Blue heelers have usually been on my terror list... but ya never know... how about that poodle, or lab, or...
hmmm. Kibble for thought...
poodles are like geese, tough to get near them without freaking them out.. and they aren’t smart enough to dial 911.. but they sure raise a racket.
In college, my buddy Marilyn and I went over to her house after class, and as we walked in the front door, we found her poodle, Charlie, standing up on the edge of the sofa, swirling his paw (up to the shoulder) in the aquarium, herding the fish from side to side... and once he recognized that we were there, (not a word was spoken) he dove under the sofa, and none of our cajoling could persuade him to come out...
So... do poodles have innate guilt patterns built-in? Or did we discover a primordial sub-dawg fishing instinct, needing to be kept secret from other species?
Hmmm?
Stupid dog wagged it’s tail? At least my wife’s dog has some class and goes on point when she finds me hiding in the garden shed...
Yet another type of ratter dog.
charlie was probably just trying to supplement his diet with omega fatty acids.. poaching poodles is series stuff but I’d be more wary of shredding poodles.... they do have built in guilt detectors which makes it easier to iD perps..
I guess I’d take the dumb lab anytime. I just hate the thought of being outthoght by a dawg... specially a poodle. And damn, they’re smart too.
