I taught my dog how to "speak" for this reason. I've seen many solicitors do a u-turn in my driveway. Works like a charm. My good boy then gets a treat. :-)
@BooBoo_Kittie_F I try to do that too. It is especially helpful when you and I meet up because we can't stop talking long enough to figure out our order. lol Curious as to which restaurant did this?
