your constant bickering makes things extremely unpleasant around here.


Do you need a reminder of filters? If your experience is being made
unpleasant, you are allowing it.


Unfortunately, the usenet kill filter is currently broken on Mozilla
Thunderbird, but will hopefully be fixed in a future release. I would
consider changing to another app, but the spam filter on this one is
pretty awesome.

they come home from the groomers, they RUN tomy bedroom to look in the
mirror. truth

Question: Has anyone ever managed to get a dog
to understand that it can see its reflection in a mirror,
and if so, did it appear to experience a great revelation
about its own existence at the instant it learned to do so?

My puppy discovered the mirror today, and showed
great interest in the other puppy in there. My experience
has been that my dogs lose interest in mirrors pretty
quickly. Whether they do so because they realize
it's their own reflection, because the other dog never
comes out of the mirror, or because the other dog
has no smell is anybody's guess. I've never seen
one have an "Aha!" moment about it though.

As for dog's having a sense of self, I would agree with
that. They recognize other dogs and people as
individuals, and I don't think they'd do that unless they
were themselves individuals.
