So true. Communication between canine and human is pretty easy if the human partner has even just the slightest ability of observation and analysis of the canine's behavior. Canine's are loaded with these qualities so they read us expertly. Tibbe and I "talk" to each other as effectively as any human pair ever could in many instances and it sounds like each of you have that same fun relationship with your babies.
