The sound of...?

[Kyoko]

Charlie notices some of the very subtle sounds and knows exactly what that means!

Sound of poop bag unrolling ---- she hear this from another room and comes running! Time for walk!

Zipping up my briefcase -------------- I do my weekly paper work on Sunday night, and once I am done, I take it to the office to drop it off since its due every Monday morning. She hears this zzzzzz ! sound and knows its time for the car ride!

Chime sound the computer makes when I shut down --- Mom is done with the computer and is going to play with me!! She comes running with some sort of toy in her mouth!!

It never fails.. she could be comfortably sleeping on the couch, but when she hear these sounds, she knows!! How about your doodle?

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

In the morning after DH leaves for work Haley usually goes upstairs to "his" couch in the front hall.  He hears me get my second and sometimes third cup of coffee and comes running for a treat.  After treat he goes back to his couch upstairs.  He then comes running when he hears me cut a banana for my cereal.  I always give him a piece.  He hears me change my shoes and comes to go out to play fetch.  No matter how quiet I am about doing these things Haley always hears and comes running.
