I station Ari in the laundry room with our "wait" sign, and hide myself around the corner and down the hall behind the bathroom door.

"Ayfo atah? (meaning where are you?)," I whisper.

The search begins.

Not in the office. Not in the bedroom.
Back up the hall to the living room…nope.
Down the hall to where Jeff is working, another check of the office,…then voila, finds me!

Another "wait" sign, and I steal away, hide behind the office door.

Ayfo Atah?"

Finds me right away.

"Wait."

Ayfo Atah?"
Bingo, nails me in the living room.

**Okay, either I’m leaving a trail of breadcrumbs, or Ari, this amazing elder-dog is still Ari the WonderDog!
