On Sunday evenings, we always go to dinner with our neighbors. Tonight it was just the Gaskills and us, so we were home rather early. Jordy and Nelson were their usual crazy selves, running and jumping like crazy. After they wound down a bit, Jordy went to his bed. Nelson, however, stood over by the kitchen, whining at Jordy. He would whine a bit, then lay down, get up, whine some more, move to the other side of the room, whine more, jump around a bit . . . it was rather funny, but we couldn't figure out what was going on . . . until I noticed Jordy had a cow hoof and Nelson wanted it. Jordy made it very clear, however, that it was his, and soon Nelson gave up.
A few minutes later, Nelson went to the door and began ringing the bell to go outside. He is rather persistent, so eventually I went to let him outside. The minute I opened the door, Jordy jumped up and ran outside. Nelson, on the other hand, stayed inside, turned around, and grabbed the hoof. Jordy continued outside, so I closed the door and Nelson had his hoof. A few minutes later, Nelson rang the bell again . . . but he just wanted Jordy to come in . . . and then he ran to the hoof so Jordy couldn't have it. It has been quite the adventure this evening, but to see Nelson scheme to get his hoof was rather interesting. And who says dogs aren't smart?
