I gave up trying to teach Peanut tricks long ago, but he's pretty good at teaching them to me. The walking down my arm trick is a pretty good one; I almost have it right. Yesterday evening it was about time for warm toasties, so I held my arm out. He walked about half-way down, thought about it, and walked back up my shoulder. Then he walked down to my elbow again, thought about it, and walked back to my shoulder. Finally, he walked down to my elbow. But I had it all wrong, since by this time I was already sitting on the couch. From the inside of my elbow, he looked over to my left hand. He looked back up at my face, and then looked over to my left hand. I knew what he was thinking: "Why should I walk all the way down to her right hand, when she could easily scoop me up in her left hand and place me into it, with no more work on my part?" So that's what I did.

I got it right today: He walked from my shoulder to my hand, where I promptly gave him snacks.
