After his evening walk and our dinner (which, as usual, was shared with Mr. Dog), Ami appeared to want to go out...he does this little hoppy thing where he hops forward while, I kid you not, waving his head as if to say "come on, come on, lets go..." Just like Lassie in the old tv shows when she led the rescuers to Timmy.

So I walk to the back door...Ami stops dead and just looks at me. So I say..."ok,ok, so you're a front door dog" and walk to the front door...but he has only gone half way into the laundry room and stands there very alert and focused on me. I'm a bit lost by this and just look at him.

And begin to laugh, a deep, belly laugh much appreciated to lift my gray mood.

WHy? Because when I made eye contact, he glanced over at the freezer and started licking his chops.

Yup...that's where his bones are...

Ami sounds hilarious!

lol very funny.

Amy, I love hearing your stories! Ami does sound like quite the character!

Haha, that's adorable! He's like "Hurry! Follow me! I will show you the way!"

Checking in, finally have some time for a forum! Amy Maya does the head thing too, must be a husky thing...and if ignored we start the brrr thing and that doesn't work we muzzle punch to get your attention. This is lots of fun when working at the computer with head phones on, deep in concentration and then an unexpected thump in my side, next thing I know I jump which in turn scares her also so she goes tearing out the office.

Great to hear from you again, Hughie

That progression sounds a lot like Ami - particularly if I'm on the computer or drinking coffee at the table. Or if I'm busy walking around, I get the "butt butt" where he runs up, bumps me in the butt with his snout and then bounces back with an engaging "let's play" look on his face.

I love Ami. Great story!
