Want out

Brie has discovered a new way of letting us know when she wants to go outside - scratching the wall next to the door with her paw. It's so sweet when she scratches then looks up to see if anybody noticed, and I feel like we are communicating so well together.

So when I let her out to do her business she usually initiates her toileting routine (Brie has a routine for everything) but is then immediately distracted by something; a neighbour, or a falling apple, or sometimes nothing in particular, but it all needs investigating. So off she goes charging around in the wet grass completely forgeting why she wanted to go out in the first place. And after a few minutes of mayhem she will come back inside, soaking wet and looking very proud of herself.

But then, a few minutes later, after she has been dried, a quiet scratching sound can be heard coming from the near the front door.. You better be going this time Brie.
