Report to The Agency: M3 makes New Year’s Resolutions

According to the Agency Field Manual for Puppies – “Be Outstanding in Your Field,” 3rd Edition, 2008 – all agents on deployment are required to make New Year’s resolutions that will strive to be in the best interest of the agent , The Agency, and the humans in the puppy’s care. To that end, please find the list of my ten New Year’s Resolutions as follows:

1. I will work hard to help keep my humans’ cats exercised.
   



2. I will file at least 100 newly discovered smells every week.
   



3. I will make sure my humans do not become lazy from sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
   



4. I will file regular squirrel sightings.
   



5. I will keep training my humans to give me treats after every time I do something such as sit or lie down. I will do this mostly by suddenly seeming to forget everything they believe they have taught me so they think they have to start all over again.
   



6. I will be diligent in sniffing out new messages from Big Wag at The Agency by stopping at every, single, sniffable scent when I take my humans for a walk.
   



7. I will do my very best to get to know James Hound, Agent K9, better, and try to learn from him.
   



8. I will try to devour more of my humans’ books, especially the Anglican Book of Common Prayer which I find almost impossible to put down.
   



9. I will make sure my humans get to know their local veterinarians by developing vague and non-specific stomach ailments in the middle of the night on weekends.
   



10. I will strive to not become predictable in my behaviours by seeming to not like the same snack food several days in a row, and then suddenly wolfing them down like I think they are the best thing on the planet.
    

That’s my list. The only thing I have to add is to wish everyone at The Agency a happy, healthy, prosperous and tail-wagging New Year.

As Always
