If you are into projects and crafts at all and have a Micheal's store near you, it is likely you are familiar with their weekly coupons that expire on Saturdays. This week, we had a really good one, 20% off the whole purchase, including sale items! However, there was nothing Mom or I could think of that we absolutely needed to run out and buy. Then, as I was taking a mental break from a paper I am currently writing I remembered I needed something for my niece's birthday cake in a few weeks. Mom was easily persuaded to go for a ride, but Jake was even more so. He's always interested in seeing where we are going and I think secretly hopes it will be the bank or the gas station. Most service station attendants (in New Jersey it is against the law to pump your own gas) carry dog treats in their pockets and banks have a jar full of Milkbones next to the lollipop container at the drive-up window. Jake is onto this and knows that if he isn't in the car, he doesn't get one. He also knows that I keep an "emergency stash" in my car to treat him after I return from my errand. When we came out of Micheal's, there was Jake, sitting right in the driver's seat so I wouldn't forget he was a passenger in need of reward.
