(love those poodles)<BR/><BR/>That is amazing, though, that she got into the tub by herself after only doing this twice! You've got one very smart dog.The Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901382895476261522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-51942045892899124352007-10-24T21:18:00.000-07:002007-10-24T21:18:00.000-07:00Dogs are amazing creatures.

I had an Old English Sheepdog that would sit on the couch like a human, feet on the floor, and watch TV. <BR/>I had a cat that would use the toliet, never used a kitty box. If you were using the john and he needed to, he would come in and stare you down until you left.the golden horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997072300287533624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-61979687456883901652007-10-23T08:27:00.000-07:002007-10-23T08:27:00.000-07:00Having a pet that literally talks to me and actual...Having a pet that literally talks to me and actually converses about these matters, I have come to appreciate what I think most animals must know without the use of 'words' to share. Kanoni, my African Grey Parrot, has changed my way of looking at them all!! <BR/><BR/>Smart doggie--thanks for sharing and confirming what I'm already beginning to understand in a more profound way!! I have a feeling it would be somewhat laughable to know what they were thinking about us?!?! In my defense...Kanoni has begun telling me she loves me...collective awww?!?! <BR/><BR/>I found myself raising my voice to her last week when she decided to take out her agitation at bedtime by biting at me. I soon realized I could teach her to become even more mean-spirited, or I could teach her she would be rewarded with kindness and understanding if she did NOT bite at me when it was time for bed. Like Lucy, it only took a couple of attempts at explaining to her that she could feel agitated but receive would positive attention by remaining her sweet self. She is so bright--she got it and now it's as if she waits to see if I notice that she is NOT biting. Awww...sweet dreams for both of us now!!!Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335976822110599015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-33394321325070707412007-10-22T13:53:00.000-07:002007-10-22T13:53:00.000-07:00That is a great story- I identified with it instan...That is a great story- I identified with it instantly! I have had many similar experiences at late hours (though they haven't learned that trick yet).<BR/><BR/>I have one smart dog and one "challenged" dog. The smart one has a vocabulary of probably 50+ words (listening, not speaking). Certainly smarter than many humans I have met.<BR/><BR/>Both of them are more loyal and have bigger hearts than about 99% of humans I have met. I wouldn't trade them for anything.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584533324781365762noreply@blogger.com
