Chico is getting very good at moving into and out of motel rooms.

He has pretty much destroyed the stuffed toy that was part of his winnings at the trial in Sacramento, so when in a thrift shop the other day, I picked out a stuffed animal for him. It’s a doggie, and looks a little like a border collie (one of Chico’s favorite breeds). He really likes it and carries it to the car when we check out of a motel.

When I pick up the suitcase, he takes the toy,

and carries it outside.

and

to the car.

OK, maybe he takes the long way, but geeze, it’s pretty cute, iddn’t it?
