I endeavor to be the man my dog thinks I am.

I’ve watched my dog work though things before acting more than a few times. Like watching where a rodent came from and cutting off its route of retreat.

Critters never cease to amaze me, there is intelligence to be found in some unlikely places.
I kept the blurry shots in this series, I was catching Yellow flies and trying to aim the camera simultaneously. This little Anole was my buddy for a couple of weeks one summer.

My dog thinks Bammy is a Liberty restrictor and would likely chew him out about it.....

Anyone who has become close to animals knows there is more going on in their heads than was commonly believed.
They don't think like we do--horses have alien minds, being large, flighty herbivores, for example--but they do think. Sometimes, they train us.

The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
Theyre dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
Zebras are reactionaries,
Antelopes are missionaries,
Pigeons plot in secrecy,
And hamsters turn on frequently.

I'd post a pic of Obunga, but that would be counterproductive.
Some would get the point, though. The pups are smarter.

This is why I gave up hunting. I regretted the last whitetail deer I shot three years ago and have not picked up a rifle since.

Great pics! Cute lizard! I tried to make friends with a large alligator lizard when I was a kid and it didn’t work out very well. The kid next door saw that I had a lizard so I gave it to him. It didn’t work out very well. So we put the lizard in a cage with a racer snake. It didn’t work out very well....for the snake.
I learned to stay away from alligator lizards.

I had to send my Baby Kitten over Rainbow Bridge today. I’m sorry. I am just really run down. I don’t mean to ruin anyone’s parade.
Love you guy’s!

“This is why I gave up hunting. I regretted the last whitetail deer I shot three years ago and have not picked up a rifle since.”
The very same thing happened to me in the mid-60s. I saw a buck with his harem on the top of a rise grazing at sunrise. I looked at the peaceful scene and could not shoot. I have not been hunting since but have been fishing for food but not for sport.

Well, around here, it’s “I’m going to stare at and pester you unt you feed and water me. Then I don’t give a crap about you anymore until next time.”
Poop.
Play.
Scratch my back, head, and ears.
Sleep.
Repeat.

I am sorry for your loss.
Lost my lab mix last month, and this retired Marine ain’t ashamed to admit I cried like a kid. One of the Best friends I ever had.

I read that an adult cat has about the same IQ as a human toddler. I find that very interesting, and pretty accurate.
