If you have dogs that steal your heart with these two simple actions, you are not alone. While I did not anticipate this to be so, it happened rather quickly with one pup leading to two. Several times, I've needed to see a smile and wag to distract from fury (note the destroyed pillow pictured below). As if smiles and wags weren't enough, occasionally, these 2 canine kiddos give us pleasure in unexpected ways that are worth sharing with all of you.
The latest is Tucker's discovery of the touch lamp. We have a 3-way touch lamp on our bedside table. It dimly lights our trips in and out of bed. Tucker realized this as well. So, he recently discovered that the touch of his very own nose would light the lamp which is enough to rise me from my slumber. Adorable at 6 or later; annoying any earlier. Communication is his strong suit even without words!
I am certain there will be several more smile-provoking stories to share as we start their obedience training courses in just a couple days. Weekly, we'll round up their mats, 400 pea-sized treats, water dishes, harnesses and leashes and take them to a small environment where 2 other dogs and their owners will have just as much crap in an effort to add structure to their lives. Sounds like a recipe for success, right? Like I said, more stories will inevitably follow. Til then, try smiling and wagging your own way of your next mess and let me know how it goes!
