Kitty is not impressed.
So a dog is like a 14 month old child? I smell social engineering - big time.
I love dogs, but they don’t seem to instantly repeat the F-word whenever it’s uttered within a 5 mile radius like your average 14 month-old does.
...or Hillary Clinton.
And so are most liberals.
In certain cases, such as Young Democrats, 18 to 30 year old children.
Kitty is not impressed.
As a dog, I have to complain about the limited scope of the experiment. Next time, I want to see steak bones and poodles in the mix to see where the dog would put his energy.
My springer is as bright as most dull 3 year olds.
Not my dog.
I love him dearly, he is gentle and kind and lovable, but...
14-day-old is more like it.
I said, "Mom, you're spelling in front of a dog."
She insisted he understood the word, so I turned to him (he was just a little dog) and said calmly, with as little inflection as I could, "Tsar, I'm going to get your toys."
That dog went nuts. "BARARARARAR! BARARARARAR!" He ran over to his toys and stood over them, glaring at me. Over the course of the week I learned that you had to spell toys, car, out, and ice cream in front of him if you didn't want to set him off.
And I do not say this in a sentimental cloud of mush; I hated that little mutt. My parents loved him beyond measure. My sisters and I used to joke, "Stay on Tsar's good side, because he's going to inherit everything."
Thankfully, I outlived him. But anyway, he was freaky smart.
GOD AND DOG
On the first day of creation, God created the dog.
On the second day, God created man to serve the dog.
On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth
(especially the horse) to serve as potential food for the dog.
On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could
labor for the good of the dog.
On the fifth day, God created the tennis ball so that the dog
might or might not retrieve it.
On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep
the dog healthy and the man broke.
On the seventh day, God tried to rest, but He had to walk the dog
For all you dog lovers out there check out “Jim the Wonder Dog” perhaps the smartest dog that ever lived (that we know about).
In the interest of fairness, I gotta ask also. Why weren't cats tested? My 14-pound "rescue" cat is way smarter than my 40-pound dog. He naps in the dog's bed and the dog naps on the floor. And gets away with it!
So two dogs walk into the bar looking for Guinness....
Ping!
Oh, baloney. Mine’s at least as smart (and as well behaved) as a two year old.
Border Collies may well be the smartest overall. Labs are pretty darn bright, but not as smart as the BCs (I own two Labs, or they own me, not sure which.)
I'd be willing to bet that nothing is dumber than your average Afghan Hound. I've seen smarter rocks.
I have a 14 month old and my pug is WAY smarter! ;o)
