My old guy wants to lay out in the sun right now. He just lays there until he is ready to come in and then everyone in the house jumps to attention to go out and bring him in.
A few years ago when new neighbours moved in my sister and I were driving by their house and there was a chocolate lab laying on their front step.My comment was "I didn't know Angela had a choc lab", on taking another look it was our old chocolate girl enjoying the sunshine of the stoop. She cam home when she recognized the truck.
