tonight i was sitting on the couch reading... i had just settled back down after taking the dogs outside where i left them to play. i hear this bark... wooof woooof... it isn't the normal alert bark and i turn to shari and ask her if she thinks that is bohdan calling for me.
she says no they are just playing. so i keep reading.
trillian comes in and sits at my feet facing the outside, and bohdan barks the same bark again. as soon as i get up to go see what is going on, trillian takes off for the back yard.
when i get outside bohdan is up on the top tier of the garden and seems stuck up there, he jumps down one tier but i can see he needs my help getting down to the next level which will allow him to get to the hill of the yard and to freedom. the top two tiers are far enough above ground that he can't just jump.
when i get to where he is he lays down and hangs his feet over the edge, and just like i help him out of the car, slide the front end to the ground and then ease the back end, he gets to the next tier and is off and playing some more.
it is really amazing how dogs communicate.
