Guillermo's new friend

I didn't know that while I was gone, Guillermo started up a daily ritual with the dog next door!  He told me that every evening, when he would do the dishes, he would do his loud whistle and the next thing he knew, that little dog would climb up the tree and then sit on a branch and watch Guillermo through the window.  The little dog is a Jack Russell Terrier named Jackie and she must be a little over a year old.  The neighbors got her when she was a puppy.  She always has greeted us through the fence and has been climbing the tree for quite a while.  It was amusing when she first started to climb the tree.  She'd get herself way up high and then we'd watch as she struggled to learn how to get herself back down the steep trunk.
Anyway, somehow or another, Guillermo learned that whistling at the sink (even with the windows closed) was something that Jackie could hear and respond to and she'd appear up on the branch every time.  Here are a few pictures of this precious dog, who we call Jiggy, or Jigafur, or even sometimes Jackie.

How we see Jiggy as we're standing at the sink, looking through window and screen.  She's right there in the middle.

Putting the camera above the screen gives a slightly clearer look.

Then I walked outside to get a picture without any glass or screen.

There she is.  Such a silly Jigafur.

But every evening now, when we wash dishes, Guillermo does his whistle and Jiggy climbs the tree.  It is so funny!
