A SIMPLE THANK YOU


This is Chloe with her most recent favorite toy. If you are otherwise occupied, she has been known to place her paw on your knee to ask you to play. I don't find that to be particularly unusual for a dog. What I do get a kick out of is when I give her fresh water and when I put the dog dish down with the cool, clear water, she will give my hand a quick lick (kiss)--a sort of thank you before she begins her lapping and splattering. She does this maybe 25 percent of the time, but her intent is clear. She is appreciative. I tell her what a good dog she is as I watch her make the usual mess by her water dish.
