So yesterday Albert says to Yasi, "I think I just saw something." And Yasi goes, "what's that?" He says, "Tigerlily charged around the house, opened the door and went inside." Yasi says, "Uh oh! How'd she figure out to do that? I never taught her that!"

Then Albert and Yasi started saying how they were going to go to the store, and they went out. I thought, maybe if I really just act calm and nonchalant, they will bring me along. So I went into the dining room, pulled the latch to the garden door, and ran out to catch up with then. I started acting nonchalant, because usually Yasi does take me along, because I'm so helpful. I pick up the mail, for instance, when she drops it. She's an incredible klutz. How could she even think about going to the store without me?

"So you were right!" Yasi exclaimed, like she'd been standing there just waiting to see if I really could open the door! What, did she think Albert was making it up? Of course I can open the door! I've watched them open the door a million times! They think that's tricky? Uh, duh. Not.

Anyway, so now they are keeping their eye on the door . It's kind of funny, but I'm NOT going to open it in front of them unless they ask, and they're afraid once they ask me to open the door, the dog will be out of the bag so to speak. What's the big worry, the weather is nice, the garden's fenced it. All I want is to go out in the yard, though it would be nice also to go swimming and then Yasi says she's going to clip off my fur. I'm not sure that's the best idea in the world, but whatever, it's almost impossible to train these humans, but they are pretty darn cute anyway.
