I started laughing this morning as Katie and I were getting ready to go outside to do her business.  All she had to do was get the leash clicked on her collar.  I, on the other hand, put on boots, my husband’s double heavy work coat, ear muffs, heavy gloves, pulled the hood up and considered whether or not I needed a scarf.

She waited somewhat patiently, staring intently at the closed door.  Finally I was ready for our 5 minute trek into the 7 degree morning and we ventured out.

She did her job in a minute or two and turned to come back inside, where I unclicked her leash and she dashed off.  I, meanwhile, shed the boots, earmuffs, gloves, heavy jacket and sighed.  She was already on the bed where she wasn’t supposed to be.

OFF!
