Oh, Jodie....

[flick]

Jodie is not a terribly observant dog. For every half dozen rabbits she flushes, she only actually notices and runs after one of them, and even then I usually have to point it out to her.

We had been thinking about putting a camera in the house, to see what she does when we're not around, but realised today that it wasn't strictly necessary: we came in, looked around for her, went up the stairs and were half way to our bedroom before she leapt off the bed, shot past us and back downstairs, managing to look horrifically guilty at the same time as her tail was wagging so hard that she couldn't run straight....

(She also killed a pot plant, but that was probably my fault for leaving it on the windowsill with the best view of the path to the stables and the garage.)

When we first got Tyson we'd come home and find a perfect, Tyson shaped dent in the middle of the bed. But we'd never catch him on it. They really do like to smell like their pack :)

I spent 5 minutes this morning with Tyson wandering back and forth between my legs demanding scritches. I sometimes think he's part cat.

In other words she did what every other dog does - sleep on the most comfortable surface she can find and spend some time looking out of the windows (if you're Draco, barking at pigeons)to see when your owners are coming home.

The whole guilty and excited thing reminds me so much of Maggie. We always kept the bedrooms out of bounds, but the sofa always seemed to be warm and a little bit doggie when we got home. She would very very occasionally get invited onto the bed with us. That was the BEST THING EVER!!!!! and she would be utterly beside herself with excitement.
