Walkies

is our new favorite word! This is us before. We're hanging out in the family room, and Aunt Pat is talking to Chloe and Katie about the evening activities. Then, she said the word "walkies".

This is how we reacted! Chloe and I barked, jumped and I even spun around a couple of times. Katie didn't jump around like Chloe and I did, but she whined rather loudly, and put her front paws on Aunt Pat's leg so she could clip the leash on her. She is a more genteel dog. When the usual time for both our walks approaches, Katie will wag her tail and give Aunt Pat "the look" that means "Let's go!" If Aunt Pat doesn't get the hint, Katie will sit down and keep giving her "the look". If that doesn't work, then Katie will start yodeling and chirping. Usually Aunt Pat understands the demands pretty quickly. But, I'm sure Aunt Pat understands what Katie wants and is just letting her know who's boss by making her wait.
