She seems to think it's acceptable to be a slacker.
I thought it was time to get some ground rules firmly established before she gets totally out of control.
First I went shopping and bought a book, which I left on her desk.
She didn't seem to take the hint, so I thought I better make things a bit clearer. I stuck this on the laptop screen..
Hmmm that provoked a slight reaction (if her screwing it up in a ball and tossing it in the trash counts!)
She still didn't seem motivated to get to work though. So I confess that I blatantly lied, I told her that in exchange for a years worth of solid blogging, no slacking and no excuses this was her reward..
Dumb dodo fell for it too! So don't expect me to disappear for at least 12 months.. Mum has her eye on her prize!!
Desperate times force desperate measures folks

Oh, Ben. Is your nose growing yet?
He,hee! Clever one Ben. Boy you are smart.Smarter than the leggededs that's for sure. Got any more tricks like that you can teach me?
Boy, oh boy, tell the beans those scritchy scratchies and belly rubs were the bestest ever. Sorry I kept pawing them for more. And they made Mom's day actually doing her card!!!!She went all sniffy.
Sending them wiry love and licks, Eric xxxx

Dave??.....DAVE!! It is you! How lovely, we weren't expecting to see your gorgeous peepers here (now Mother is swooning!) :D
Ben, we hope your Mum gets back into the routine....she and our Mum should form Slackers Anonymous, we have only been allowed to visit, like, three blogs in the last three days.....come on woman....put some effort in!! What's that Mum? You're busy? Doing what exactly?? *sigh* you just can't get the staff these days :o)

Bennie, when Mommy read "Yorkshire pudding" on your comment, she began to drool. Apparently, Granny used to make delicious "Yorkie" and roast beef every year for Christmas dinner. But since there's now only Mommy and Granny, she hasn't made it in years. She made it in a square pan so there were four lovely big crusty corners. Hmmmm, Mommy's drooling again....
Your pal,
Petey
Ben
You are a real cool dude. A good plan and we are sure it will work.

Hi Ben,
My Mom said she loves your blog and I do too.
I wanted to tell you that you look so strong and handsome!! Wow, you are soooo very BIG. I think your cute too.
I sure would like to be your friend.
Thank you for coming over to see me at my blog.
Until later wiggles and nisses (nose kisses), Luv Tessa
now now big boy, just remember who holds the treat strings
omdog, how COOL and smart! You are inspiring my buddy. I sure hope it works out for you!
Wow you are brilliant!!! That is a great idea!! Love A+A
How do you spell P-I-N-O-C-C-H-I-O?? Ben!

Cool book, Mom has Bloggers for Dummies, maybe we need to find that one for her too.
Hey, we see Freckles, aka Dave, there - he is such a sweetie.
Woo asked about the baby biped stuffies. Funny thing, the pups NEVER have touched any of the babies toys. And every morning the babies round up all the dog stuff that Thunder scatters through the family room at night and toss it back into the kitchen for the pups. Mom is always amazed that they have this mutual respect for each others' things.
Woos, the OP Pack
