Our puppies are now over a year old, and they are already acting like teenagers. Case in point: I went outside to let in Starbuck only to find that not only had it started raining, but she had wrapped her chain around one of the trees at the far end of the area. Usually, when I call her in, she'll at least make an attempt to untangle, but this time she just sat there, wagging her tail.
Grumbling, I went back into the arctic entryway to slip on my sandals, and then walked out into the rain. She waited until I was midway into the yard before she ran around the tree, untangling herself and took off past me and to the door. As I walked back to the door, she then took back off into the yard, almost showing off. She would dart in, and then run off. At one point she ran past me, circled around, and almost tripped me up with her chain like she was recreating the Hoth battle. As I entered the doorway, she came right up and sat with her panting, goofy grin.
Both of the dogs will steal the chair or the couch spot you were sitting in (well, the comfy ones) the moment you get up to get something. Starbuck is pretty good about getting back out when I ask, but she then insists on climbing up into my lap. Meanwhile, River is much more stubborn. Sometimes, she will move a bit like she's making room for me to sit too.
