If I don’t open the sliding glass door wide enough for Dakota, she’ll pause and glance up at me like, “HULLOOOO!”
The other day Dutchess wanted into the back yard via the deck. She stood in front of the gate and glanced up at the latch. I thought that was interesting.
But Dakota is, by far, the best communicator and she can be very adamant. I took Dutchess to the vet once. The next time I went to take her to the vet, Dakota was ADAMANT that I was not going to leave her home again! She’s a really obedient dog, but there was no way in hell she was staying home. So I had to pick her heavy butt up and load her in the truck because she can’t really jump any more.
One time Dakota crapped in the laundry room. I saw it and told my self I’d clean that up after I wake up.
Well, poor Dakota kept walking by the room glancing in worriedly. After the 3rd time I realized she was waiting for the shoe to fall! So I put her out of her misery. I squatted in front of the door, and pointed at the pile and said, “You know better than to do that in the house!” She was all hangdog. Then I opened the door and she gladly went out side.
I saw her a few minutes later, lying in the yard, much relieved and happy now.
