The Englishman and I were enjoying a cup of tea on our new love seat. A record was playing on the turntable and the sun was streaming through the windows on the beautiful Saturday afternoon. Chase and Charlie were snoozing on their dog beds and Abby was staring at me blankly from the door.
"What?" I asked her. She cocked her head to one side and approached with slow deliberation. She placed her head in my lap and looked up with her chocolate brown eyes. I stroked her head and reached for my tea. She nudged my hand. "What?" I repeated. She allowed me to scratch her ears for a few seconds and then nudged me again. "Do you need to go out?" I asked. Abby lifted her head and nodded it up and down as an answer to my question. I got up and followed her to her leash and took her outside. Indeed, she did have yard needs to fulfill and I had my first experience with a nodding dog.
