Dog psychology. I got my first Border Collie 51 years ago. A Border Collie NEVER does anything

without a reason. The problem is that often I can't figure out what their reasoning is for something they are doing.

My four year old sleeps in her crate on my side of the bed. Every morning we do the same routine when I open her crate door. Lola runs to the foot of our bed, puts her front feet up on the bed and waits until I catch up with her. I'll box her years, rub her neck and than bend over and give her a smooch on the white spot on her head. After the smooch she jumps down and flies down the hall heading to the kitchen door. The exact same routine every morning.

This morning after her first smooch she jumps down than instantly jumps back up wanting another smooch. This went on for at least 12 to 15 times. I finally told her it was time to go potty and down the hall she went.

As I said earlier, a Border Collie always has a reason for their actions but this one has me stumped. Twice I could see but doing it until I told her to go potty I just don't get what Lola's thinking was.

Any ideas??

Aren't dogs wonderful!!!
