I have two pugs of my own, and know the joys and trials of teaching tricks to a pet. Sometimes, teaching a pet tricks is its own frantic existence. I find little joys as well, which are evidenced in my own recent post, if you find time to grace your presence on the blog of a mere mortal such as myself.

Do you think reading the Classics would help me to better teach tricks to my pugs? I value your wisdom on this subject.
