He is his master\u2019s most faithful servant. Some mornings he seems to be able to read his master\u2019s mind or even better, my husband claims the dog knows before him when he will be taken on a jog.<\/p>\n
My husband is still in bed and wondering what he should do : go for a run or practice the piano or have a cold shower and start on his chores or what other choices there are. The dog knows what my husband is going to do. He is waiting patiently and attentively outside our bedroom door. The door opens and it\u2019s only me. He wags his tail for me and doesn\u2019t budge. I take about ten minutes in the bathroom. Coming back out, the dog is still there with bright eyes in his original position. I return to the bedroom, finding my husband still in bed, trying to come to a decision. He decides in the end to get up.<\/p>\n
Opening the door, he gets an overwhelming greeting. It forces him a step back into the bedroom. There\u2019s whining, prancing, jumping, yapping and a lot of tail-knocking against the walls which sound thin, of course, they\u2019re interior walls. My husband eventually manages to make his way into the bathroom and back within a short time. He announces his intention to go for a run. I don\u2019t think the dog has heard it, he is so busy chasing up and down the stairs in joyful anticipation. My husband gives an amused and pleased smile and coming down the stairs in his sportswear can hardly control the excited animal. There\u2019s still the job of putting on his shoes. The dog doesn\u2019t leave his eyes off my husband and is one hundred per cent to attention. \u2018Sit!\u2019 and he sits. \u2018Lie down!\u2019 and he does, ready to shoot off instantaneously as soon as his master makes the slightest move towards the door.
\nMy husband takes the lead, just in case, and that\u2019s the final signal. The dog\u2019s gone and my husband kisses me bye-bye, wishing he could get me so excited sometimes. What does he do to the dog that he doesn\u2019t do to me, he wonders, and he has an idea. Smiling mischievously he asks me : \u2019Would you like to go for a run???\u2019 No harm in trying, I suppose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
