I always gave my commands to the puppies in a whisper - they listen better that way, too ;-) My kids were always loader than I was, so what was the point of yelling, lol. (Although I have been known to go into a tirade once or twice.)

It will be great either way. You and your dog will be incredibly interesting to this age. I don't know why but our middle child always does a longer version, "Criss cross, apple sauce, pepperoni pizza." Apparently he learned it that way at preschool.

The teacher still hasn't called me back - I'll give her a call again this morning. A lot will depend on her opinion. >>"Criss cross, apple sauce, pepperoni pizza."<< That sounds like a good food combination!
