Yardley is a good dog:

a good listener, a brave scout and a clean eater.

he, because after all this time "he" is considered a person, inspite all arguments regarding language or rules of vocabulary, as i said, he always hears you, even though he reacts or not. he searches for everything, anytime - actually that's his only real preoccupation and he eats everything at the table, leaving no scratch nor crumb behind, therefore he's always clean after a meal and his place also neat.

he's good at the personality check also: always tends to do things only his way, no matter how you put it. he has such a personality that lately he is taken by all as a real-human person, sometimes granted duties beyond his abilities and unfortunately he is brought to book for the results. he holds no grudges. 


in the afternoon you really don't want to wake him up. to cut a long story short, you just don't want to wake him up at all. just leave him be, practically leave him sleep. better for everyone, specially for his so needed beauty-sleep. he holds his rituals so dearly.


just before going to bed, at night, you should play with him. he fancies getting attention a lot and can be very grateful afterwards. in fact, it's quite nice to play with Yardley. specially gin. he's very alert and can be a true adversary. when he happens to win he gives a round of water for everyone. you are bound to take it. maybe that's why in that sort of nights it happens to be so crowded  at the bathroom. luckily he wins sporadically.


the long and the short of it is:
1. Yardley was and remains a fairly good dog.
2. Yardley has, more than any other dog of his kind, personality.
3. Yardley, because of that personality, inclines to hold few duties of which their failure allures  responsibility.
4. Yardley should not be waken up in the afternoons, no matter what so ever.
5. Yardley plays gin quite successfully for a dog, in spite the night schedule of everyone's bladder.


after all, Yardley is a good dog.
