The door to my room was almost entirely closed this morning when I woke up, with only the slightest push needed to shut it firmly. After our usual morning routine of enthusiastic licking (Kobe) and exhausted groaning (me), Kobe bounded off the bed and shoved his nose against the crack of the door. He snuffled a few times and then started licking the crevice frantically. All of this noise drew my attention and I sat up to watch him in hopes of figuring out why he was making love to the door. Suddenly the door creaked open, and he bounced out and ran down the stairs.
It was impressive to realize that my little dog had learned to open the door with his tongue. Less impressive, however, was the fact that I immediately tried the same thing and failed.
Maybe you just need to lick a little longer!
