Here is our Wesley... Wesley is a hoot!!!

He loooovvvvves to sleep. George calls him a Electrolux with legs. He and Mathies are not all that fond of one another, but they manage. It wasn't easy getting to this point, and Mathie still rules the roost (as any good female would).

And when Wesley decides that he likes you... well, that is it. You may not like that, but too bad.

When he met my Dad for the first time, he immediately fell in love. I remember, my Dad sat down in the kitchen and bent over to untie his shoes, and Wesley jumped up and kissed him.

We have a routine, Wesley and I. Mathie joins in, because Mathie will be left out of nothing I do.

We do inspection time, every afternoon, or everytime I come home. We have the inspection area, the carpet in front of the entertainment unit, the rug under the dining room table, and the hallway upstairs. If he has any "accidents", he doesn't get a good boy yummy. Mathie doesn't either, so she has a vested interest in making sure Wesley doesn't have any accidents. If he is a good boy, and doesn't have any accidents, then we dance and yell and cheer, and they both get a biscuit.

And you know what... It works... Positive Reinforcement.....!!! A very powerful tool.
