, I guess we have to believe you! You do look pretty funny & mom is laughing so hard right now & I'm telling her by staring at her to not get any funny ideas from this pic!

Randi

HM can't wait to try the shy trick - thanks for posting instructions :)

To give your mum something to do other than torturing you with those clothes pegs I've tagged you to play the middle name game - though you do look pretty cool with all those pegs on you!!

Jackson's J1 and J2 said...

Hey Amber, that was such a clever way to teach the trick. I wondered how it was done. Now I know to start running if J1 comes near me with a bit of sellotape or clips! J x

You are really good and tricky. Those clips might look good on me. We're working on Sit.

Ume said...

not a nice reward for performing a trick... but definitely worth a Photo of the Month nomination! kekeke...

PerfectTosca said...

Mom is cracking up over the clips on the face. If she thinks she's trying that on me she better guess again.

Luckie Girl said...

Oh Amber,
Why did your MOm do that? Pass me those pegs..I go "KIAP" her for you. hehe..

parlance said...

Hi again, Amber! Penny and I are getting the hang of this clip business. We tried your trick last night with a clothes peg and it worked, but I think the peg was TOO annoying so I'm going to buy a packet of soft pegs today.

Terra said...

Amber I have a bone to pick with you!

Why did you have to tell my HM to put pegs on me!!!! She has been trying to teach me "shy" and she thought your idea was great! Thankfully I have a lot of fluff on my head, so she definitely can't pinch my skin! And now I know how to do it, but that's not the point!

SHE PUT PEGS ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.
