Did you ever dream that you were a dog agility super champ except then it switched and you were at some germy, grungy, derelict seaside park in the dark and the carnies were actually drug addled zombies that were shambling after you with hammers and their big teeth? And then as you're trying to escape your way out from under their oily, horrible claws by clambering up a rat infested palm tree, you're all, this is about dog agility like, how?

So this morning, I open the back door for Ruby to go out, and then leave it open a crack instead of shutting it all the way.
Gustavo runs over, and just stands there for a really long time, staring at it. I think he is using psychic abilities to open it and he has, actually, no psychic abilities. It doesn't occur to him to stick his nose in the crack and open the door. He never looks over at me to see if I would open it. He just stands there staring.
Eventually Otterpop comes over with a bone in her mouth. It is way too large to fit through the door. So she drops it in front of the door, re-picks it up in a different teeth grip, and then uses it as a tool to open up the door wide enough for 2 dogs and lets them both out.
So maybe if I got him some food for when he figures out how to get me to follow him to the dog food shelf, I would be reinforcing some good, taking initiative behavior? Instead of weird, psychic staring?
Is he conducting an experiment on me? Maybe Otterpop put him up to this.
What does this make Otterpop?
