Sit at Attention!

So when you live on base, or are on base at any time around 8 am or 5 pm, you will know that colors plays, and you are to stop whatever it is you are doing and stand in silence.  But how many people get to say that their dog (without any training, mind you!) knows that they are to SIT at attention?!  YEP!  Our smart pup on his first day living on base heard Colors going on in the evening, and sat outside at attention. Didn't move a bit until it was finished.  Now as impressed as I was, I just blew it off as mere coincidence that he would be so well behaved.  However, we've been on base for about a month now (but only actually here for about a week altogether after holiday travels) and EVERY time the trumpets start, Cooper sits at attention and doesn't make a sound or move until it is finished.  While all the other dogs are running up and down the fence and barking along with the tunes, he sits and pays his respects!  It is by far the cutest darn thing I've ever witnessed in my life! Some day soon I will actually take a picture of it and post it on here for you all to see!  Needless to say, he was cut out for the military life!
