Can We Come, Too??

Want to test your dog's observation skills? Pack for a trip.

It never ceases to amaze me how well these two know if we're going somewhere. I can't figure out how they know the difference between me doing laundry and me packing, but they do. Long before the luggage comes out, our dogs are carefully watching everything we do, waiting to see if they're going, too.

All I have to do is head towards the corner where their food/leashes are, and they go BEZERK! They start jumping up and down and running to the door, and generally acting loony. Last night, I started dishing their food into a bag for our camping trip, and Samson started making the most unbelievable whining noises, you'd think his head was caught in a vice! They'd already been fed, but because I was taking their food somewhere, they HAD to be there and beg. I gave them some kibbles merely to regain my hearing.

So we're off for a camping adventure this weekend, and these two are roaring to go! We're lucky that they do well camping, and rarely need to be contained, since they stay with us so obediently. They're never so happy as when we're going somewhere and they get to come along!
