I've read stories in the past of being so in tune with your dog that your dog will vocalize for you in your time of need. Sort of like Lassie and the whole, "Timmy in the well" thing.
Timmy tells Lassie he needs help, she listens and goes to find help.
I never thought I'd have a dog that would do that... until the other day. (And no, I did not fall into a well!)
I was in the kitchen making hot cross buns and I needed Mike's help. He was in the laundry room using the tub. Gimli was lying in the hallway directly between the kitchen and the laundry room. Mike had the faucet running so he couldn't hear too well.
"Hey Mike."
Silence.
"Hey Mike."
Gimli woofs.
"Mike".
Gimli woofs again.
Mike didn't make the connection that Gimli was trying to get his attention, but I did and I thought it was kinda cute. I ended up going into the laundry room to get Mike's attention.
I can't wait to see when else Gimli will speak for me.
What a helpful little Gimli! :)
