He loves to show off, and will go through a whole little routine of things just to get attention, or especially if he thinks we are going to be eating something. He will stand on his hind legs, and wave his little front paws in the air, then he spins around in a circle and chases his tail.
Next, he wants us to know that he is ready to eat, and if you say the "chicken" word to him, he will put his paws together in the air to "say his prayers" so that he can have the food. Of course, he has to sit nicely while we actually do say grace for our meal, but then he is right back up jumping around and showing off again.
He always climbs up on his pillow when I am eating and patiently waits for me to give him bites of my meal, which (of course) I always do.
He is just the greatest little dog, and always keeps us entertained.
Wow! I've been watching videos on YouTube of dogs saying grace before meals. I really want to teach my dog how to do this. Did you teach Chipper this trick yourself? If so, how did you do it?? I must learn!!
