Why Does She Do That?

by Roger Powell

When Nokomis puts her kong in my lap, I know what she wants. She wants to play. When I am sitting at the dining room table and Ishkoodah puts her head on my thigh, I do not know exactly what she wants but I do know the two options: either she wants some love (most likely) or she is begging (only slightly less likely). Sometimes, however, I have no idea why my dogs do what they do. Why does Ishkoodah lift her head from my lap, look sweetly into my face, and belch? Why do dogs do such irrational things? I believe that somewhere in their ancestral past, the irrational behavior, or a related behavior, made sense.
