Maturity level is rising

Mama and I were piecing together carpet scraps to make a rug for the living room and didn't need a four legged accomplice. So Tug got peanut butter (which he adores) and we put him in his crate in the room with us. It took us a long time with much discussion, trial and error, and flipping of carpet pieces but Tug was just an interested observer- no barking. We were so proud.

Then my sister comes over just after that- hysteria central! The funny thing is if you say her name he runs to the window to look for her- even if she's in the room! Obviously, he knows who she is because he'll go to her when told to but ask where she is and he goes to the window...

Mama had laid the carpet scraps out a few days ago to train them to lie flat (they'd been rolled up). Several were in layers in the hall and she walked in there to find him napping on top of them- the softest spot at floor level in the house! :)
