Heck, I don't even need articles

Tracking with Tristan was a kick today. First article, boom, down in a platz all by himself. Second article, boom, down in a platz by himself. That's the way it went for most of the articles and I was bursting with pride. We haven't been able to practice tracking during this past week so it was exciting to have Tristan start right off like it was totally natural to him.

Then the trickster thought, Wow! I get lots of treats when I platz; I think I'll just platz a lot, articles be damned. He tried that ruse twice before getting back on track and actually waiting until he reached an article to platz.

My pride was ruffled but not extinguished. I think he does it just to mess with my mind.
