If you think your dog can’t count, try putting 3 treats in your pocket and only giving him 2.
Not only can our dog count, we’re pretty sure he’s an accountant. He keeps careful inventory of the Scooby Snacks, the chipmunk and squirrel population and exactly how many bratwurst remain on the grill. He’s impeccably mannered, and has his timing thoughtfully planned out: when we sit down to eat, he hops into his bed and crosses his paws. Usually this is accompanied by a small sigh, or a “look away.” He does this knowing full well that, at the end of the meal, he will get a bite of something mixed in with his kibbles. All he wants is a little of what we’re having as he is, after all, a pack animal. He’s learned by experience, and with 10+ years of it, this dog has our habits down pat.
It’s no wonder pets help us live longer. Great post!
Thanks Sheryl. I give Frankie – aka – Superdog – all the credit in the world for us having long, happy lives together. Cheers!
Whoever says dogs don’t remember have no idea what they’re talking about! Frankie’s cute
Indeed CM’s Wife .. I shall pass on your kind words to the pooch.
Hilarious…and so true! Doggers know just how to work us
Indeed they do; thanks for visiting, Gus!
Such an adorable Puppy! It is absolutely true about the treats. Thanks for sharing.
Yes he not only has the count right but he has the “stare-down” perfected as well
