“Dear Cocoa,
I have been trying to
get my pets to get me more treats, but they don’t seem to understand the
language. How do I get the message
across loud and clear?

“Dear Having
Difficulty With Communication,
As with any pet, they
don’t speak the same language. In fact,
they have a tendency to believe (take a deep breath because I know you won’t
believe this), but they tend to believe they are in charge! Sometimes we just can’t seem to get the
message across no matter what we do.
However, there are a few ways to let your pets know that you are unhappy
and they will usually attempt to get things to change the mood you are
displaying. One--leave smelly gifts on
their pillows for them to find when they go to bed. Two--after drinking your fill of water, be
sure to tip the bowl so the rest covers the floor. Three--lay about the floor all day without
playing or even showing signs of being interested in anything. This is a hard one, but it rarely fails. Your pet will try anything to get you back to
the active life you usually lead. Of
course, if you aren’t usually active, this tactic may not work for you.
Good luck with your
communicating,
Signed Cocoa”
