OBSERVATION
At first there was meandering walk in my bedroom with no clear destination. Her leaked me on my face and finally headed out of the room. Her headed to the kitchen .As her moved her swept the room by moving hers head side to side as her goes to hers dish where there is dog food.
After feeding her headed out where her runs round the compound playfully, she jumped while twisting hers body. There is panting and the tongue is hanging outside the mouth. Her shook herself and lifted hers leg up and urinated. There was some movement at the fence and her became hyper vigilant with perked ears and instant stare. Her moved towards the noise then moved away. Suddenly her started barking and on checking there was a rat which took of immediately the dog started barking.
