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!
