Evil Genius

Maggie is a very smart dog. She knows a ton of tricks (learned them in a matter of minutes). She understands an astounding amount of "human words". She can sniff out a new or old toy a mile away. But here lately I'm just convinced she's got a lil' bit of a mean streak in her. During the night, Tucker always stakes claim to the bed...always has. Maggie is usually happy to sleep on the rug or her bed. (she doesn't like to be smothered). But since it's been colder I think she's yearning for the bed a lil more. But if she tries to join us, Tucker growls and forbids her. This does not faze our little evil genius. She will wait a few minutes then go scratch on the doggie door to go out. Tucker has NEVER been left out of a chance to go outside. So he will jump right off the bed and join her by the back door as he patiently waits to be let out. Then Maggie will run, run, run back to the bedroom and lunge for the bed...taking her place in Tucker's warm spot. Tucker (not a genius) is absolutely clueless to her antics as he continues to wait at the backdoor to go outside. By the time he gives up, she's happily asleep in his spot and he has to stake claim to another, less desirable place in the bed. :)
