Sometimes my basset hound, Abby plays "Fort" with the couch. Usually it is started by a dog-fit and rampaging around with lots of pouncing and barking. When the barking gets too loud I instruct her gently to use her "inside voice!" When the command processes in her brain she stuffs her snout in the couch cushions and barks. This makes me and my husband laugh out loud.
Last week after getting a bath, Abby decided to not just build a Fort, she decided the locals needed to be razed by the natives and she ran amok through the newly constructed Fort pouncing and barking. When I instructed her gently to use her inside voice she jumped on the bare couch, spun a 720 (that's 2 360's), looked me in the eyes and BARKED! Then she settled down to glare at the Fort and it's decimated population with a grumpy sigh.
This leads me to wonder how many calories Abby burned building and storming a fort and observing the carnage. Enough to make up for the Campfire Shake I had with my onion rings and cheeseburger? Or does it only off-set the Cherry Coke in my Diet Coke? Cause I wanna play too.
