We adopted her 3.5 years ago. Smartest dog I have ever seen. I could tell you things she does, and it would leave you believing that maybe there is reincarnation, and just maybe she was once a human. It is very eerie.
She runs our whole house, literally. So many things that she does have my wife and I laughing all day. When she decides it is time for you to get up in the morning, she will start with a gentle "hmm", and it gradually gets louder 3 or 4 more times, and then she barks at you. Well, I was awake with the first "hmm". I will lay there and pretend I am still sleeping, and she will leap on the bed and start nudging me gently with her paw on my shoulder. She nudges me more firmly 3 or 4 more times. I still pretend to sleep. Then she starts pulling down the covers on the bed. Sheet, blanket, and bedspread, all pulled down. By then, I can't keep a straight face, and she gets all excited when I move.
