I am sitting at my computer on Saturday morning playing Warcraft online. I am heavily involved in a multi-player game when Bodhi sticks his head into my study looking inquisitively at me. I know immediately what is on his mind - A WALK!. He walks over to me, pokes me with nose and then looks at me,"Come on, give me a walk." He then turns and walk out again. About two minutes later this happens again. It then happens a third time but this time Bodhi makes a sound much like human speech ran through a dog filter. He then shakes his massive head. Clearly he's thinking, the human isn't that stupid. Then his head and tail pop up. He has got an idea. He trots from the den to the living room and I hear a scratching @ the door. Now Bodhi is about 125 lbs @ this point. He can quickly do a lot of damage to wood pretty quickly. I take the obvious hint, drop Warcraft and Bodhi stands patiently by the door watching me gather leash, pooper scooper and dog collars. I gather all three dogs - Devo the ferocious looking but lovable Char Pei/Chocolate Lab mix, Sasha - Chow Chow/Australian Shepherd mix and of course Bodhi, the fierce Tibetan Mastiff off we go. A brisk walk 45 minutes later we find ourselves back home worn out. Bodhi circles his favorite spot by the fireplace and gives me one last look. "Good Job," resting his head on his paws.
