Yeah, "buddy,are you
shy?" DOES get a lot of "Awww's" from people. They right away like my dog after that one, as if he is actually shy.:msngiggle:
People laff hardest at Buddy's "Ey, Buddy,Wanna Beer?" and Buddy enthusiastically barks.
That one kills.
I often preface it
(setting up a 'cute' trick with conversational remarks is helpful for most impact, i think) by saying he is new dog to us, and that so far, his only problem is alcohol. Then i turn to buddy, and say, "Buddy, you wanna Beer?" and he barks, and I say, "See what i mean..? He always wants a beer.." the folks just laff and marvel over this.
His card trick is amazing, but now that i read above post, is true, folks enjoy the "cute" tricks the best, people like one that makes them laff or coo. The card trick does neither.
my newest trick, that took me a whopping three months to teach, is= I turn to buddy, ask him a political question, and Buddy shakes his head "NO!". :dognowink: This is only funny to people who agree with me politically, but to those who do, is quite hilarious.:msngiggle:
Oh, i've also named one Buddy's ugliest toys, a rubber chicken, after one of Craig's most annoying pals...i can turn to Buddy and say, "Buddy, Which toy reminds you of Bert!?" (i can change up the question, the cue is the word "Bert"...) and Buddy comes back with this
hilarious rubber chicken:ychicken:...Luckily, Bert has sense of humor..:msngiggle:
