The dog tiptoes into the room. He looks expectantly at us sleeping. With a loud sigh, he turns and leaves. At the top of the stairs, he sits waiting for me to stumble and follow him down to the kitchen. To follow and then coax him to the back door to be let out into the freezing night air.
He runs to the back fence and proceeds to inform the neighborhood of this accomplishment in a loud and penetrating bark – really a series of barks. When all have been told his tale, he returns and quietly sits at the back door waiting for me to notice him and let him back into the warm kitchen.
The look on his face says it all, “Mission completed, home and yard are secure for the night. You may return to bed.”
PS. Happy Valentines Day to All!
