Yuki here keeps devising ways to communicate with humans. Just now, he approached me while I was working on the computer, stood on his hind legs, and started pawing at me. I say, “okay, I got it, let’s go play.” We go up to the second floor together. First, he plays with toys and me, then with a little berry (see video). I go to read a book (Elon Musk). He heads to the kitchen and paws at the fridge. I say, “Oh, I need to feed you, don’t I?” I go to pour him some food – he gets some ham from the fridge as a “scented” topping to his feed. While I’m cutting the ham and mixing it with the feed, he taps on his empty water bowl. I pour some water. A bit later, he will start tapping his paw on the cupboard because that’s where the “Treat” is (a special edible thing for teeth). But the Treat is never given right after food, so that will happen later. Yet, there’s always a “now let’s play” after eating. What silly owners, the dog must think, everything needs to be explained to them.
