W-a-l-k?

[SWHouston]

In the mornings, I sit at the Breakfast Table, thinking about what I will do that day. Sneakers and Becca can be napping somewhere, the house is totally quiet, and I haven't done anything to alert them to my "thought" of going to the Grocery or other "out" things. Customary triggers are, picking up the Car Keys, putting on shoes or putting things (wallet/other) in my pocket.
I have done NONE of these things, not spoken any word...just sitting there quietly.

All of a sudden I hear the "romping" footsteps of my guys dashing toward me.

I look down, and My Male Sneakers is standing there, looking back and forth between me and his Harness, which is hanging on the end of a Table. I swear, I have not moved a muscle, only thought to go somewhere.

This happens so frequently, that I have tried to "think" of going, but not really meaning it. That doesn't work, somehow he knows the difference.

I am beyond amazement.

I enjoyed reading all the comments about dogs knowing what you're about to do... or spelling out so hopefully they dont catch on... but they do LOL.

My girls know the basic words and Luke cat knows "are you ready to eat?" I've always thought dogs are smart (smarter than some people LOL) and know what we're saying or thinking.

This is a great thread! From Tucker's happy dance to SW Houston's Yorkies knowing when their person is even thinking of going somewhere! And Tucker Dog, I would love to go for a w-a-l-k with you.
