... being lucky, having two extremely gorgeous (and incidentally) highly intelligent/albeit fortunately eloquent puppies (try saying that all in one breath without a pause) is that most people think dogs are quite stupid.
Whereas, I think they're man's best friend, but we don't appreciate them enough.
If we reminded ourselves, even while our own food went cold, that this animal has got feelings too. It might just express them another way... or more noisily, but we should be glad they're intelligent enough to want to. I wonder what we sound like to them?
My labrador is almost one year old, and he's mystified at the moment. You know what labradors are like, with their head tilted to the side and a frown - Perplexed.
He's finding living outdoors, whilst appearing unlimited and a bit too big at first, is actually quite small when it comes to interesting things to do. I also suspect he's realised I'm reluctant to get wet or cold, as preference, I like to choose what I avoid. He's wondering how much influence he can have on my decision, you know, whether I'll give in to that cute expression and give him a treat.... something he wants like food. He always likes food.
Next door's garden appears heavenly to my huge baby, I think it's got something to do with their dog standing at the border and looking so much like a play friend. My pup is convinced it shouldn't be wrong, afterall.... if he just moves this thing I keep putting in the way.... he's figured out, he can get in there all by himself, no help required.
He's probably confused about why he doesn't get a reward after being so clever. I must seem like a proper spoil sport. I don't look at all impressed when he shows me the great stick he's just about to sit down and enjoy chewing either, in fact... I often look cross - Humans must seem weird to dogs.
