Perhaps, but their math skills are horrendous

Trigger's math skills were as good as his owner's.

putting out a homing signal.

I figured this out years ago. It’s why dogs pee on car tires.
It’s like a dotted line right back home.

Years ago, my husband worked nights. He would leave and I would make sure the doors were locked and then go to the bedroom turn on the light and TV before getting ready for bed. Once ready for bed, I would call our dog, a Labrador, out of the kids room to sleep in my bedroom. Then one night my husband left for work and I stayed up to watch a tv show and fold laundry. I’m in the living room folding laundry when our dog comes down the hall and looks at me, goes back up the hall and comes back a moment later. Shen then walks towards me, leans her head to the side and then tosses the TV clicker from the bedroom onto the sofa. Wow! Its seems our doggie girl knew my routine and was telling me to go to go to bed. lol.

Awfully silly anyone didn’t know this and spent money on it to find out or that it is newsworthy.

Dogs and cats are great alarm clocks. They know what time to get up, to eat breakfast and to eat dinner and when it is bedtime. They know what time to come in at night but, like teens, do so on their own time.

If only the pets would teach my kids...
Time for bed or time for school is inconceivable without a fight.

My old Siberian Husky (rest her soul), taught herself to go potty before getting in the car. She used to ride everywhere with me. Guess she also knew by the motion of the car or road when we were approaching where different animals lived. Cows around this corner. Goats 3.5 miles down that road.

Isn’t that the truth! I had a Chocolate Lab who knew what time I got home from work. When I would leave in the morning he would be sitting, looking at me through the gate as I left. When I returned, he would be in the same place. Unbeknownst to me, as soon as I would turn the corner he would go swim out into the lake and go visiting our neighbors along the slew. He would always be back- and dry- when I returned. I never figured out until years late how everyone in our neighborhood seemed to know him when we went on walks. It wasn’t until several years after he had left did I find out what he would do, and that was only when I went into a local store to pick up some stuff and an elderly gentlemen inquired about what had happened to him. Apparently this man really liked my dog and enjoyed his company. This gentlemen is the one who enlightened me to the fact that as soon as my car turned the corner, Duke my dog, would go visiting.

A squirrel comes and knocks on the bedroom window at exactly 6am every day. Jays arrive simultaneously and start a big fight with the squirrel. It`s a great alarm clock. Raccoons are on flex time. They just come whenever they want to. Skunks usually are within 1 hour accuracy. Fishers also appear to be using raccoon time. Every country hick knows “til the cows come home.” This is the kind of crap you would expect from a bunch of city-slicker college grads who are total ignoramuses of life.

High maintenance? Have you priced contract security systems? Guarded gated communities, security guard contracts, alarm systems etc? Talk about expensive high maintenance.

I don't need any of that with super intelligent German Shepherd dogs.☺

Before I got married I had a cat that would tell me to go to bed by making a flying leap onto the back of my desk chair. Every night at the same time, 10:30 PM. She was a bit put out when I got married. Guess she expected that woman to go home before 10:30.
4:30 every day, my dog waits at the back door. I let her in and she sits patiently in the kitchen watching me make her dinner. Yup, she knows what time it is.
Another study of the obvious. Waste of money.
