I told Nora to go get her socks the other day. She immediately walked over to where she had deposited them on the floor earlier and brought one back. Little Miss Smarty Pants. Though now that I have pretty clear confirmation that she really does understand what I'm saying to her, I need to really think about what things I say in front of her.
We have Willie the Basset Hound with us for the next week and he does not seem to have forgotten how Nora clocked him in the face with a See 'n' Say last time he stayed with us. He won't let her get anywhere near him. And she desperately wants to pet him, and she's gotten good at petting Beezley gently so I think she'd be very good with him. But he's not willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Thus, she's been chasing him all day with me chasing her, as Willie just flees. This will be a long week for him. I can't wait to see how he reacts when I get the turtle out to clean the tank.
But with all this dog influence, I notice Nora and Willie have developed a similar habit. Willie will roll on his back to indicate that he wants his belly rubbed. Nora has started doing something similar. She falls on the floor and rolls on her back to indicate that she would like me to come and tickle her belly. Rather funny.
Now she is indicating that she is cranky and apparently it's snack time...
