I was working in the driveway and Stacey though Luce might want to want to watch. She laid a towel down since he knows that is where he is supposed to lay and he settled down to watch what I was doing. I was working out there for quite a while and forgot he was there. I had to go around to the back of the house and when I came back a few minutes later his head was up looking around, but once he saw me again he put it back down. We think he really likes to coolness of the stone on the porch. Later, Stacey came out and he popped up into his begging bear pose:

Of course once he saw me he gave me a look as if to say “Whatta U Lookin’ At”:

Luce usually does not just walk like most dogs, he tends to strut on his walks. He does not need a leash so we usually do not use one in our own neighborhood. He loves to sniff a spot to death and strut along to the next spot what I call for him to “come-on”. Here he is after I just called to him:

Here is another video when he really wanted to keep sniffing so he ignored the first few recalls (yes, we still have some work to do).

Luce is supposed to get fed at 4:00 PM which keeps pretty much keeps him from bothering us while we eat. Don’t get me wrong, he does not beg for table scraps ever which is probably due to the fact that he has never gotten any. We made that mistake before but let’s not go there. He would find many ways to be annoying if he did not eat before us and we were sitting there at the table. Here he is watching Stacey get his food ready and yes, he still lays with his legs splayed out like a puppy:
