Great Save!

  I believe that I have mentioned that my little peanut sheltie, Sammie backs out of cars. Actually she used to just stand on the back seat with her butt facing towards the door, tail wagging waiting for me to lift her out and she would give me this ever so helpful little hop when I would reach in for her. In other words, she would hop up in the air just when I was reaching for her and I would sort of scoop her out of the car.

  Things have changed since I got the van. At first she was a little confused by all the seats and things and she would stand in between the seats with her butt facing towards the door waiting for me to lift her out. Well, of course that wasn't working so well, so eventually she learned to back herself out between the front and middle seat and then she would wait.....ever so Sammie patiently and then the little hop-scoop thingie. It makes me smile every time she does it.

  Well now she has become this little locomotive sheltie, backing right out between the seats and into my arms. Which is great except when my arms aren't there to scoop. :-( This locomotive thing is picking up speed and yesterday when I opened the side door, I looked up to see this sheltie butt (tail wagging) backing right up and about to go over the edge. I had packages in my arms that I was juggling and a sheltie butt heading for me!!!!!!!! Needless to say I dropped all my packages just in time to scoop. GREAT SAVE!
