Jackson ran around the backyard this morning like he usually does.  He kept himself busy for quite awhile.  He was up by the treehouse and something caught his attention.  He actually barked a couple of times and I was trying to remember if I'd heard him bark before.  I don't think I have.  It surprised me but then I had to laugh.  He ate just a little bit too when we went inside and then he plopped down on the floor.
