Some Math

Friends,
Thank you all for your advice. My dad is a little hard to train, I know. He is doing great in almost every trick I have teached him, except a couple of them. Here's a summary:

1. He has not learned to kiss me.
2. He is not very enthusiastic when mom makes plans for pug events.



I thought I should apply the tricks I learned from my friends but got a little confused ... so I chose to put everything in writing and evaluate my tactics before finding a solution for my problem:



Happy pug = (Nice cold weather) + (Fun outdoor activities)

Happy mom = Happy pug

Happy dad = X

Mom + Dad + Coco = Love

Mom's love for Coco > Dad's love for Coco

Coco's love for mom < Coco's love for Dad

Dad's preference = Mom + Car

Mom's preference = (Dad driving) + Car + Coco

Mom's training capabilities > Dad's training capabilities

Mom's training progress = 100% (Pug obedience)

Mom + Dad + (Coco farting in the same room) = Dad blaming mom

Mom + Dad + fart = Mom blaming Coco (who is not in the room)

Dad + Coco + fart = Y

Mom + Coco + Petco = (New toy) + (New clothes)

Mom + Dad + Petco - Coco = Clothes and toy left at the register

Mom dining = Coco + Tiny piece of green bean

Dad dining = Coco + food scraps + leftovers on plate + carrot

There are two variables in the equation. I will let you know the solution once I find one. It may take a few years, though...

hahaha - those are some serious equations, I had to pull out my calculator for that one!

LOL - Coco, you are too funny!

And BTW - your dad sounds EXACTLY like our dad. What's up with those daddy like people anyway? Especially when it comes to kissing puggies?!

Pug love from,

Those are very serious equations. I will give a few hints, the pleading pathetic looks with the bottom lip stuck out does wonders on Gus and Indy's daddy. Laying his head on daddy's foot while he eats always earns Gus a treat. :)
And I always get blamed for any pug farting even if the pug was actually farting!!

Those are definatly some serious equations...love it!

And olive oil in the food? What does it do? Is it just for taste, or does it do something health-benefit wise for Coco?

My darling Coco,

You are so smart with all of your math! Just remember, mommies and daddies don't always SHOW love the same... but he does love you!

My daddy would do anything for me... but he would deny that. Silly men!

I hope you're happy...all that math made mommy's head explode!

Hi Coco, all these comments are great. I tend to agree with Pearl.
I also agree with Lex, about putting the head on the foot.
Don't rush to any conclusions yet.
Try looking pittiful and cold!
Good luck
love

WOW!!! You sure are a smart pug:)

My dad is not really too excited about going to Pug Meetups either. I guess it is a "Dad Thing"!?! My dad sure is good at farting with me:)

XOXOXO

You should TOTALLY get another pug to be friends with Coco! And a black female is perfect! :) They will be like best friends.

BOL, Loved the math, my Daddy doesn't love me at all. I wish he would!:(

You are a true thinker!!! That is some heavy math...I got lost around half of your list...I hope your plan works out!

Hi Coco! That is hard math to do. I hope you figure out the variables soon.
Have a great weekend!
Love Clover xo
