Keep Hu-Dad Wondering

We know our humans sometimes watch us and try to figure out what game is being played, but we prefer not to answer and keep Hu-Dad wondering.

Roscoe staring at something on the ground.

Yesterday’s rains were starting to move in and a drizzle was falling. The other dogs had retreated to the house, but Roscoe remained outside. Hu-Dad stepped onto the deck to ask if he wanted to join the others but became amused at watching Roscoe do whatever it was he was doing. He was staring at the ground intently, not moving, just watching whatever held his attention. And, then, with little warning, he…

Woo!

Yes, Roscoe yelled at whatever was on the ground in front of him. A single woo, whether of encouragement or frustration was unclear. And with that single sound, the game was over. The spell was broken. And Roscoe was no longer held enthralled.

Well, that little moment should keep the Hu-Dad wondering.

    Roscoe-what in the world had your attention so intently? I guess Hu-Dad and the rest of us never will. You really have become one of the herd in such a great way!
