Gives me that "you said outside---get up, lets go" look.
If it was just cause the water or food bowl was empty, when we get down stairs he goes and stands in front of them, instead of the door. Knuckle-head has figured out that if he can get me to let him out, he can show me the bowl is empty.
Comes and gets me at bed time too. Lays at me feet by the couch...only time he does it. He knows I have to get into bed first, but then we can snuggle.
