Another day in paradise! The kids are home from school and the dogs have been in and out of the house with no kennel time since the begining of June and they are loving it. I know there will be a transition time when the kids return to school when they must return to their kennels during the day, but for now they are enjoying the freedom and luxury of having a doorman.
I came home today to the usual hustle of home life with the exception of it being "take out night" - the one day a week I take a break from cooking. The pups all greeted me with their usuall spunk as I walk through the house to set the take out meal on the counter and start thier dinner. Oli took his usual seat in the corner and quietly watches and Jezebel usually stands between my legs (this is tolerable until I have to walk)and the Fatboy lays under the dining room table until I call dinner. They watch me toss the mixing paddle into the sink and everyone runs to the kennels for dinner. Now it begins - Oli scratches to go out and Jezebel joins him, I stop what I'm doing and open the door. I return to what I was doing - 5 minutes later Oli scratches the door so I go and open it. He hangs around for a bit and then scratches to go out. I say, "not this time buddy!" so he waits for someone else to walk by and scratches the door - sucker! THey let him out and sure enough 5 minutes later he is scratching the door again. I announce to the kids not to let him do this or he will keep it up all night and then my husband (who's been on the phone with business all evening) walks by and opens the door for Oli! All the long both the Fatboy and Jezebel lay on the patio sunning themselves probably making doggie comments like, "Oli sure is training the doorman well!" or "look he's got them wrapped around his tail". Who knows what they might be thinking but I'm convinced my title will change to "doorman"!
