“So teach him to close the door”, my daughter Emma responded after listening to me 36 , again, about the dog ing in from the back door, bringing with him a blast of Buffalo January 37 air．
Teach a dog to close a door behind him? That has got to be a really, really 38 thing to do．But then she took it a step 39 ．“Come on, Kolby”, she said, grabbing some treats（犒劳物） and 40 him in front of the open door．“Touch．” And “touch” he did, which moved the door to a 41 position．She 42 him with a treat, smiled, looked at me, and said “see!” And I saw and became 43 ．Over the last few days I have been with Kolby．Each time he es in I bring him back to the 44 door and ask him to close．There have been 45 in the beginning, but lately more and more successes．
However, there remains much work to be done．I have to get him to follow my hand signal again and again 46 he will close the door from a distance．But, I now realize, as long as you keep to the focus , the 47 will be pleted, and, with the way things are 48 , pleted quickly．
What a 49 treat to have a dog that can close the door after himself! Even more wonder can be found in the 50 I learned so clearly from both Emma and Kolby．
A wish is just a wish until you decide to take 51 ．Once you 52 the belief that it is “too hard”, then it remains “too hard ” and out of 53 ．Once you want to acplish a goal, and 54 that it is “easy”, then it bees “easy” to do what needs to be done．Just 55 doing it．
