Canine progress …

1. The dog is not allowed in the house.
2. OK, certain rooms.
3. Well, all rooms but not on the furniture.
4. OK, the old furniture.
5. Fine all the furniture except the bed.
6. OK, the bed … by invitation.
7. The dog can sleep on the bed but not under the covers.
8. All right then, under the covers by invitation.
9. OK, under the covers, every night.
10. Excuse me, dog, can I get under the covers, too?

Thanks, Trish.
