Motivating Treats

Recently, we have been eating a lot of Chinese food.  No matter what we order we always get wonton soup.  One night the boys were looking paticularly cute so we let them have one of the crunchy noodles that come with the wonton soup.  We had no idea what we had started, but it turns out that the boys think these crunchy noodles are the tastiest things ever.

So, we decided to use these noodles for good and see if they could help us get the boys’ toenails cut.  Usually, the boys get a small treat when they let us cut all of the toenails on one paw (or in Benny’s case, since he puts up such a fight, he get a treat for each toenail we cut).  Well, it turns out that these noodles really have some pull with the boys.  They were the perfect gentlemen while we were cutting their toenails.  I had never seen them behave so well while getting their toenails trimmed.  So, after their toenails were cut, we held up our end of the deal and gave each one of the boys a handful of the crunchy noodles.  They loved it!
