Emme, the Herder Dog

Every morning when we get dressed, Emme and Rudy follow Ken into the bedroom closet because they know that as soon as he gets dressed he will take them out to the backyard and play. A while ago, Rudy began a practice of "herding" Ken to make sure that he left the closet as quickly as possible. As soon as Ken tied his shoes and got up from the chair, Rudy would put his body behind Ken, in front of the chair, so he couldn't sit down again. He would then begin to gently push Ken toward the closet door. He was herding him out so Ken would take Rudy outside to play. Wouldn't you know that Emme is starting to do the same thing. Now Ken has two herders. There is no tarrying in the morning. It is get dressed and then go outside to play, quickly.
