A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

So why is it so hard to get Mom to understand me.  I sit right by her chair next to the porch door to tell her just what I want.  But she doesn't always get it.

I think I'm being pretty clear when I tell Mom I want to go outside for a walk or I just want to go out and sit in the sun.  See, this means I just want to go out the back door to sit on the porch.

That was pretty obvious, right?  And THIS, means I want to go out the front door and take a walk.

How could she not understand that?  But she more often opens the back door and I just look at her till she gets that I want to go out the front door for a walk.

This next pose means I want a treat.

And this one means, when are you going to drop something from your plate so I can snarf it up?

And this one is, I've waited here so long for you to figure out why I've waited here so long that I'm falling asleep.

Some day we'll understand each other.  But she's coming along.  It's a lot better than it used to be.

Hope you and your pet can communicate at least as well as Mom and me.

Love, G
