You call that a talent? It's hardly a trick.

Nestle catches bees. In her mouth. I'm serious. Louise nearly fell out when she saw Nestle open her mouth & catch a bee that had been buzzing inside the vestibule. Then she spat it out & it lay on the ground, motionless. The next day she caught another one. What is wrong with that dog?? I know how to do real tricks: I can sit and lie down, of course, but I can also walk across the room & sit on my mat when I'm told to--and I can give a high five. Those are talents, people! Open-mouthed bee catching is just...weird. I mean, what if she gets stung? What if she's allergic to bees & her face swells up or something? I'll have to sit in the house by myself while she goes to the vet's office. You'll never see me catching bees. That's just too dangerous.

Hmmm, Nestle's a fearless little thing, huh? And since she's so quickl to catch bees, that means they're not buzzing around my head & stinging me. Maybe I ought to treat her with a little more respect...

Naaah.
