How good is your dog? Well, lemme tell ya. My dog is so good that...
We went for our usual late night walk and when it was time to go back inside I picked up a backpack that needed to come into the house. So the house entering routine was broken a bit. The dogs are supposed to wait for permission before comming into the house. What with the disruption of routine Tessa just barged on in as soon as I opened the door. I just assumed that Thor came in too.
I puttered about for another hour or so and then went to put the dogs to bed. Only problem was Thor was missing. I looked all over the house and there was no Thor to be seen. I began to realize that he had probably not come in after our walk. My chances of finding a white dog in the snow at night with an hour's head start on me were not good. But there was nothing for it so I suited up, headed out and started the car. No sooner did I start the car then there was Thor in the headlights. Despite being left outside for an hour he was still in his own yard. When I stepped out to see if he was OK he just hopped into the car and climbed to the back seat ready to go for a ride. I had started the car to go hunt for Thor but he was so good had not entered the house because he didn't have permission, but he hadn't left the yard either. So we went for a drive around the neighbourhood anyway. Thor definitely earned his car ride tonight. That's how good my dog is.
