I decided to walk the dogs before work today. I didn't tell them, though, because it is best to wait until I have the leashes in hand. If I don't, they walk really close to my legs, tripping me and happy whining and shivering with anticipation until we get outside. I don't think they understand, "Wait until I brush my teeth!" (who am I kidding? I don't brush my teeth before early morning dog walks). ANYWAY, I didn't tell them. That's the point.
As I rolled out of bed, Molly started getting super pumped. Her ears were perked up and she was staring at my feet. When I started changing into real-world-not-just-bedtime clothes, the shivering started. Maddie caught on and did like 8 stand-up-stretch-sit-downs (one way dogs release tension/excitement). When I put my shoes on, they lost it. They knew. They ran to the door. We walked.
All of this is fine with me, I just wonder what else they know.
Time to make breakfast and lunch now.
