And he&#8217;s so smart, already being potty trained, going to the door when he needs outside, sitting on command with military precision (if you don&#8217;t praise him right away he does a &#8220;double sit,&#8221; sitting on his tail with his legs sticking right out under him), and he already is bringing in firewood with Spencer! He also has learned that Will&#8217;s comfortable old chair is doggy friendly. Sometimes he shares it with Spencer and sometimes he gets it before Spencer does! When Will comes in, he has to evict the dogs to sit down. Hondo is the last one out, giving Will the &#8220;do you really, really mean &#8220;get down&#8221;?
