Next door has a small dog who, between being taken for walks, gets let out the back door with an admonition to "Go potty, Sammie!" When he's finished his business and ready to go in, he gives one or two short, sharp barks, and they're very quick to let him in.

We've gotten into the habit of, when we hear the bark, saying, "Go potty, Sammie!" Not that he can hear us or would mind us because Not His People. It's just habit for us.

We've been watching the How to Train Your Dragon series on Netflix. In last night's episode Toothless was particularly courageous and protective.

"I want a Toothless!" I told OH. "We could let him out in the side yard. Nobody would even know he was there."

OH didn't miss a beat. "Go potty, Toothless!"

Hmmm, maybe not.
