Ready, Set, Go

I think Robert's biggest animal pet peeve is a dog that won't come when called.  Our youngest critter has entered that phase of toddlerhood when he not only will not come when called, but tends to turn and run the opposite direction.

While this is merely frustrating on the farm, there is no doubt that it is dangerous when we go places like the farmers markets that tend to be on busy streets.  So lately, the easiest way to get Milan Monster to head the way we want him to is to call out "Ready? Set? Go!" and steer him in the general direction we want him to go.  

Sometimes it works...

Sometimes it gets us laughed at.
