Well, I have a game that I play with Bayley...I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS to ANYONE...but, well, we are weird and I completely enjoy it...
If I want to play, I just look at Bayley and open my mouth and shut it so that my teeth make a noise....then Bay wags her tail so fast and then she jumps up and air snaps about 1/4 inch from my nose! And I giggle and she sits, watches me and I open, close...and she air snaps...her tail wags so fast! She loves this game and I trust her completely...Bayley is totally controlled and would NEVER connect...I have done this with her since she was a baby and it is just our game...Dave doesn't dare try it.
Whenever I sneeze...no matter where Lexie is, I know that she will soon come scurrying to me with a toy in her mouth to make me better. If she can't find a toy, she brings a bone, if she can't find a bone, she brings a paper plate, if she can't find a paper plate, she brings some candy wrapper...but she never lets me down! I KNOW that a sneeze will bring Nurse Lexie.
Gracie has this adorable way of looking at me when she wants something...all of my dogs have "a look" but Gracie's is the most dramatic and charming thing... she not only bats at me with her paws, but she rubs her paws over her nose and ears and then she lowers her nose and looks up at me without moving her head....and I get that adorable pleading look that only dogs can give...
Other times when I am standing at the counter, Gracie will come up to me, standing only on her hind legs...not touching me, but gently putting her paw out, waving it in the air, as if she is raising her hand in school.
Sherwood...well, my Sherwood LOVES to carry things around. He finds the biggest thing he can grab and will carry it all over the yard and the house...for DAYS...once he decided to play with a 5 gallon water jug...taking the handle and carrying it like a bone...but he kept hitting the doorway when he'd go out. I buy him huge teddy bears from the thrift store and he takes their butt and carries them all over for weeks before he finally destuffs them.
You know...these things are "you have to be there" moments...written descriptions just don't do them justice!
