Uh Oh

Last night, while speaking to Michael, who was heading back to the office to pick up a payment from someone, I made a mistake and used the words... BuhBye...in .. the... car.

The dogs heads shot up and they went zooming down the hallway then back, grinning from ear to ear, tongues flapping because I said those majic words Buhbye in the car.  So off they all went.  Charlie, Kali and the old Fart.  They took their regular positions: Kali in the back seat, Charlie and Michael up front.  Out, stop, money, back and they were home after a whole 15 minutes...tops.

They stampeded into the house, grinning tongues flapping, skidding down the hallway because they missed the turn into the craft room, and plowing into a heap of dogs (if two can be called a heap) against the wall. 

I don't want to even imagine what it would be like if we said the magic words adding one more.... CHICKEN.  The dogs are downright goofy about chicken. 

Later Charlie comes into the craft room with that look in his eye.  the "Uh, mom, there is something on the stove that nobady is eating so...CAN I HAVE IT?  I told him he had to wait till my show was over.  PBS no commercials.  So just as the show is ending, in comes Kali with a look that I don't quite understand so I ask her to show me.  She leads me out of the craft room, checking over her shoulder to make sure I'm coming, then goes to Charlie as if to tell him that it's now his turn to lead me into the kitchen where CHICKEN was waiting to be eaten.  So now I'm being double teamed. 

Is it possible that the dogs are smarter are me?

Somedays I think trees are smarter are me.
