Getting my exercise

Daisy just called for another looksee outside.  At least this time she stayed outside.  Duncan is  scratching on my leg to be put on the day bed.  He can't jump up there.  Jock can and Abby can, but Duncan does not know how to jump.  He won't even try to jump in the back door and that step is only 4 inches high.  Well, back to the back door.  Daisy has discovered runners and is waking the neighborhood and telling them all about it.  I swear, I never knew Dobermans talked, but she sure does.  And loud too.  However, I must admit that Duncan is as loud as Daisy.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how such a loud noise comes out of that little dog's mouth.  He can almost shatter your eardrums.  Right now he is king of the daybed.
