I say "irrational" because Jenna Doodle is a farm dog, which means she is outside all the time (except in thunderstorms when she is terrified, and in 30-below when the heated pad in her insulated doghouse might not keep her warm enough) and she can go for a walk any time she pleases.
And yet when I go out and she and Ducky Doodle think I might be going for a walk, they both frisk and leap about like pups. They are so excited and happy that their enthusiasm rubs off on me. I guess it's a dog thing, that's all. A walk with the pack, perhaps, is more highly valued than a solitary wander.

Good lard, can't believe how much like Ansa she looks. Ansa recently figured out that to get up decently having laid down, without the human's assistance, she has to reverse on to one of the mats that I've scattered all over the house. Reverse. I was gobsmacked.
