Speed Bump


If Rudy is a dog wall, Emme, being smaller, is a dog speed bump. She is not enough to stop your progress, but she is enough to make you slow down. Emme is almost always next to either Ken or me.
I am reading a book about dogs that makes the point that dogs are pack animals and no matter how large your house is, dogs often choose to be only inches away from you. This is a part of their genetic inheritance to stay with the pack. We see that with both Emme and Rudy. We call this "Velcro Dog." The dogs can't seem to stay close enough to one or the other of us. It is rather nice.
