I was sitting on the couch, we had just finished dinner and I was contemplating what I was going to blog about today, when my topic was handed to me, with a knock at the door. (Okay, it was really the doorbell but that just didn’t flow.)
We all peeked out the window to see a young lady standing on our door step.
I said to Chet, “Do you want me to handle this?”
He replied, “Yes.”
The young lady (Rachel) standing on our doorstep, was soliciting donations for the Clean Water Action group. (Incidentally, Clean Water Action group is currently in a facebook competition, so if you could go and like this page it would be awesome!)
While I was filling out my name and contact information, Rachel said, “That’s a cute dog you have there.”
“Thank you” I said. (Like I actually had something to do with his good looks.) “Actually there are two of them.”
Yes, there they were sitting like very good dogs at the top of the stairs.
Whenever someone comes to our door, we always try to have the dogs sit and wait. They really struggle when it is someone they know and love (try getting through our door when you are loved by our dogs!) But if Chet is in charge, they usually sit.
I then poked my head in the door to see if Sampson could come down and say hello. As soon as I said his name, his body was already in motion. Naturally monkey see, monkey do, so Delilah came too.
The important thing to me, is that they waited until they were allowed to greet our visitor.
Nautica has so much to learn, she is a jump on you kinda greeter
It is constantly working with them in their training. Nautica will get there!
What good dogs! My dog tends to bark like a freak at any and all visitors so we usually have to put in her her crate while we answer the door. It’s her safe space where the evil delivery guy can’t get her.
I never know what to say when people compliment my dog either. I normally say thanks but it sounds so weird. “I agree” sounds even less polite, however.
Thanks Kristine, Shiva will get there, but in the meantime there is nothing wrong with her going to her crate if that is where she feels safest.
I supposed I could have said, “We like to think so.” But that isn’t what came out! LOL
What a great photo! How cute! when peeps say how cute Molly is, I don’t hesitate to say thanks, cause I feel like I DID have something to do with it, hahaha! Maybe a little bit Too much in love with ‘my’ baby! lol

Such well-behaved pups! Amazing…and gorgeous. 🙂
