This past weekend we had our second yard sale of the summer. Pippy was a big help - she greeted everyone, and even stole some pats and belly rubs. It was during our yard sale, though, that I made an interesting discovery.

I've discovered that nothing is more exciting for Pippy then when people go through the front door. She always runs to greet whoever may be stopping in, and she always barks and bounces about as we depart for a walk. But this weekend we discovered it is just as exciting when she is already outside, and someone is coming out. True, there are many positive associations for Pippy when she observes this behavior, that is, walking through doors. But a part of me can't help but anthropomorphize her glee into babyish cuteness.
