Training with Wolfie
By Karen Singer
Chapter 19 – Part
1 of 2
“Bobo…go! Quick!
Pick it up. Get it into the
basket. Get it Bobo. Go!”
The basket that held all of Wolf’s
dog toys was in the middle of the floor, but the toys were all scattered
everywhere around the room. And now Rosa
and Connie had him trying to grab the toys and get them all back into the
basket as fast as he could. How much
easier would this be if he still had hands.
As it was, he had only his mouth to work with now, so it took him
forever. And still they kept urging him
to do it faster. Faster!
Just picking some of those toys up
with his mouth was difficult. He didn’t
have a gigantic mouth like Wolf had. His
mouth was small. And the game was made
even more difficult because Wolf kept grabbing one toy to play with, then a
minute later, he’d pick another one, and twice now he had taken the toys out of
the basket that he had just put back in there.
And still Rosa and Connie were urging him to do it faster.
Get that toy over there. Now this one over here. Quickly!
Faster! Whew. He’d like to see them try it! He couldn’t smell any yet, but he was hoping
that later they would throw the popcorn to him again. At least then he got some kind of reward for
what he was doing – if he managed to
catch any of it in his mouth.
“Over here Bobo. Get this one next!”
Ugh! He was certainly getting more exercise than
he used to. Maybe more than at any time
in his life!

“Heel Bobo!” Rosa ordered as she
took off walking around the backyard.
Heel? It was the first time anyone had used that
word with him before. But what the
heck? Besides, what choice did he
have. She had put that darn choker
collar on him again and he had two choices, go with her, or choke to
death. Heel? No, as much as he’d like to laugh like a
human, the thought really never entered his mind.
He certainly couldn’t miss when
Rosa sped up and began doing her best to run a little. It took him a second or two, but once again
he got the hang of “running” alongside her.
It felt good, for a minute. But
he got tired pretty quickly. He knew
Wolf could jog around at that pace probably forever. But he couldn’t. And the good news? Rosa couldn’t either. Every time she tried it, she wore out faster
than he did. After less than a minute,
Rosa was back to walking around the yard again.
Bobo was much happier.
He was even happier because after
she was finished “walking” him, she had to do it with Wolfie. He got to sit there and watch as Rosa did her
best to control the big dog…who actually seemed to enjoy being walked like
that…mostly. It took Wolf a bit to get
calmed down enough to stop fighting the choker collar, but once he did, he actually
did pretty well.
And there Rosa went again. Trying to run. Wolf barely had to try to move faster at
all. Bobo watched as Rosa tired out
again, faster than she had with him. She
certainly wasn’t going to tire Wolf out by herself. No way.
Besides, some days, Wolfie could play all day.
He watched as Rosa led Wolf back
toward the porch, and then…uh-oh. He
watched as Rosa did her best to slowly prod Wolf to go up one side of the
ramp. It took a moment, but slowly, Wolf
went up to the top…and of course, like he usually did, he jumped off the
side. Bobo could have laughed at that
too, but of course, he didn’t. He
watched Rosa try it again. On the third
try, Wolf went up one side, then down the other. Mistake Wolfie! Now she’s going to…yup! Bobo watched as Rosa made him go up and down
the ramp three more times successfully.
Unfortunately, that was when Rosa
dropped Wolf’s leash. Uh-oh. He knew what was coming. He stood up as Rosa grabbed his leash and led
him toward the ramp. Ugh! Why was the darn thing so narrow? If they had just made the entire thing a foot
wider he’d have no problem with it at all.
Up one side carefully…down the other side carefully. Turn around, go up carefully, down
carefully. Turn
around…wash…rinse…repeat.
He was glad when Rosa grabbed
Wolf’s leash again. He laid down on the
grass to watch the impossible as Rosa led Wolf over to the plastic hurdle he
was supposed to jump over. He watched as
Rosa put the bar in place…a little lower than Jose usually put it. Bobo knew that Wolfie could jump that thing
without even thinking about it – if he wanted to. But jumping over things wasn’t one of
Wolfie’s favorite things to do. Jumping
on top of him and trying to mate with him, that was Wolfie’s favorite thing to
do lately. Jose would have no problem
trying to teach Wolfie that one! What
Bobo wanted though, was for Jose to teach Wolfie NOT to do that. He had a feeling though that he wasn’t going
to get his wish in the matter. Nobody
cared about a dog.

Chicken for dinner! Chicken for dinner! Yum!
Yum! Chicken! And mashed potatoes. And vegetables! Great dinner!
Great dinner! Bobo gobbled it
down like it was the greatest thing on earth.
He took bite after bite and barely chewed it at all, he was so
happy. After two days in a row of dog
food, he was finally getting something real to eat. Chicken dinner!
And then…where’d it go? Bobo looked around. He had finished it already. He had thought there was plenty of food in
his bowl, but now it was all gone. And
Wolf was still on the other side of the room.
Who ate all his dinner?

“Come here my little angel,” Rosa
said as she pulled her shorts and panties down.
“Come here my angel Bobo.”
Ugh! Work time again. Sex time again. For her, not him. At least Wolfie got to play at it. But what could he do? Nothing!
A big fat nothing! Ugh! Once again he put his tongue to work between
Rosa’s thighs. He had noticed that he
was doing more and more of that lately. He
had a feeling that all the “games” Rosa had been playing with him lately were
keeping her turned on more than usual – at his expense.
As often happened, while he was
licking, Wolf jumped up onto the couch and laid his head near Rosa’s lap. Rosa pet his head while Bobo worked down
below. Heaven! But not for him.

“What do you think Jose?” Isabelle
asked.
“I think it’s a great idea,” Jose
replied. “We should do it.”
“Super!” Isabelle exclaimed
happily. “I’ll try making up a nice
colorful poster, and I’ll create some handouts too.”
Jose nodded. “We’ll see what happens. If it works out, perhaps we can set up
something regular.”
“That was what I was thinking,”
Isabelle agreed.

The doorbell rang. Wolf started barking, but he didn’t run
toward the door. Bobo, completely
frightened, looked up from his napping spot between the chairs. Rosa was heading for the door. Wolf was already wandering in circles back
and forth near the spot where Rosa was making them stay each time someone
came. He was also growling and letting
out small barks once in a while too.
Bobo knew he would have no choice.
He stood up and headed for his spot to sit, right next to Wolf.
Rosa reached the door. “Just a minute,” she called to whoever was on
the other side. She turned back toward
Wolf. “Wolife! Stop it!
Sit!” She waited until both her
dogs were sitting quietly next to each other, then she opened the door a crack. “Um…just a moment,” she said. She turned her head back toward the
dogs. “Bobo. Bedroom!
Now!” Bobo took off at a run,
leaving Wolfe sitting where he was. Only
then did Rosa fully open the door. “How
are you,” she said as she opened the door and let one of her tenants in. “Please excuse the wait, but I’m trying very
hard to get Wolfie here under control.”
“No problem the woman replied. “I remember how he was the last few times I
stopped by.”
“What can I do for you?” Rosa
asked.
Back in the bedroom, Bobo laid down
on the far side of the bed. This had
become the routine every time someone who didn’t know about him came to the
door. Bobo was very grateful for
it. If Rosa made him sit and stay in the
living room, then more likely it was Connie, or perhaps Jose or Isabelle. Otherwise, Rosa sent him to the bedroom,
where he went gratefully.

“How’s your house coming?” Rosa
asked Connie as they shared dinner together.
The two dogs were each chewing a large dog treat on the kitchen
floor.
“What a mess!” Connie replied. “You’d think that after all this time it
would at least look like something, but so far, I think it’s going to take
years instead of a few months.”
Rosa smiled. “I told you not to stay there. It’s always like that. But it will get better soon. You’ll see.”
“It better. Right now it looks like they’re taking the
whole house down instead of fixing it.”
“It’s a major renovation dear. They have to do that.”
“Well…it’s a mess! I can’t wait until it’s done though.”
“I’m sure!” Rosa replied.
“Would you like to come out
sometime and see what they’ve done?” Connie asked. “All it is so far is a bunch of destroyed
walls and floors, but I can show it to you if you like.”
“Connie. I love to.
You know I do a lot of renovations myself. I’d love to see it.”
“Great! You can tell me then if you still think
they’re fixing it, or destroying it.”
Rosa laughed. “Tell you what. We can go tonight if you like. Right after dinner.”
“Sure. That would be great Connie replied.”
Rosa glanced down at the floor were
Wolf and Bobo were laying with their dog treats, paying no attention to
anything else. “Maybe…we can even take the dogs for a walk.”
“Huh? The dogs?”
