From there, Sam took over with his own rules:
#2 - no barking at dogs that are bigger than you. (ie, our dog Lucy)
#3 - don't make me lose you
#4 - no going in the street. Well, you can go in the street, just watch out for tires.

Sam decided a tour of the house was in order, so Cookie was led/dragged around the house on her leash (I guess, because leashes are more fun?) by Sam. He kept taking her back to his room and closing the door so they could have special 'alone time' together.
