Took our usual walk to get the mail, however the mail lady was running late. Instead of walking back and returning again we decided to wait. Charlie felt it was a good time to relax. There is an invisible boundary in line with the gate and fence, he knows not to cross, so he laid down at his limit.
Calmly waiting
It turns out that we walked back and returned later anyway. Ha! As soon as we got back to the house (1/4 mile) we saw her go by. She was probably watching us all of the time and laughing. Ha!
