Maybe it's just me, but it seems Riley has become a little attached to us. His cat-like demeanor is usually the norm. You know what I mean, his attention is only offered on his terms, in his time, and at his convenience.
Over the past few days I have realized he is seeking me. I am working at my desk and feel the soft nudging of a wet nose. I had not heard him approach. His gentleness still amazes me. Yet he is asking for affection. This is a first.
Last night at supper he actually ran to the table when I set the plates down. He was asked to lay down and he did, but at least he exhibited some normal dog behavior. As a reward he was given a steak bone and some steak fat in his bowl after we ate. At breakfast today he waited by the table until I was done and then enjoyed some scrambled eggs. I always heard the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I guess men and dogs can be paralleled here also!
As I am typing this he is snoring under my desk with his head resting on my purse. What a picture!
