Buddy just may be the most polite doggie in the world (well, sometimes).
She asks to go outside when she needs to fart.
Really.
Now if my husband and son would just excuse themselves to the bathroom when...

We Had A Situation In Our House, One Night
It involved a freakishly huge spider. All right, maybe not freakishly huge, but it was surprisingly large.
And with my shrieking I may have accidentally traumatized Buddy.
Poor Buddy. She literally ran around. Frightened herself, or looking for what frightened me, I'm not completely sure.
But, I think her thoughts probably went something like this:
Buddy: Mommie, Mommie, why you making that noise? The doggie doesn't like it.
But Mommie, it's OK!
You made ham for dinner [I was literally on the way to the table, for dinner, when I saw the spider].
You can share it with me.
We'll both feel better.
Because ham makes EVERYTHING better.
(I don't know why you got so upset when I almost caught that truck today, Mommie. It was moving, and big, and I almost got it!)
Give the doggie more ham, Mommie, you'll feel better.
More ham, Mommie, more ham!

Buddy Let Me In The House, All By Herself
Poor babe, she thought I was locked out.
I wasn't.
I was actually waiting for my son to bring me a bag of trash, to set out for pick-up.
Buddy, however, didn't know that.
She thought I needed someone to open the door and let me in, as she often does.
It was only the screen door that was shut, so I could see her, and I could see the wheels turning in her mind when she realized that Nick's priority wasn't letting me in the house (of course it wasn't, he was getting the trash as I asked him to do).
She decided I needed in, and it was up to her. So she ran over to the screen door, stood on her back paws, while she put her weight on the upper half of the screen door with her front paws, and opened the door for me.
Note, that she sometimes helps the cat in and out a different door in the house, but when she does that, she nudges the door with her head, shoulder, or paw, just depending. But, to open the door for me, she purposely threw her weight so that she came as close as she could to opening the door for a human, as a human does.
What I thinker! What a problem solver! What a sweet thoughtful doggie!
I praised her, of course.
What a good, smart, girl!

They're Just Like Kids!
So, this evening, Buddy followed my instructions to greet The Cat with "kisses only."
Buddy did great, so sweet, and The Cat tolerated it.
Or so I thought.
The Cat walked down the hallway. Once she reached the end, she stopped and looked at Buddy.
Then, she made a point of licking herself clean in the exact spot where Buddy had kissed (OK, licked) her.
Buddy, of course, took down the hall at a run, at this insult.
I tell you, the cat and the dog, they're just like kids!
They fight just like my kids did.

This One Reminds Me of Buddy
Because it describes the relationship she has had, or rather, not had, with every single one of the cats she has met in her entire life.
