How to summon a dog:
1. Sit on couch (dog now interested)
2. Rest elbow on back of couch (dog confused)
3. Let hand dangle over other seat of couch (dog apparates to position under hand)
@alice my actual favorite method is to lift the blankets off the bed
but if I did that now I'd fall asleep
@Maenad My favorite method is to stand in front of the stove. You don't have to do anything else. Just the hope of catching something falling to the floor as you cook is enough.
