Puddin' freaks at the doorbell. She hasn't met a person she doesn't like, so the doorbell is, to her, a cue that someone is coming to see her! If the bell rings in the morning, she is especially hyper because that means Thandiswe (our maid) has arrived, and Puddin' adores her. I have to put her on the floor because she wriggles so much I am afraid she will slip out of my arms and hit the floor!
"Good girl" sends her scurrying to the treat jar, where she sits or stands, staring at the jar, ears pricked and quivering with anticipation. I'm not sure she connects the phrase "good girl" with her behaviour, but she sure has it connected to those treats! |
