[nagdu] Wagging and Harnessing

[Toni Whaley]

All my dogs have come running when they hear me get down the harness. My
first dog would run right into the harness if I held it down at her level.

Holly does that as well. Except for the fact that she plays a little hard to
get with the harness! She'll nose around and play a little first.
