Or Maybe He Can Fly

Today I was sitting in a chair beside the counter and Rowdy got up on his hind legs with his paws on my leg, like he was begging for something.  I was teasing him a little when I patted the counter and said to him, "Want up here?  Do ya?  Huh?  Do ya want up here?"  Without hesitation, he decided to jump up there on his own without assistance from me, by jumping up on my lap and then right up onto the counter.  Guess he thought I was too slow in assisting him and it was ok for him to use my lap as a step up as he shot up there like a flash!
