He is well-aware of the family economics, as he is always tuning in his ears to our latest household news. We find ourselves explaining the contents of the bags we return to the car! If we open the back gate, he peers his face over the back of the seat, as if to analyze the bag count and see if there is any large bags of dog food involved - or at least, treats such as Milk Bone.
He even enjoys going through the bank window line. He can be totally relaxed and almost comatose until we pull up to the banking window. Suddenly, he sits upright and stares into the bank window, making himself visible to the tellers. This is his proven tactic for getting doggie treats sent out to him via the money carrier.
Today was no different. We glided up to the window, Dakota sat upright and pointed his face at the teller, as she declared "What a cute puppy!" Puppy!? He is 102 pounds, but you know, he never lost that puppy face even at eight years old. She processed our banking and when the tray slid out, there was a little treat for him. I took it and handed it to Dakota and by the time he finished scarfing it, she had sent a second one out. 'Tis the season, even for dogs! We always thank the tellers for their generosity. I think maybe they expect one day Dakota will want to open a savings account.
