September 2009
Rory and Charles have been busy doing their thing. Charles has learned how to close doors with his paw. I let him outside, and then when he's had enough, he comes back in and closes the door. If Rory is inside with him, this is fine, but sometimes he locks her out, and she will stand there, outraged at the thought. The other cay, when he had closed them both in, I looked outside, and there they were in the yard. He can now open the door as well, but hitting the door lever just right with his paw. It's a fenced in yard so they are safe. but now I have to make sure the lock is on when they come back in. He's just too clever.
Generally, Rory is very even keeled. She rarely barks or cries. Last week, I went to do a home visit for another rescue group. I took Charles with me so I could observe how the prospective home got along with dogs. It was his turn for a treat. As I was leaving the house with him, Rory started to wail pitifully. Alexandra got home before we returned and she said Rory was still wailing when she got in. She must have been saying, "What have you done with my brother? I want him back!! Why does he get an outing and you left me home?" I thought that was just so cute.
