Ben's world gets rocked episode 2

Bad news. Mark the trainer came back.
I was chilling on the couch getting ready to watch some Gray’s anatomy and there was a knock at the door. I went nuts not only bc I was being interrupted but because I saw MARK. I should have known when Mom did not have her PJs on by 8…..
On went my leash and back to the ‘sit’ , ‘stay’ nonsense. I was so annoyed that whenever Mark just talked to Mom and Dad and left me alone I wouldn’t even look at them. I stared at the front door-desperate to escape and considering how I could make it out the front door. If I only had opposable thumbs.
Like he was my friend, Mark got down on the floor and told me to lie down. Stop. Hell no. So he pushed on my back to get me to do it. NOT COOL. I did it but was not happy about that. Then it was Mom’s turn. Just to make Mark mad-I did it for Mom the first time. How you like that big guy??? I kept trying to jump in Dad’s lap after this. Stop telling me how cute I am-I know it, I show it.
Mom asked how I was supposed to lay down (like where my legs should be) and Mark said if Mom and Dad were going to “show” me, then I needed to do it one way. He couldn’t finish his sentence because Mom laughed so loud. She said “Show him to who-my friends? He’s from a shelter down the road! You must be kidding.” I did not think it was so funny. I am pretty handsome and cute.
Then it was time to play Hide and Seek. They are taking making me human to a whole new level. What’s next, asking me to make dinner? . Dad hid behind the couch and Mom in the downstairs bathroom. They took turns yelling “Ben, come!” and I had to drag Mark around the house trying to find them (bc I was still on the stupid leash). After the 2nd time-guess what-I knew exactly where they were. If we are going to do this fools, bring it on. At least hide upstairs too.
Then I thought we were headed for a walk outside but all it was was Dad racing out the front door, with me on the leash to see if I would stop at the front door. Well since I love the whiplash of the leash when they jerk it when I leave the house, I thought I would stay put. They all cheered for me like I had invented a chew toy. Whatever.
When Mom and Dad said their prayers last night, I said a special one that I could just get some peace and quiet on Friday. No luck. Mom is working from home yapping away on her conference calls. Going to catch some Zzzzzs
