Trust Test

I am constantly doing little, annoying things with my dogs to push their buttons, put them outside of their comfort zone and try and figure out their thresholds. Today, I put Eden in a big cardboard box on the coffee table and then made her wait there (she has absolutely no concept of the word stay or any other obedience command really...nor her name) while I got my camera out and took some pictures.

She wasn't terribly sure about the whole thing at first:

Then she decided it might be better to sit instead of making the box more tippy:

I like how her personality matches the slogan on the box...
