That boy is so sweet, I would have to give him the towels! <br /><br />I can't remember if I told you about the musician that lived in my building when I first moved here... He played bass in Michael Jackson's band and I befriended him because I often had my patio door open and his dog, a cocker, would come to my door and whine for some of whatever I was cooking. He loved fried okra! <br /><br />I adored that dog and became friends with the humans too. It was a running joke at their place because the dog had an initiation ritual with first time visitors. He would run and get a towel. Thinking the dog wanted to play tug, naturally, the visitor would hold on. He would mimic tug for a few minutes but then would latch onto your hands with his paws while he "relieved his male urges" with the towel. Most people were too intimidated to simply drop the towel. <br /><br />Returning visitors never picked up the towel!

All her toys, and anything we leave where she can get to it are up for grabs in her mind. My daughter learned to not leave bras and panties on the floor or they would be out in the yard. We have all learned to pick up shoes, socks, toys --- you name it. Zoe will never bring anything back inside for some reason. She has even tried to drag a dog bed and a blanket out the door. If she gets things stuck she just leaves them half in and half out.
