I do not like citronella. It smells AWFUL. But I've been smelling a lot of it lately.

For Mommy's birthday Daddy gave her something called a remote citronella collar. I thought that was an odd present (Mommy asked for it), until they strapped it on me. Then I understood. Mommy calls it an investment in her sanity. You see, right now I am going through my "teenage stage" and while I know everything that Mommy and Daddy want me to do, sometimes I just don't feel like doing it. I admit, I've being lots of bad things lately, like stealing things off the desks or out of the garbage, harrasing Shadow, and chewing on things I shouldn't. But I'm a Lab - can you blame me? Well now I have to listen to Mommy and Daddy because if I do something bad they squirt me with citronella! Yucky! Mommy says in the last two weeks I have improved dramatically and she hardly has to squirt me any more. Daddy also says I've been good and gives me cookies at bed time - but only 3 (cheapskate). Biscuit has also been bad lately and Mommy says that she's next for the collar! Ha!

Love,

Dylan
