Lilly has figured out that certain getting-dressed routines mean various things that may or may not involve her having any fun. The other day in my mad dash to get out of the house and deal with eldercare issues, I found her glued to one spot, just looking out the window. At first, I couldn’t figure out what she saw. When I realized a bunny had caught her attention, I figured a little border collie obsession wasn’t a bad thing for her with me being so busy.
I put a circle around the bunny, who seemed to be enjoying dropped bird seed from the feeder above.
Lilly didn’t bark. She didn’t squeal. She simply sat and watched … the entire time it took me to get ready to leave.
Man, my dog would have blown my ears off my head in the same situation.
