Life with the Hounds

started to ask to go outside

Just this past month I finally started to ask to go outside. I will stand and look at the backdoor until Mom opens it for me. My first day of asking I would go outside for about 30 seconds and then ask to come back in to get my treat. Gretchen thought this was a fun game and played it along with me. I did this about 5 times in a row until Mom said enough already. Mom, thinks I just wanted to make sure that she would be let me back in each time and get a treat. Now I only ask when I need to go out. I have the best bladder control Mom ever seen in a dog. I still am not a morning dog will stay on Moms bed long after they gotten up. Will come wandering downstairs when I am good and ready. I want to go up the stairs and into the bedroom now I don't want to leave it.

I am the back up singer when Gretchen and Mom sing.

I am the back up singer when Gretchen and Mom sing. Neither of them can carry a tune but it doesn't stop us having fun singing. Gretchen sits up straight and kind of sings (OK ,barks ) the words. Our favorite song is," If your happy and you know it wag your tail". I will join in but stay laying down and pick my head up if I feels like it (or not) and I go ar-ruh, ar-ruh, aruh ar-ruuuuuuuuuuuuuh in the hound doggy way . Will work my way into the baying sound. They say I am the perfect backup singer for them. It is just too funny.

Yeah, it was a Camp Bow Wow day

We just got home from Camp Bow Wow. At camp I was showing off to CC Brain about all things I learned since he saw me last. He told Mom to try to teach me not only high fives but low fives. So I guess I will be learning that also. Not even Gretchen know that trick.
