I see Daisy's back-door-dance and walk over and open the back door. Daisy remains inside. Lily, the dog with the sought-after chewie, sees the door open, drops the chewie, and trots outside, eager for some yard time. Daisy runs over to where Lily was and grabs the chewie and runs off to another part of the house. I realize I've been played for a door-opening sucker yet again, and Lily returns from the yard momentarily, looking bewildered.
