Scout is in the midst of training me for a new bedtime routine. We are about five days in and I honestly am not sure this is going to work for me.
Here's how it goes:
I get ready for bed and then he disappears. Then I spend the next fifteen to thirty minutes ransacking the house and shining a flashlight in hard to reach places while shaking a bag of treats.
He's such a dark black that he's invisible on a sunny day so hiding in plain view is his super power.
Eventually I start to question whether he accidentally slipped outside - even when I know for sure the door hasn't been opened. Just when I'm about to collapse into full blown panic, he presents himself and looks at me as though he wonders if I am having a mental breakdown.
He seems quite pleased with himself and I can't help but wonder how much longer this will go on. Of course, it will go on for as long as he says it will so I need to toughen up!
