My dogs are smarter than liberals!
Does it remember where I put my keys?
Every click through to the NYT generates revenue for them. Thanks, but I’ll pass.
But are they capable of being *thankful*?
When I was a kid my dog would leave physics equations on a piece of paper that he banged out overnight.
My Boston/French Bull is very good at learning similar to this, also good at vocabulary. The idiot Pug is a Hitler clone and dumb as a post. The Pug only knows what he wants.
By the way, Happy and reflective Thanksgiving all.

Dog Poetry
A Dogs Soul
Every dog must have a soul, somewhere deep inside
Where all his hurts and grievances are buried with his pride.
Where he decides the good and bad, the wrong way from the right,
And where his judgement carefully is hidden from our sight.
A dog must have a secret place, where every thought abides,
A sort of close acquaintance that he trusts in and confides.
And when accused unjustly for himself, He cannot speak,
Rebuked, He finds within his soul, the comfort he must seek.
He’ll love, tho’he is unloved, and he’ll serve tho’badly used,
And one kind word will wipe away the times when he’s abused.
Altho’ his heart may break in two, his love will still be whole,
Because God gave to every dog an understanding Soul!

-And THAT is why I have too many dogs...
My female mini-dachshund is very smart and very commutative. She has a whole range of modulated barks, whimpers, snarls, whines, yips, facial and ear movements that she draws on when she is trying to get her point across. Her physical and facial reactions to you the human not quite “getting it!” are hilarious. It’s the look of, “Can these two legged creatures really be this dumb? “. As she has gotten older she has become the “Grand Duchess “ of the house. She has her “spot on the couch” and there is a protocol about her spot. She has to get on the couch first or she sits in front of you and “complains” using all her communication skills. I have to shoo the other dogs off. They’re oblivious to the protocol violation. She gets on then either myself & the other dogs. She doesn’t care about the order. She is the smallest dachshund we have ever had but by far the most “dachshund-any”. She also doesn’t like you to pick her up until she decides its “ok”! She is very friendly with kids, people ,etc but always on her terms.
Well, duuuuh! Wasted time and money on something that's a plain as the nose on her face.
Pavlov did the classic experiment years ago proving dogs have memories.
Spelling out W-A-L-K or P-A-R-K gets an instant response from the dog like she knows what we are talking about.
Years ago I had a little terrier-mix named Chica. A friend came in the back door unannounced and Chica started barking at him. As a joke I said, “Watch out, Chica; he eats little dogs.” Chica dashed back to the bedroom and got under the bed. I had to get down on my hands and knees and persuade her I was just joking before she would come out and meet the man.
My rat terror Jax opens the front door when he wants in or out. It pisses me off because the GD chicken comes in, craps on the floor, then flies up in front of the tv.
I wake up, go into the living room and the door is wide open, the chicken has crapped on the floor and now is perched on the table watching the frickin’ tv my wife left on before going to work.
This is all true. The dog is too old to give away and the chicken is the last of my laying stock so my wife thinks she’s a pet.
I hate them both.
