And in other news, my mom's puppy has figured out she can jump on the sofa, and is rapidly mastering the stairs. Soon, my mom's adult dog will have no sanctuary...
Also, this dog is...Wierd. While she will come when you call her or whistle for her, there is one tune that really gets her hyped. When I whistle the opening, rising notes of Gustav Holst's "Mars, bringer of War", she comes flying! And she gets very bouncy when she arrives.
It's as if the tune is a promise of ponies and presents for her.
And no, I didn't train her to do this. I was out in the yard with her, and I whistled for her. She came over, then chased the toy i kicked. We did this for a while before I whistled "Mars". And instantly, that is how she reacted!
Hmmmmm... "Mars, bringer of collies?"
