Do You Want Me To Get My Shoes On?

When Snicker was with us, Linda taught him that "Do you want me to get my shoes on?" means going for a walk.  I picked it up from Snickers and have taught it to Chimmie.  Linda actually has to close the door on us and go in another room when she gets her sneakers on to teach class.  Even if she does not say the words, as soon as we see her start to put her sneakers on, we go crazy.  If she puts her boots, flats or church shoes on, we don't move a muscle.  We are such smart dogs that we can tell the difference in shoe styles.  Here is just a little clip of how we act when she says those 9 magic words. At the 8 second mark, he almost jumps high enough to hit the iPhone! At the 29 second mark, watch what Chim does every time he hears the word "trail".  It brings out the wolf in him.  That is the only time he'll howl like that.  Cesar would say it's wrong for Linda to do that and she should not get us all worked up, but its been a tradition for over 15 years.
