[225/365] gremlin dog

[cosmolinguist]

I was peacefully sitting outside early this morning, having done a YouTube exercise video and then a shower, contemplating breakfast, when suddenly I heard a very sleepy QMB, hours earlier than it's a good idea to see her in the mornings, saying "what's wrong?"

Not to me, to Gary.

He'd snuck upstairs (I'd forgotten to close the stair gate!) and into her room (bedroom door usually closed wasn't last night to circulate air better when it's warm) and banged on her bed until she followed him downstairs, worried that something had happened to me or whatever.

She and I were both so worried to see each other, heh. Gary just wandered off like "my work here is done!"

Gary the Yenta!

Such a good dog.

dog just checking to make sure everyone is paying attention, eh?

I guess so!

He does seem keen on Human Enrichment activities, like the games we play with him he thinks are for our benefit, and he's invented his own game called "pretend you want a walk and then run away giggling when the humans get your leash out" which we do not like (especially because he plays this in the evening when we're tired...) but it's clearly something he thinks he's doing for our own good.

gosh, i love/hate when dogs do the walk fake-out? we had a dog friend that really wanted to sit in my partner's favorite comfy chair, so she pretended like she wanted to go out so that we'd all get up and start getting ready to leave, then pounce into the chair and settle in with a 'ha ha tricked you' look.

Gary used to love that game! Luckily that one has faded a bit (but probably other shenanigans have increased accordingly).
