I want to go outside

Today I left the house for a while with Echo inside. When I returned Echo was happy to see me so I hugged her and said hello then went into another room. Momentarily she came to me, caught my eye, then turned and walked away beckoning me to follow. I couldn't follow at the time but I knew she wanted to go outside. So I told her to go and pull the rope and open the door.

She trotted off heading for the front door which was in another room.

Shortly I heard the jingle of the bells on the leather strap which has a little rope attached to it, which hangs on the front door knob. I knew she had gone outside.

She never ceases to amaze me. She has opened the door many times, but only recently has she appeared to come to me to ask for something then do as I tell her.
