What a good boy he is!! Wow. What an honour to be known so well by a dog.Peggy is very sweet.
Mr. Layne picked up on something that's quite sweet. For most of my life I have had horrible time sleeping. Insomnia x 100 is how my doctor described it. My husband has seen me go without sleep long enough that I'm pretty much a looney bird. A couple hours for 3-4 days. I'm way better now that I'm semi retired & can just adjust to whatever whackadoodle sleep issue I'm having. But Mr. Layne picked up on the problem very quickly. If I let him in from outside & I say, "naptime" he loads up in his crate next to my bedside & will just wait for me to get in there & close the door (for safety so he doesn't get into something when I sleep). Well the other day I'd been up/or awake every hour. I was really tired & a bit out of it. He came to me, bumped me, went to his nap crate, if I didn't come that way he'd trot back in & mouth my hand & look at me like 'come on'. I finally told my husband, "honey, the poodle says I need a nap" to which he responded "go take one" & I followed Mr. Layne into the bedroom. I sat down on the side of the bed, then he came out, bumped me with his nose like, "hey, Mom, you gotta shut my door, remember?" I got up & he went in but I got a slurp & gave him a nose smooch before I shut his door.
I thought that was pretty sweet & extremely knowing of him.
Our late poodle used to put her toys away when she was done playing with them, most of the time that is. If she was interrupted and failed to put the toy back, she wouldn't even try to look for it the next time she wanted it. She would just stand and stare first at the toy pile, then at me, then back at the toy pile until I went and found the missing toy. I was her search and rescue human.Peggy, as expected, immediately picked up the ball and continued exploring the room with it in her mouth. She poked her head in the closet, sniffed under my bed, nudged a dust bunny or two, and then I moved towards the door and said, "Okay, Peggy! Time to go!"
Well. She trotted over to the corner and put Gracie's ball BACK in Gracie's bed!!!! And then casually joined me at the door as though she'd done nothing special at all.
I'm still looking at her with wonder in my eyes.
Ha! That is so funny. She sure trained you well ?Our late poodle used to put her toys away when she was done playing with them, most of the time that is.
