That's great! I could have used either word in that other thread where we listed words not used in titles yet. :)

My pit bull has a routine that isn't meant to snub, it's meant to show that she's on top of things, but a human might misinterpret it the first time they see it. When I open the back door to join the dogs outside she perks up her ears and races to the back of the back yard and barks through the cyclone fence to the southwest. I think she's warning off the old rottweiler two doors up to stay away. Or maybe scolding their cats. Anyway, when she finishes this brisk task then she comes over to have me put on the leash or whatever I was going to do that requires her presence. (I haven't had the heart to tell her that what she's doing amounts to a workman leaning on his shovel and then quickly bending his back to the work when he sees the boss enter the work site.)
