We have 3 gals, two broodies, 12 and 9 and Rain"The Pupster" - age 4. Whenever one of the old gals wants to go out the Puppy just HAS to go with them. If Stormy goes out, then back in (Rain with her of course) and Sunny decides 1/2 hr. later that she wants to go out Rain goes with her too. She just has to escort them - I guess to make sure they "don't fall down and can't get up". After having had only old broodies for the last 5 years, having a 4 yr. old puppy in the house is quite a change - she has to be involved in absolutely everything.

Here we call it Echo's Escort Service He pushes and nudges my husband out of bed in the morning, down the hall, into the shower and down the stairs. Anything that's done on a schedule, he's there for. When the microwave dings, he stands in front of one of us and demand barks with his ears straight up in the air and his tail spinning. He's actually so quick that he makes the border collie angry since bossiness is her domain. She spends a lot of time barking at him barking ...which leaves him having to bark with her head in his mouth. I think that may have been a hijack, sorry Carol.

Too funny...it is the little sister syndrome - always wanting to hang out with the older sisters! In my household Bernie (the cat) is my escort. He likes to be where I am....the bathroom, the laundry room, the TV den and especially the kitchen!!

Rain doesn't want to miss anything but little does she know she could be missing something inside the house when she goes out! Echo sounds like quite the character!
